Thank God!!!!!!

[Jarrod 22]

What a year it's been! I am so thankful to God for a great year in business. I am also greatful to my wife, Namrata, and daughter, Jaimi. I would also like to thank TGS and all of the people here who contributed to my successful year. My employees deserve a public thank you too!!!

I know I haven't posted in a while. I have been very busy working on my basement. Well, it's 90% finished now. I just wanted to share a few pics with you all.

This is my home gym, my favorite room in the house now!!

And some more

And our almost finished home theatre

Hey Jarrod aren't those pictures from the local gym? And how do you find time to work out? Good job.

[Jarrod 22]

Thanks Paul. I get up with my daughter every morning at 6 30. After she gets on the bus, I work out. That hour and a half every morning is like therapy to me. My recording studio is the next project.

[Paul Kassander 26]

I gotto get off my fat duff and do the same I have really gotten out of shape. Once I got out of the army I sort of got lazy.

[PressurePros 249]

Ahhhh the fruits of success. Nice looking gear Jarrod.

Jarrod, good to see ya!! That's awesome!! Once I get in a little better shape next summer, I'll be issueing a formal challenge for a youtube BENCH-OFF with Russ S, Jeff Robinson, and I guess you'll now have to be in (obviously, the weight will be 225 or 315, LOL, I cannot afford to get hurt, literally:)) It sucks being in bad shape. Again, nice crib!! And lest anyone forget how rich Jarrod is, he also built a deck and landscaped this summer!! Someone's makin' some paper!!:) Good to see you bud,

[PressurePros 249]

I dunno Fife.. with those shoulders we better start you off at 135. I got 405 up for a single in my heyday (little help from Vitamin S). I think 225 would do me in now. Sad.

[JFife 14]

Jeff Robinson said the NFL combine record for 225 was (i think) 58 reps. That's nuts. LOL, yeah, vitamin S will just about double your output.

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

Great seeing you Jarrod!

You have been missed!

[PressurePros 249]

It won't really double your output by any stretch unless you are benching 135. I was doing 365 naturally for a rep and a half. Did a 4 week cycle of Deca and cyp and gained about 14 lbs and added maybe 50 lbs to my bench and 90 to my squat. I'll have to scan some old pics. 5'7 215 lbs with a 32" waist.

[JFife 14]

....Make it a pic from around 93', strutting a small waist with your jean legs tight-rolled. Fishnet?? We wouldn't be so lucky:)

[Jarrod 22]

Thanx for the replies.

The gym is the Hoist V2. That thing kicks my butt every day. I tried a lot of home gyms and this one was an easy choice for me. To give you an idea about the resistance, with free weights, I would bench 225 lbs 10 - 14 times for 4 sets. On the V2, 100 lbs! I guess being humbled by this hunk of steel is a good thing.

Beth, thanx! It's nice to be missed! I wasn't planning to be away so long, I was so busy that I lost track of time. The other thing is that my wife's parents have been staying with us since late June. My computer is in their bedroom. They will be here until December. I know, I know - lots of cold showers!!!

Probably more like do rag, *** bag and those hideous multi colored baggy pants.. and of course the string tank with the narrow cut back so your lats look bigger.

[GymRat 14]

Great looking gym, and glad to see you back Jarrod.

[Jarrod 22]

Thank you!

[Beth n Rod 1,279]

What do you have in mind for the recording studio? Previous rocker here :bandplay:

Rod!~

[Thad 135]

Current rocker here.

[Deck Guy 14]

Let me guess...something like THIS!!!

Wait...I've got it...your Rap name is now...Furious J!

[Jarrod 22]

I actually already bought the equipment. I just have to make the 3rd bedroom in to a studio. The studio is a Zoom MRS802 8 track digital recorder with a built in cd burner and fantom for my condenser mic. Me and my daughter are recording a song with it right now and are almost done. We are going to do a 4-5 song ep. She has a great voice. I already took a pic of her for the cd cover.

[Jarrod 22]

Here it is

[Jarrod 22]

I'm gonna erase the trees later.

[Jarrod 22]

Rod, do you have any recordings from your big hair days?

[Jarrod 22]

Larry, how did you get that pic of me?

[Deck Guy 14]

You can even wear the suit when you're pressure washing...very smart indeed!
