Curl your weight体重アムカール

2012-01-25T13:57:00.001+09:00

Lately I haven't changed my training menu around much but I have changed my reps and weight. Before, I would do a warm up set at about 40% my max and then go into 3 or for sets of reps of increasing weight. My working sets were usually 70%,85%,and 100% of my max . Now and then I would sometimes throw in a high rep drop set. Lately I have kept the same warm up set but changed my working sets to 90%, 100%,80%,80%. So far I feel and look bigger than I did last week. The back is finally coming along little by little.

80kg(176lb) preacher curl. 80kgプリーチャーカール。その時体重は76kg。At the time I was 76kg. (167lb)

最近のトレーニングメニューはあまり変わってないけど重量とレップを変わってみてます。前はワームアップセット(maxの40%)をしたらワーキングセット(working set=本当のセット)の重量はだいたいワームアップセットの70%をアップ、その後は85%と100%それからたまにハイレップドロップセット入れました。最近やって見てるのはワームアップセットそのままmaxの40%。ワーキングセットは90%、100%, 80%,80%.今までは大きくなったと感じてる。背中はやっと少しずつでいけてます！

The Osaka motor show is over! Lots of people came by to check us out.

大阪モーターショーはやっと終わった。来客が多かった！

一年ぶりに大森ジムにトレーニングしに行った！
It's been a year since I worked out at Omori!

マシン多くて、エリア広くて、ジャクジーあったり、スタッフ優しくて。。でも今までもエスカレーターと階段はいつも間違う(^-^)ゞ
It has a lot of machines, a jacuzzi, lots of space, the staff is nice.. But still I always make a mistake going up the stairs and down the escalator..

明日からはちゃんとのホテルの泊まるんから今日は一日ガマンしないと
I gotta stay here for one night but from tomorrow I will be in a legit hotel.

ハッピーサンクスギビングHappy Thanksgiving

2011-11-25T06:37:00.005+09:00

米国に毎年11月第三週木曜日にサンクスギビング(thanksgiving)と言う祭日あります。皆が実家に帰ってディナーを親戚と食べたり、テレビでアメフトを見たり、一日をリラックスできる日。今年はジムの友達賢さん、横田さんと岩川店長とサンクスギビングディナーをブラジリアンシュラスコ食べ放題でお肉や美味しいサラダバーをゆく食うた(^o^)
Every year in America on the Thursday of the third week in November is the Thanksgiving holiday. Everyone goes back to the hometown and visits with their family and relatives while eating a big dinner, watching football and relaxing all day. This year I went out with three friends from the gym.

今年いっぱいまでお肉もいらんわ、囧rz(笑)

サンクスギビングの次の日は「ブラックフライデー」と言う日にお店が夜中・朝の早時間から営業をして、一年の一番大きいバーゲンセールやる日。

あちこちのお店は人いっぱいになったり、皆はクリスマスギフトを買いに行くこと。割引大きい物の在庫は早めになくなるので、変なやつはお店の前に一日から一週間をキャンプをして、バーゲンが始めてからお店に全開ダッシュでお店に買い物する。関西スーパーのバーゲンセールの大阪のおばあちゃんたちの強さ掛ける500倍ぐらいと感じるかな(◎_◎;)もぅびっくりするぐらい。

多くセール品はアパレルや電気製品など、ネットでは一番楽。アメリカブランド好きな人をWeb見て、セールをやってるかも！

あとで英訳やる予定！

It just needs the bar above the shop and a gym in the back.

昨日は胸と背中やったので今日トレは腕と腹筋だった。

久しぶりに賢さんと一緒にハンバーグをMon Amiっていうレストランに食べに行った。めっちゃ食うたわ！家帰って寝てしまうかも！

彼の新しいポルシェカイエンターボを初めて見たので、めっちゃいい感じだった！今度日曜日に写真とらないとあかんな、今回忘れた。

Yesterday was my first day back at the gym. I worked my chest and back and today was my abs and arms.

I didn't see my buddy Ken for a while so we grabbed some hamburg from this famous place he goes to all the time called Mon Ami. It was damn good and we ate a lot. I think Ima pass out as soon as I get home.

I forgot to get a picture of his new Porsche Cayenne turbo that he just picked up. I'll have to get one this Sunday when we workout.

After one more day. 後一日

Hayashi Rice

2011-10-27T07:36:00.001+09:00

Tonight the wife is on the night shift so its left-overs night.

Lucky me, there was some leftover Hayashi Rice!

What is Hayashi rice?

It's onions, mushrooms and thinly cut beef in a thick brown sauce. Picture Italian beef and a thick brown soup. Tonight I'm going to put it over bread.

今夜嫁が夜勤から晩飯は残り物。ティムラッキー！ハヤシライスの残り分をgetした！

ハヤシライスってなに？

玉ねぎ、マッシュルームと牛肉の薄切りをブラウンシチューみたいなソース。イタリアンビーフとブラウンソースみたいな感じします。

今夜トーストのいうにのせて食べる！
ちょっと外国人specになっちゃうけど(^-^)ゞ

ハヤシストリートをプラスしたら味がちょっと辛くなります。
By adding some Hayashi Street you can make it a little more hot.

友達から教えてくれたのmotto。。「男は黙ってカワサキ」
中国では、「男は黙ってＳＵＳＵＫＩ」！
なんちゃったスズキバイク！

Its been about 2 months on my break from training so I am getting a little fat and eating a lot.
My friend taught me a phrase in Japanese that translates to 'Without saying, being a man is Kawasaki.' It roughly translates to the strong pride a man can have for his bike.

But in China, being a man is all about riding a SUSUKI!
I was lucky enough to get a picture with the copy of the popular Suzuki bike brand.

Lincolns

2011-10-17T21:51:00.001+09:00

I was young and stupid. When helping my dad pick up newspapers from the school paper drive we often visited old people at their houses. I saw a lot of old cars in garages I went to go get papers from.

I had a chance to pick up a powder blue late four door 60s Lincoln for 500 dollars. Like I said I was young and stupid and wanted a two door foreign car.

It could have been dope.

No shaken ( the two year Japanese car inspection). No emissions. When I get back, something will be built!

At the track

2011-10-15T16:16:00.001+09:00

I bet on one race and lost 600 yen but got two free beers and some free chicken, so It all works out as a beer costs 520 yen!

2011-10-02T11:38:00.001+09:00

高校の三年生ごろから僕らの車のパーツを取る付けるとセッティングはお姉ちゃんのガレージをよく借りてくれた。ガレージにあったCDプレーヤーがチョイスあまりなくて、ロブの作ってくれたミックスCDとお姉ちゃんの旦那のKMFDMをよく聞いたり何回もリプレイで同じソングを聞いてた。今までもその良く聞いたCDを聞くとその時を思い出します。今朝Chicaneのsaltwaterを聞いたらお姉ちゃんのガレージの思い出を出てしまった。I miss you Colleen!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRuPOk7olg8&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Since about my third year in high school, we often used my sister's garage for changing parts on our cars. Music wise, we had had a small cd player with not much of a choice of CDs but we usually listed to a trance and dance cd Rob made or my sister's husband's KMFDM CDs where we had listed to all the songs over and over on replay. Even when I hear some of those songs now, I often remember my times in my sister's garage. This morning I heard this song from Chicane, saltwater. It took me back to the garage real fast. I miss you Colleen!

But today is going to be good...

I got Fusion Radio on the iPhone, an empty train ride through the Osaka loop to work and the wife will be cooking tonight.

Woah! I just requested ATB from the IPhone application and...one song later I got hooked up! ATB- Ecstacy ＼(^o^)／ thanks Fusion!

結婚できない男 vs Doctor House

If doctor House was born in Japan and about 10 years younger he would be this guy from 'Kekkon Dekinai Otoko' (The guy who can't get married) Damn I miss American TV.

I have a lot of business trips planned until the end of the year.

October: Shanghai Auto Salon

November: Sema Show Las Vegas

December: Tokyo Motor Show

The work is mainly expositions and trade shows but I want to be the head at my job for this kind of work..so I gotta put in the time.

I made my order for supplements to pick up in Vegas. The price is about 1/3 of Japanese supplements!

I stopped by a car shop that is close to my house. They had cars ranging from EF Civics to NSXs. Although my wife can drive manual, I think I would fit good in that white EF. Heh
But above all, the staff was really nice.

2011-09-12T18:40:00.000+09:00

仕事までは1時間20分に電車で通うしてます。電車を乗りながら大学生時に気になった本を読んでます。この本は色なコミュニケーションスタイルやパターンを言説明するから好き。コミュニケーションでホーム、仕事、友達とプライベート仕事で上手くにコミュニケーションをしたいと思う。

My new commute is about 1hr 20mins so while I ride I have been reading an old book I kept from college. I liked this book a lot because it really emphasized different communication styles and patterns and till now I continue to use and see how no matter where you are in the world we all communicate and need to communicate. I hope to use my communication to make a good home, work, with friends and in a side business when I decide to do something independent.

Moving- Typhoon edition,引っ越し-スペック台風

On 8/31 I met up with my friend and borrowed his new Elgrand. The car is the shit! Big, leather, TVs, navi, reclining seats with foot rests..so dope! It was my first time driving anything with a CVT trans as well. It moved well and was really quiet. When I received the car it only had 600kilos on it, I felt bad for using it for moving haha! Having this here really saved me a ton of time and money for moving to the new place with the family. Thanks Bro!

8月31日に友達のエルグランドを借りました。この車はめっちゃいい！でっかくて、レザー、TV、ナビ、リクライニングシートと足上げやつもつき。。あついやろー！今回は僕の始めcvtトランスミッションと乗って見た。良く走るを出来たりしずかかった。車もらった時にこの車は600kmしか乗ってなかった。引っ越しすると使うはもったいないと思ってた f^_^;)。でも新しい家に家族と引っ越しするのはこの車が時間やお金をよく助かってくれたわ、Thanks bro!!

I miss my car!

2011-08-26T04:32:00.001+09:00

I can't remember exactly, but until now I thinking have owned more than 20cars. I don't have a picture of the actual one, but this is the same to what I drove in my 3rd year of high school. This was my first car. 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass S. The only difference with my car was that it had a black vinyl soft top. The V8 the 350 Rocket made a good noise.. but was damn slow!

今まで思い出せないけど、車を20台以上と乗りました。ほんまの物の写真ないけど、高校の3年生乗った車はこれと同じ感じだった。僕のファーストカーはこれです。1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass S. 同じ色やけど僕のは黒ビニールソフトトップあった。V8の350 Rocketでいい音出したけど遅かったねん(^^)

Lunch cardio

2011-08-26T04:18:00.001+09:00

If the weather isn't crazy hot, I always walk around the factory after I eat lunch. This car shop is run by one guy who takes care of this Honda Integra Type R powered Exige and he also build the many one-off parts on the levin on the right.

天気暑過ぎじゃなかったら、昼の飯食べたら会社の工場を散歩で回ります。このショップはひとりのおっちゃんでこのホンダK型インテRエンジンと右のレビンのメインテをやってます。

☆「crazy」の意味は今回「めっちゃ」と近いなります。「すごい」の意味と近いにも使えます。

「すごい」
①「わっ！その人はcrazyやわ！100キロ以上のアームキャルやってる！」Woah! That guy is crazy! He is arm curling more than 100kilos!

「めっちゃ」
②「あそこの店のハンバーガーはcrazy美味しいで！」That place's hamburgers are crazy good!
②の方は多分若者の使い方かも知らないかな(^-^)/

Bike cardio 自転車でカーデイオ

2011-08-26T03:57:00.001+09:00

☆運動な話に「Cardio」言ったら、有酸素運動、エアロバイク、ウォーキングやランニングなどの意味となります☆

On the 22nd, all Golds Gym locations were closed so I wasn't able to go to the gym. Instead did my cardio by riding my bike for a hour and a half. At night I usually go walking for and hour but I feel that I became use to the walking routine so that is why I will tried my bike today.

About halfway through my ride, I came across this car parts aero maker and stopped in. I have gone down this street many times but this time I made sure to stop in. After talking with the owner and staff I took a parts catalog back with me. Their fd3s that was set up for gymkhana was badass!

22日はゴールドジムは全店休みだからジム行かれへんくて、自転車で1時間半にカーデイオしました。夕方に僕は1時間に散歩するけどだんだん慣れて来たから、今日はママチャリでカーデイオをチャレンジした。ハーフウェイぐらい時に、この車のアエアロパーツやアクセサリーメーカーに寄った。このショップの前に何回も通った事ありますけど今日ちゃんと入って見ました。オーナーとスタッフと喋たり会社パーツカタログをもらった。ジムカナセッティングのFd3sデモカーはやっばかった！

On my way back, I stopped through Koren station and then made it back home. I rode 12 kilos in about an hour and a half! Although the pace was slow, I had a good pump in my legs.
帰り道で香里園駅に寄ったら家に帰りました。1時間半に12キロぐらいに乗りました！ペースは遅くでも足の筋肉よくきいた！

Take it easy Sunday @ Strong Depo 適当で日曜日@ Strong Depo

2011-08-14T23:11:00.001+09:00

Yesterday, Mario Yoshikawa and I came up with a phrase that sounds the same in English and Japanese(=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=).

☆適当でいいで(Teki tou de ii de)
and
☆Take it easy

昨日、吉川マリオとオモロイなphrase一緒に見つけた、英語と日本語で意味はほぼ一緒ぐらい（＾∇＾）

Today I went to workout at Strong Company Yasuda san'sStrong Depo, which is a storage area with over at least 40 machines and free weights up to 150 lbs. It was badass as it was under the train tracks and had a hardcore garage gym feeling. Hayato-san also came up in his Turbo.
今日はSTRONG社の安田さんのSTRONG DEPOに運動しに行った。倉庫見たいな場所にマシンを40台以上、フリーウェイトを150パウンドまである所。Strong Depoは鉄道のした、ハードコアガレージジムと感じる所。HAYATOさんはポルシェターボでいらっしゃいました。

Later on I went with Yasuda san and Jet Yanagawa to the Strong Company office to hang out a bit and talk.

As money is a little tight, the rest of my day was spent on the roof getting dark(⌒▽⌒). Tomorrow is my payday...getting paid once a month is still hard to get used to two years into living in Japan!

その後は安田さんとJETさんとストロング社の事務所に行きました。そこで色な話を聞いたりしました。

お金きついから家帰ったら屋上で日焼けで過ごしました(⌒▽⌒)。明日給料日なのに、まだ日本に居るのが2年に立ったけど一ヶ月に給料を一回もらうのはやっぱまだなれてへん(笑)。

Tomorrow I will be at Nakanoshima with Ken san to do chest and back(*^◯^*) Later at night I will be out with Hitomi for dinner!

明日は賢さんと一緒に胸と背中をやる予定。夕食はひとみと！

My friend's farewell party 友達の送別会

2011-08-05T10:10:00.002+09:00

On Wednesday I went to the farewell party of two of my friends from work. I met Nobu and Taka at the company dorm where we all use to live. I went to Nobu's wedding and Taka introduced me to everyone by throwing me a welcoming party during my first week of work. We still laugh at his handwritten English-Japanese note he left on my door inviting me to the go to the welcoming party.

Good luck fellas, and thanks for all the good times.

水曜日に仕事友達を2人の送別会に行ってた。ノブとタカは寮に住んでた時に始めて出会った。ノブの結婚式に行ってたりタカは仕事の始め一週間に僕の歓迎会をしてくれてたりした。タカの歓迎会手書き招待は今までいい思い出に出します(⌒▽⌒)。

頑張れノブとタカ！いい思い出いっぱい作ってたね！ありがとう

By walking, by car and by bus. 歩いで、車でとバスで。

2011-08-02T21:58:00.002+09:00

Because I had an English lesson today in Umeda, I went to the Umeda Gold's Gym for my training. I worked out my back with bent over rowing in 6 sets at high reps and I also did 7 sets of lat pull downs. Between every set I went into the lat spread pose and kept the position for about 20 seconds and then continued with the next set with no rest. I sweated a lot because I didn't rest through the 7 sets. 今日は英語レッスンあったから久しぶりに梅田のゴールドジムにトレーニングしました。背中をベントオーバーローイングをハイレップセットを6つとラットプールダウンを7セット。毎セットの間に20秒ぐらいにラットスプレッドをホールドした。休憩してなかったから汗いっぱいかいてた！

After the English lesson I told my my students that I was going to walk back to Yodoyabashi. They were surprised and told me that it was too far. But whenever I go to Umeda I always walk back along Yodoyabashi and it takes usually about 20 minutes... How long would it take by car or bus??
英語レッスンが終わってから僕が「淀屋橋まで歩いで帰るよ」を言うたら、女の子達がビックリした！やっぱり「遠くない？」を答えた(^o^)。でも梅田から帰る時はいつも御堂筋道沿いを歩いで帰るので、20分ぐらいだいたいかかる。。車はどのぐらいか、バスではどのぐらいかな。。

On foot

By bus

And by car！ d(￣￣)

やっぱり歩いで帰るのがいいやな

それより、here are the girls from my lesson. They have boyfriends! One of the boyfriends is my good friend from the gym. He is the guy I talk cars alot with and went surfing to Tokushima together! 彼氏居てるよ！彼女の彼氏は僕のジムから仲がいい先輩( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ。彼とよく車話を喋たり、この前徳島にサーフィン連れてくれた友達！

Too much training? トレーニングやり過ぎ？

2011-07-30T10:20:00.001+09:00

Lately I noticed my grip on the handlebars was the same as my lat pulldowns and bench-press. This grip is bad for when you want to brake but feels good on the wrists.

最近、僕のハンドルバーの持ち方がラットプールダウンとベンチプレスの持ち方の同じになった！

それより、I cheated on my diet！

I just came back from taking pictures of my company's new billboard off of the highway downtown and on our way there I saw a lot of people in their weekend cars. This clean R31 skyline is on point with the SSR mesh. うちの会社最近出来た看板の写真をとりに行った。普通の土曜日にセコンドカーをよく見てた。このピカピカR31スカイラインはSSRメッシュをよくあうと思う、ナイスカー!

1am meet at McDonald JR Fukushima with Ken and Ko, 5am Tokushima beach point to see the sunrise. Sleep until 7am. Get beaten by big waves (didn't quite surf well) from 7-11. Eat really good chicken yakisoba, chicken okonomiyaki and grilled chicken. Get hammered by bigger waves (surfing) from 1-3pm. Start to head back from 4pm. Eat some good soft serve at the Awajishima PA. Home at 9pm. Sleep and dream about more chicken.

午前1時JR福島駅雨マクドで賢さんとコさん待ち合わせ。午前5時に徳島日の出見たら７時まで寝て。7時〜11時サーフィン。12時美味しいミンチ焼きそば、チキンお好み焼きとタマネギとチキンやつ食べた。1時〜3時までサーフィン。４時から帰り。淡路島PAでソフト。家9時に着いて10時から寝て昼のチキンを夢に見る。

今回サーフィンするより波とバトルした、めっちゃ疲れたわ！

Protein bar turned poo. Ken and Ko speak pretty English. The best was when they saw two big girls riding one bike. "TOO HEAVY!"

Beautiful beach, leaving these would be a little rough.

中之島ゴールドジムポットラックパーティ Potluck Party

2011-07-11T13:12:00.001+09:00

Yesterday was a chest and back day at the gym. With my back being my biggest weak point, I have been working a lot on lat pulldowns to get more size. While workingout I saw a lot of friends coming to the potluck party that was at the gym. 昨日は胸と背中DAY.背中は僕のweakpointので、ラットプールダウンでサイズアップするようによくやってる。ジムで友達いっぱい居った！皆は中之島ゴールドジムポットラックパーティに来た。

Here is the workout I did.
Chest and back routine
Today will be arms, hams, calves and stomach.今日は腕、ハム、カーフや腹筋。

*The DTP training I have been doing is hard on the body and I feel it should only be about 2 times a week and not for every exercise. 僕はやってるDTPトレーニングは体にめっちゃハードなのだから一周に2回ぐらいやったらいいと思います。その日のメニューからexerciseを一つ二つ選んで(例：Incline and Lat Pull down)DTPセットをやること。（変な日本語、すみませんず！）

Ise Kowareta Suimon Mae 伊勢　壊れた水門前　ROUND 2

2011-07-09T07:06:00.003+09:00

Tuesday and Wednesday I translated a 30 page PowerPoint of financial Japanese for my surfer coworker Shinya. He came up with the idea of taking me surfing on Friday to show a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. It worked!

火曜と水曜日の仕事は朝一から終わりまで財務関係の30ページPowerPointを通訳仕事をサーファー先輩シンヤからもらいました。ゴール見えるように、彼が「金曜日にサーフィン連れてあげるよ」と言ってくれた,良かったね！

Last time I rented a long board, this time I tried a short board. I could say that the short board had a feedback similar to a car with power steering and one without. The feedback in the short board was easily felt, the long board would send me a lot faster and smoother but the feedback was very dull.
But the longboard was with my first time and also the waves were different. I want to get back there already!

この前ロング借りたて、今回はショートした。ショートとロングの自分感じしたのちいがう事はパワーステ有りと無し車のフィードバックかな。ショートのフィードバックはquick、ロングはスピード出しやすいやスムーズでもフェッドバークよく分からなかった。今回の心配してたところはショートからのほうが分かりやすかった。でもこの前ははじめてやし、波もちがうやし。。まぁまた今度楽しんでます！

Heck yes I posing picture.

今は74キロ、8月14日大会に69キロになれないと。。

今日もDTPの足運動やります！
レッグプレスとエクステンションと腹筋を1時間頑張ったd(￣￣)

Today I also went with the DTP training for the legs. I did leg presses, extensions and worked on my stomach for an hour.

It is so humid here that the skin I have peeling off my arm from when I went surfing wont shed off! Usually in Chicago the stuff flakes off... Here it is like dried Elmers glue..

DTP training day 2

2011-07-07T00:05:00.001+09:00

今日のトレーニングはまたDTPのやりました。スーパーセットでインクラインベンチプレスとリバースグリップラットプールダウンしました。よーーーーくきいたなょ！（＾∇＾）このルーティンは45分ぐらいかかたけどインターバル短くして、パンプがよくききました！

インクラインのスタート重さは40パウンド、ラストは85パウンド。リバースラットは130-170パウンド。
明日は節電で休みあるから朝に足運動やろうかなと思ってる。日曜日は三重県の伊勢にサーフィンに行ってきます！今週末前に体重を71キロまで下げるか頑張る！

Today I also went with the DTP training with supersets including incline bench and reverse grip lat pulldowns. The reverse grip very good in the lats but put a good amount of strain in my biceps tendons.

The weights I went with for the incline ranged from 40lbs to 85lbs. The lat pull downs were 130lbs-170 lbs.

Tomorrow I will go hit legs and hit the sauna for a while and try to get to 71kilo before the weekend.
Friday I will go to Mie-ken again to go surfing.

Posted above is what I did on terms of my weights. I normally shoulder press about 38kg 3-5 times. I think next time I can go with a little heavier weight.
By keeping my intervals paced and within 30 seconds I got a good pump and felt a good burn.

Tomorrow I am debating to go to work some chest or rest the night.

DTP training

2011-07-04T18:31:00.002+09:00

Today I will hit the shoulders with a training technique called DTP, Dramatic Transformation Principle. It combines high reps and increasing weight during each set. I think my shoulders need to get bigger so I will do this workout I found on bodybuilding.com from trainer Kris Gethin. This is his routine on from his 12 week transformation diet, week 12 day 80.

Dramatic Transformation Principleと言うトレーニングで肩の運動をやってみたいと思います。最初から軽めウェイトで50レップして、2セット目はプラス4キロで40レップ、3セット目はまたプラス4キロと30レップして。。5セット目はできる重さを10レップします。

たまにやってるルーティンを変わった方がいいなぁ。トレーニングを面白くして行った方がいいでしょ（＾∇＾）

このルーティンはbodybuilding.com のKris Gethinの12週間transformation dietの12週間目の80日のルーティンです

Only the best for my lady. After the gym I went to the Mon Chouchou Dojima location to buy a bunch of sweets for the lady and her family. Now I'm headed back home on my favorite Watanabebashi train. If I don't meet her soon I'm going to eat the sweets!

I hit the leg extensions for about 40minutes today. Hopefully I will have some more lines in my legs when I drop some more weight.

TEAM GIN TONICS

Tachinomi means to stand and drink. It was my first time to go to a place like this but I always wanted to go. It is basically a a standing bar where you eat and drink for cheap because the restaurant is only a counter with a curtain that separates you from the outside.

Anyhow, we ended up at my friend's favorite piano bar and got merry with some gin tonics. They have been going to this bar for more than 15 years. Piano, great staff, strange Korean woman and great snacks and drinks. They only thing we did drink was gin tonics. It was the right choice! ☆Beefeater☆.　THANK YOU MIYAKE-SAN and SHINYA-SAN!!!!!! TGT! TEAM GIN TONICS!

No sleep (￣^￣)ゞ

2011-06-07T16:32:00.001+09:00

Saturday night was a rough one. I came home around 11pm from going out with my friends for dinner and was wiped out from a good workout at the gym. Before going to sleep I took two diet pills from BSN called Atrophex and immediately passed out. Not an hour later I was wide awake and buzzing like crazy. I had only taken these pills during breakfast and lunch but never at night..The caffeine ruined my sleep and I was awake watching Pirates of the Caribbean and looking at some future places to live hopefully in the Chicago area.

So before my ritual 2 hour leg workout I was on an hour of sleep and about two scoops of Super Pump from Gaspari Nutrition, a good boosting creatine. I kicked ass with the leg workout and squatted 400lb (180kg) on the smith machine. Afterwards I stumbled home and passed out for 3 hours until it was time to go to the Umeda Golds Gym posing practice. Posing went well and my body fat percentage is in the single digits now.

Yokohama business trip

This time around I'm on the road in Yokohama for a business trip at an exposition for automobile related technology. I'll be here from Monday until Saturday an I don't plan on missing a workout while I'm here! My hotel is right next to the Golds Gym Bashamichi. Too bad they have weights that only go up to 45lbs but it will do the job while on the road. Yokohama is really cool and has a Kobe feel to it. It is a really nice looking place to do some work for the week.

Tonight I am headed to Yokohama's Chinatown, which is said to be Japan's biggest. Plan to have some gyoza, nikuman and some others goodies. I'll be sure to take some pics!
Check out this amusement park next to the street!

5月16日～20日まで横浜に出張で行くんので横浜のゴールドジムに行って見てる！パシフィコって言う展示会センターで仕事やたり馬車道のゴールドジム行ってます。

USDM JAM 2011

2011-04-29T20:51:00.004+09:00

COLD and WINDY! I made it out to the USDM JAM for the second year in a row where last year was a good time and this time was no different...just different with windburn in stead of sunburn. Lots more Euro and trucks than the last year. The flush fad is still dominated by Hondas and other popular FR cars we have in the states. What I didn't see was many Imprezas or Evos in the show period .

The day started off at 5 leaving from my house and we met up with some friends in the Q45 and we cruised to the show approx. 2.5 hours away. This event is FREE for admission and costs about 80USD for entry and that gives you a shirt and some other small gifts as well. Not a bad deal eh!

Look here for some of the pictures I took from the event.

I tested out the new camera, Canon SX230 in change of my older Canon Kiss X3... It hung in there for what I used it for today.

さぶかったわ！今年のUSDM ジャムは僕の二年回目に行った事になった。今年のエントリーは去年よりユロー車とTRUCKは多かった。今年もホンダは多くって、ツライチなスタイル・トレンドをまだやってる。なぜランエボとインプレッサはあんまり出てないのか分からんけどもっと見たいな！また来年もっと見えるかなぁ？！

また来年楽しみっすぅ！このリンクに写真いっぱいあるのでご覧ください！

Day off

2011-04-19T21:49:00.001+09:00

Feeling the pain from Sunday's 2 hour leg workout, I realize I need to do legs more than just on Sunday. I took off yesterday, Monday in terms to rest the joints as I have been lifting heavier and also running before work. So freaking
ready to workout this evening. Chest and back today, tomorrow will be shoulders and light on the legs. From now I am going to work calves and abs into every day. Check out these dudes on jet skis through out downtown Osaka. I see them just about every Sunday morning when I am leaving the gym...so sick!

月曜日は一日休んだ(⌒▽⌒)今日は梅田のゴールドジムで久しぶりに会ってない友人会ったり胸と背中コースしました(*^^*)

2010-09-19T09:27:00.001+09:00

On my way to the gym to check my weight, chill a bit in the sauna and then head to the event. I'll be mixing my drinks with the family's infamous lucky spoon. With only one like it, my childhood mornings routinely included digging through the silverware drawer for the skinny handled spoon. If I could lay claim before my other siblings to make my day go 'lucky' and my cereal to taste better.

Here I am two decades later, using it to mix my drink before the event. (complements of Rob for overnighting a dose from Kyoto).

Hoping my weight is low. I'm one hungry SOB.

September 13： Monday of Drama

Boss yells at me all day about his misunderstanding of a report from my customer.

Bike chain breaks on the way to the girl's house.

Return bike to bike shop and walk to the trains station to go to the gym.

Notice wallet missing when arrive to the entrance.

Grab rental bike from bike shop and pace to girl's house in dark looking for the wallet.

Go the the station police box to find my wallet and its contents dispersed on a desk.

Police laughing at my condom. "American Size!"

Not a thing was missing and I had my wallet not 30 minutes after I dropped it at 8pm.

Called quits on the gym and went home.

The weekend was good and I went around with the girl.

Looking forward to the drive to Nagano in October.

I don't mess around when I go to Costco.

4 cases of water for the girl. We rode home vato style, bouncy as all hell on the bumpstops.

Tired of my iTunes lately and I am forgetting my English being over here just over a year, so I search some Chicago internet stations and came up with Fusion Chicago which is a merge of former stations Power and Pulse.

It brings me back driving off Lake Shore Drive and chilling at the lake with my people back home.

Here is the website http://fusionchicago.com

I think I have song off of Tiesto's new album Kaliedoscope coming up soon

一日楽しかった！

前のラップタイムは１５秒ちがう、やっぱりドライの日は速いね。

After one really fun day, I forgot to eat dinner..came home and went out for a beer.

My lap time was 15 seconds different from when I ran in the rain.

まだ第３は１２月、遠いけど楽しみ

Hiroshima was a trip, here is a small list of what happened.

Met a new friend Ikuko

Dodged a small typhoon

Went to Miyajima

Ate some good Anagomeshi, grilled eel over rice

Saw the Genbaku Dome from the car, it looks pretty dark especially in the typhoon winds!

Over ate okonomiyaki

Had a grilled oyster

The place has a definite different feel from Osaka.

Feel better Taeko!!!

I arrived in Hiroshima at 2:45 from a 6 hour ride from Osaka.

When I arrived I saw a lot of people lined over by the a hotel and two buses lined in front. None other than a lot of yellow and black Hanshin Tiger fans watching the players come out from the hotel.

After the players came out I had about 3 hours to kill before going out to meet a friend. I asked a girl for directions and she ended up being in the same situation I was in( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

She is from Kyoto, same as age as me, is a キャンギャル and wants to be a race queen.

She sent this picture of me and her we took at the hotel

Here is her blog: http://ameblo.jp/iko-k

A day late,

I drove second in our team of 5 drivers. By the time I started driving, the track temperature rose and 4th gear would pop out if I didn't keep my hand on it. This was kind of fun when going through the elevated s-turn, shift and hold on to 4th while setting up for the 2nd gear right hair pin.

The FEED 7 over took me coming into the first corner about halfway through my 45 mins of track time. I caught up as we went through and got to his 1/4 panel at the end of the first corner but he left me while exiting the next easy left.

I remembered all the times I saw this car in the BM motoring videos and touge battle showdowns, it was cool to get dusted by that 7. Neutrality in and out.
