Do Men Actually Blog??

That was the question that came into my head when I first signed into this website. What am I doing here I thought? Am I going to be judged for creating this post alone? So... What did I do? What every human with basic internet skills would do. Googled it! This is what I came up with.



Do men doctors actually understand patients who are not men... Probably not


What Do People Actually Tweet About? Pointless Interactions


Biologically, do men actually NEED sex? YES


Then the closest to my initial question was "Why do people blog"


According to this article, Blogging can actually make you a happier person, blogging helps you feel more connected and increases your own sense of well-being. It can also allow you to express things in a public way yet that helps get things off your chest without having to do it directly.


What was the difference between this and Twitter or Facebook? Is there a point? Well I currently have no followers and this will be my first post. So, I thought to myself "I am kind of trendy, Enjoy physical fitness and like to eat, Maybe someone else wants to know these things? So... I have decided to give it two weeks to see if this is something I can do or not. To see if anybody cares... 




Day 1
My name is Corey James Leible. I am 26 and live in the humid climate that The Show Me State of Missouri has to offer. I am shy so blogging may help me get some thoughts off of my mind. It is sunday at  10:42am and I know that my gym opens at 11:00am. So while that thought is lingering in the back of my head I will make this quick. I enjoy a high intensity workout much like the one I am about to be doing. I call this THE LEG WORKOUT


             CIRCUIT A:
Immediately after your second set of the barbell squat (exercise 1), perform the jump squat for 60 seconds.

    1) Barbell squat, 2 sets of 5 reps (rest 60 sec. in between)
    2) Jump squat, as many as possible in 60 seconds (rest 60 sec.)
    3) Barbell squat, 1 set of 5 reps (no rest)
    4) Jump squat, as many as possible in 45 seconds
Rest 90 seconds and repeat the circuit once more.
*For the jump squat, simply squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor and jump as high as you can.

CIRCUIT B:
Immediately after your third set of the barbell calf raise (exercise 1), perform explosive body-weight calf raises.

    1) Barbell calf raise, 3 sets of 6 reps (rest 30 sec. between each)
    2) Explosive body-weight calf raise, as many as possible in 90 sec. (rest 60 sec.)
    3) Barbell calf raise, 1 set of 6 reps (no rest)
    4) Explosive body-weight calf raise, as many as possible in 30 sec. (rest 30 sec.)
    5) Barbell calf raise, 1 set of 6 reps
*For the barbell calf raise, rock back on your heels and then use the momentum to come up on your toes.


I have always been told I have chicken legs and at a mere 14" at the calf, they are! So I started this about a month ago, and it gets the job done!
