For anyone who likes to gamble on sports like I do but doesn’t have the funds needed to use real money, I introduce you to CentSports, a completely free gambling web site that starts you out with 10 cents and lets you bet on whatever games you want. Any time you lose all your money or drop below 10 cents, they will spot you another 10 cents. If you get lucky or good and up your bank account over $20, you can actually cash out for real money, the minimum cash out being $10. Be warned it can be somewhat of an addiction, but I say better addicted to gambling you can’t lose money on than the alternative.

Last summer I slaved away at Lowe’s from march through august, making a pretty good sum of money along the way, but also despising the job and more than anything the managers and the retail atmosphere. Helping customers isn’t bad at all, but when the higher-ups start barking out random directions the job goes south quickly. That is why this summer I have applied to a variety of different outdoor jobs. The job that started me on this search was whitewater rafting guide. I remembered a coworker who had done that on the weekends and I also read this article, and so I applied to a few different places for that. I also thought I would like any sort of outdoor adventure jobs such as leading people to live in the wilderness for short periods of time, but I soon realized I don’t have enough experience to do that yet. So I ended up applying for a few raft guide jobs, an assistant guide job,a laborer job, and a camp counselor job.

So for I have interviewed for the counselor job, but I am starting to think I won’t do that. The assistant adventure guide job was already taken, so now I’ve decided if I get a raft guide job or the laborer job I will take those, otherwise I will have no choice but to work at Lowe’s or a similar place for the summer.

After being sick a couple weeks ago I lost some weight, but I’m still somewhere in the 190 range. I’d like to get up over 200 before starting a cutting phase. I know some people don’t like the idea of cutting and bulking, but to me it makes the most sense. Gaining muscle while keeping the same amount or losing fat sounds great, but it’s slower and more difficult. I’m not going on a “see food” diet to gain weight, I’m still eating mostly paleo/primal like I have been, I’m just trying to work out and eat more to get my body to add muscle.

One problem I’ve run into is that the stronger I have gotten the more I’ve noticed how screwed up my body is from sports and who knows what. My right side muscles work completely differently than my left side and you can visibly see the imbalance. I tried physical therapy, and while I liked the guy, it was not something he had ever dealt with before and I could tell we were taking stabs in the dark and if I ever started to heal it would be luck. It’s gotten to the point where it annoys me constantly and I think I’m going to see the people at Egoscue. Although expensive, they sound like they know what the heck they’re talking about and if they can guide me down the right path then it’s worth it.

I’ve been reading a lot of T-Nation articles recently, and plan on trying something like this out as an off week to heavy weights and big eating.
