Yo, last weekend was one hell of a weekend. NSBE (National Society of Black Engineers) had its National Conference in Orlando, Florida. It was great for a few reasons; the first being that I got to see my family. It's been a long time since I've seen Moms, my nephews, and brothers (Christmas was the last time). The second, most of my friends were there (Team Diesel was there with Finleys being well represented...lol). I consider myself the richest man in the world. My best friends are the reason why I say this. I might not have a lot of money at this point in my life; but I have people in my life who love me for me and money can't buy that. These people would give me the shirt off their back; but yet let me know that when I'm wrong. They have been there for me through many heartbreaks and celebrations. They will be apart of my foundation for my success.
So I'm writing this not only to thank all my friends, but to remind everybody who reads this to take a moment and just think about who is in your life. Thank all of those who love you for you and realize that they make you wealthy.
P.S. No Homo....lol

What's next?
Remember when you used to read comic books and they used to have all those invisible cars and such? Well guess what, they done did it! The British army has come up with an experimental way to project invisibility. Check it out:

Now let's put a spin on it. Imagine rollin down your favorite main highway in a droptop with that "real chameleon" paint job. Tombout nothing but a couple heads rollin down the road...
that would be ignant...or cool, depends which side of the line you're on.

the new new...
so i haven't posted in a while and i thought i would do a little catch up posting. first of here's why i haven't posted in a while...i just started a new job in a new city. So i've been in between places of work and getting situated. Now that I'm back in the swing of things I'll just go on and blog about the first thing on my mind.
I have a 1 hour commute to work every morning. I leave my house at 6:00 am and get to my job at about 7:15 am. So I listen to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All the other people I used to work with used to listen to NPR and stuff like that. Me I can't get into it, they wanna have all these heavily intellectual conversations about current issues. Not me, I just wanna listen to some good music, a little bit of comedy (Steve and Nephew Tommy) and then maojr current events that affect me.
Tuesday, Steve (Bully, there you go, one nigga named Steve...LOL) they was responding to the comments that Barack's pastor made in support of Obama's campaign. He kinda got off track, instead of tackling issues as to why people should support the Obama campaign he went off on a tangent talking about how our foreign relations are messed up. An interesting point that was later brought up on the show is that people in other countries tend to have a disliking to us because of our relations with their country.
These relations are a result of our country's foreign relations policies. But as citizens, we only vote for two things: candidates, and local issues. Yet day in and day out we deal with people and foreigners that talk shit about us because of the way our country be acting up.
Anyways, some CNN analyst was like "I don't know why he's bringing up all these dead issues." He was referring to Pastor Wright commenting on Vietnam, Hiroshima, and Iraq. A lady called in and made a very intelligent comment..."Dead to Who?" I thought that was funny cus she was referring to the CNN analyst trying to dismiss that issues like those above and racism and our use of the race card, is a dead issue.
So yeah, sorry this ain't quite a typical team diesel post. But with so much on the line in this election, I think we owe it to ourselves to atleast be aware of the issues going on.
My name is edot carter and I approve this message!

You gotta walk before you run
Yeah, a wise old man once said that. And that shit is the truth.....especially if you are a heave as hell ass nigga like myself (Don't worry, white people, y'all's heavy asses gotta walk before you run too).
Yeah man, so I'm starting to get ready to begin training for the Marathon that E-dot proposed about a month ago. He said this is gonna be his way to defeat his consistantly inconsistant ass. Yeah, dude aint said shit about the Marathon since either. Ol' non committing yellow ass.
Anyway, I'm heavy than a sumbitch. 260lbs. That's especially heavy for me to only be 5'9". Your boy is just plain out not built for the running thing. I have ran before...well, tried to get into a little running groove. Gotten up to a slow slow mile and a half a few times a week. It always sucked. Chin splints like no ones business, sore knees and legs and all that horrible stuff. Jumpin into the running was just rough on the body. And running Marathons is way more worser. So, this time around I am going to take my time and ease into the running. I be walking.
Yep, on the treadmill in the gym. That's right. Some people want to clown you for walking on the treadmill. Let a sumbitch come and try to clown the BULLY about shit and watch him get mushed.
But yeah, I am gonna take time, build up my muscles and connective tissues, get my leg bone density start to creep up before I just jump into the running thing. If my body is prepared for the runing it will be much easier for it to completely adapt to it and will make my running experience that much more enjoyable.
So, for all yall other heavy mofos...take it easy in the beginning then get into it.
And for everyone else that is gonna train to do the marathon with Team Diesel make sure you pace your trianing right.
Take care of your body. You only have one.

The Best Motivation of ALL
And that would be results.
I'm tombout improvements.
Once I start seeing them...then I know other people will start seeing them, which makes it all the better.
Yeah, your boy is starting to see noticeable increases in strength. When I first got back in the gym, back in mid January, I was only putting 225 on bench and then struuuugggled to get my 3x8. Hell, there were times when I wasn't even getting my 3x8. Yesterday I did all 3x8 (actually I got number 9 on my 3rd set by myself and then a light spot on number 10) with 265. This was my 3 or fourth time completely finishing my whole 3x8. My completions have been consecutive also. None of that "Oh, I'm strong today, but not so much for the rest of the week" type stuff. I'm gonna work my way up to sets o' 12, then I'm gonna up the weight and go back to sets o' 8. I'll prolly make a big jump too seeing how I think it will be quite a while before I can get 3x12 with 265. Watch me be all type of ballsy and go after 295. If I do that on a 3x8. Y'all niggas bet not try to tell me nothin'. (Well, except for Big Chris....I remember you telling me the Stories of how back when you and Big Joe used to lift together and you were doing 3x15 with 315)
My incline Dumbell game is going up to. I completed my 3x8 with 95 dumbells yesterday for the first time. I'm bringing that ol' brute strength back fa' shooooo.
Lung wise....that there is coming up too. Especially the mindset. My heartrate doesn't get as high, even with a higher intensity and my mental shit is getting right for the endurance. That little voice in my head that be like "Damn, nigga, I'm tired. I saaaaid I'm tired, nigga, stop running and shit!!" is starting to be replaced with a voice that says "Keep going...keep going...this is where the benefits come...ol' bith ass niggas would be stopping her, but them bitches aint gonna see the results that you will" "And I am even kinda starting to hear the voice that says " Fuck all them. Fuck all that. Its just you and you gotta win." When that last voice starts coming through....WHHHOOOOOOOOOO. Shit starts getting real scary off in the gym.
When I get in that zone......I take everything I see or do in the gym personally, get pissed PISSED and I use the adrenaline and extra EXTRA boost of testosterone to help me train insanely hard. I had a buddy laugh at me one time and tell me I was weird.
BULLY: Whatchu mean I'm weird
Friend: I have never met anyone like you. You are as strong as you want to be.
BULLY: What?
Friend: You might get stuck (completely fatigue) under some weight...and then you just get mad and get like 3 more reps
Yeah, its possible.
You just gotta get your mind right. Tap into that inner beast and let it go. Be off on that Diesel.

The Shark is in the Building
Allow me to re-introduce myself, my name is Hov!
What's really good Team Diesel?!
I heard the word 'marathon', so I figured it was time for me to get in the mix on this blog joint. Since ya'll are already taking care of the 'how to get swole' posts, I'll speak on endurance, mental toughness, and how to get extra cut up. So let's start with today's workout.
The word of the day is brick.
A brick is an endurance session consisting of cycling, followed by running. It basically feels like doing 6 sets of squats and/or leg extensions and then going for a really hard run. Today's brick was a bit different than what I've done in the past and I'm sure that I'll still feel it in the morning. Our coach had us perform the following: 20 minutes biking at race pace then 10 minutes of running, also at race pace, and then repeat twice. After an hour and a half of good ole' cardio, my legs felt like lead, but I'm sure it'll pay off in April when we head to Collegiate Nationals in Tuscaloosa. Woohoo!
Next on my plate is the Wacky 5K tommorow morning and then an easy week of training. Well and I guess I should also mention the stress of grad school. That's always on the menu.
