From Desk jockey to gym owner

I'm an electrical engineer (and now personal trainer) with big dreams of owning my own warehouse/athletic performance gym in Minneapolis, MN. I believe that anyone with any genetics can be transformed into an athlete. I love to make you laugh, but I hate hearing excuses. Work your ass off, get the results, have fun afterwards.

A Quote from Joe Hashey

You will all learn about Joe Hashey in an upcoming post, but this is something that needs to be documented in quick fashion.

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Who did that?

Continuing in the spirit of the “Fishy” post, I made this bean salsa a week after the fish. Again, what better way to show off than on video? So far I am 0 for whatever the female population of the world is. I think it’s working.

*sniff sniff* Something Smells Fishy

I was sittin’ around my really kick-ass 1 bedroom, shoebox of an apartment, and the urge to cook hit me like Terry Tate. BTW, I would GLADLY take a 50% pay decrease to have Terry Tate’s job. Seriously. Anyways, I decided I wanted some salmon. And then, another idea hit me, “I should film it!” Seemed kinda cheesy at first, but then I remembered that chics dig it. Needless to say, I followed through.

Where Results are Made

I’m feeling like a lazy bum so I’m not going to write a lot. In fact, I’m not even going to be humorous. I was at a wedding last night, went bar hopping in St. Paul after the reception, and didn’t go to sleep until 4:45 this morning. Even after my 3 hour nap and doing absolutely nothing today, I still don’t feel like a human being. The other good part about this entry is that I had this post in mind last weekend so most of the filming was already done. Talk about a piece of cake (litterally)! More on that at the end of the post.

Flakey Female Douchebag

Well, well, well. Looky whats we got here. A guest post! This was an unknown, involuntary guest post to be exact. Ya see, I was cruisin’ the ‘ol FB (Facebook) one day, and I noticed one of my friends (a real life friend at that) published a new note. This was no ordinary note either. Why? Cuz he used the word “douchebag” in the title. Immediately I new I had to read it. As I continued reading, he started to swear. Good lord, it was like I was reading literary genius…on FB nonetheless!!

Helllooooooo? Are you in there?

Before I even get into it, I know that this is going to be a spin-off/sequel/more in-depth post of my Kidz post and “You can’t be a pussy your whole life” quote. It is inspired by a discussion on another website and a TV show. If you haven’t guessed it by now, it’s going to be about the pussification of society, and yes, mostly men.

More from Mike T. Nelson

I am on my 6th cup of coffee right now and have vowed not to move until I’m good ‘n’ wired! Hence, the two quick updates this morning.

Anways, Mike wrote a quick entry on his website about our workout 2 weeks ago. He expands more on what we did, what he does, and filmed a detailed video of his gym. I highly recommed you check it out and subscribe to his site while you’re there. He actually puts out useful, scientific information…unlike me, who puts out useful, slapstick, humorous information.

Also, a quick direct response to one of the comments on the last article:

Lise, Mike filmed me doing the ankle exercises to help with your non-cankles and glutes. He will be posting them shortly.

Get a Gravatar!

Hey, you lazy a-holes! I REALLY appreciate all the comments I’ve been getting. I think it’s a great way to interact with people outside of Twitter and Facebook.

That being said, I think you should all sign up for a Gravatar so I can see that face your mother used to be so proud of. It’s fast, it’s easy, and it’s free. Kind of like me. Not only that, but if you post comments on other sites that use the Gravatar plug-in, it goes with you wherever you post. It’s pretty handy.

Here’s the link, now get to it!
