You gonna make it out to Hoover Dam/Grand Canyon? Hoover is about a 45 minute drive from LV. It's a great place to spend the day, and then be back in town to live it up that night.

No that interested in checking out Hoover dam. Vegas is crazy and it has been awesome so far. Golds was definitely one of the things I wanted to hit up. Wish I could get out to Venice beach. Jay cutler and a few others have lifted at the one I lifted at today.

I've done Vegas so many times, my favorite is to stay 15 minutes west of the strip at Lake Las Vegas. It's so chill, and you'll still easily get your fill of the strip.

Hey man, to each his own. I'd prefer to check out one of the 7 engineering marvels of the modern world over a gym, but it's your vacation. :)

Everybody loves the Grand Canyon, though!

Broke my left thumb and tore two ligaments in my left hand about 6 weeks ago. Haven't been able to lift anything since the injury. Very frustrating. I've lost nearly 25 pounds since reporting for camp in early August. Looking forward to getting healthy and being able to hit the weights again.

Yeah it has been way too quiet in this thread. Trying to get over a little lower back issues, I have had to take it easy on legs the past week.

I've been hitting it hard again. Making progress again. Enjoying good food and the occasional beer again. I'm not gonna worry about cutting until I start prepping for the summer. I was debating training for the Knoxville half marathon in April but I chickened out.

I've been off PreWorkouts for a bit lately. I started back taking them on leg day, I need the added boost. I loved Jack3d, but the DMAA put me into a 4 hour coma. Just gave up on it.

Jack3d 3D micro is awesome though! No creatine. No beta alanine. I like this because I take my own beta alanine (carnosyn) and creatine (krealkalyn). And absolutely no crash. Plus, the stuff tastes like koolaid!

I highly recommend!
