Definitely not a Harlequin style book and it focuses on the politics. As I said in my earlier post, since it relies on a lot of primary documents. It was written in the late 50s, so before the pop-historical style that Weir likes so much came into vogue. To Weir's credit, I think she gets a lot of people to read history that probably wouldn't bother otherwise.

I have never been quite sure what subjects fly here, but here goes.

I am too lazy to go the Gym, so I workout at home, but I am pretty good about staying with it. I used to do two sets of fifty pushups. I decided to push up my whole work out routine, which included moving from fifty push ups to one hundred push ups.

I was able to double all my other routines, but I can't get past seventy push ups. I have been stuck there for three weeks now. I just get to around seventy and can't do any more.

Anyone know what is going on?
You have reached a plateau. You can't keep getting stronger forever. Increase your protein intake and you'll build muscle and get stronger.

I guess I wasn't clear. I was doing two sets of fifty. So I was getting to 100 no problem. I did that for years. But I got the point where I wasn't looking any better so I pushed up all my numbers. But with the pushups I just couldn't go past seventy. It was just weird. With all the other excercizes the more I did them, the more reps I could do. But with pushups I just hit a wall with seventy.

Every day I get up and tell my self that this is the day I get past seventy, but it never happens.

I'm not big on these clubs, so I'm just asking: doesn't eye contact ruin the main purpose of being there? I get the play Spanky's making, but it seems a big risk with little % chance of reward.

If she has already made the money she wanted to make that evening, or if she has given up because it is a slow night, you just might be in business.

If I increase my protein intake will I be able to hit a hundred or will I just get bigger. I know I am sounding a little obsessive here but it was a goal I set for myself and it is rather frustrating not being able to get there.

I used to go to strip clubs by myself, and I don't think it was creepy.

Back when I lived in DC and was a student, I resided in a number of apartments/houses over a number of years that were (a) in Georgetown or slightly north of it, proper; and (b) lacked washing machines/dryers. There was a laundrymat on Wisconsin Ave. north of G-town. Next door was a stripper bar-can't remember the name, but it was sleazy. Across the street was a stripper bar, Good Guys. I'd go do my laundry and while I was waiting for wash and dry cycles to cycle, I'd go watch the strippers and drink beer. And I got one to go home w/ me, albeit via an encounter in the laundrymat, she was doing her laundry between sets and a conversation about fabric softener led to another thing....
true story: I was friends with a stripper* who worked in DC for a while at a strip club that was located near Sign of the Whale. I forget the name of the stripping establishment. Do you know it?



*adding my anecdotal evidence to Spanky's, she was crazy, had low self-esteem and had a pretty bad coke habit (which tended to make her all the more crazy). she could be a lot of fun though.

In the alternative, you could:

1. Stop telling yourself that; or

2. Get a weight vest or put some books on your back and try to get to 70. After a few weeks of that, I guarantee you break 70 if you remove the weight.

I'm no exercise physiologist, but wouldn't it help if you worked those muscles some other way than by doing push ups? Mix it up a little.

I think TM is right. You have stepped up everything else so it's draining energy from your ability to do your pushups. Eat more protein is excellent advice.

So is my sets of 20 advice. When I do them in sets of 20 I can do 200. And I am a skinny-assed girl. It will at least build your confidence, if nothing else.

The main purpose of being there? Without trying to pick one up, I don't understand strip clubs at all. I guess I don't like to be enticed into liking something unless I can have it.

Perhaps get a stripper to sit on his back. Either that, or one of the neighbor kids.

You will get a little bigger, but you're lifting huge weights, so I wouldn't worry about it. But you will get stronger. If you get stronger, you will be able to do more push ups.

So it tried to be upscale? The place she worked in Dallas was high end, as strip clubs go. As you might imagine, Dallas has a number of "gentlemen's clubs" as opposed to strip joints.

I have protein powder and I eat PB and Js. I am not a vegetarian, but I find it hard to eat a lot of meat. I eat out mostly and it is hard to find meat with out a lot of carbs. I also prefer carbs to meat. Is there another way to increase my protein intake?
