Thanks! They do look great! I'm not looking for 'cargo' pockets though and I want back pockets - I wonder if they customize it. I'll check it out - thanks again!

I'm in the market for a black leather kilt.

I like the look of the leather Utilikilt (with the adjustable "sidewinder" design) but am open to other high quality kilts (i.e. not looking for a $30...

So far, I'm not a huge fan and I miss the old look, but I can be slow to adjust to change sometimes... Some issues/thoughts:

1. The white background makes it a bit blinding/harder (for me...

Have you heard of Stronglifts? You doing Deads made me think of it...

It's a great site if you want to do a 5x5 but it's even better for 'showing' and 'telling' how to do certain lifts (not that...

OH yes... I know Russian Twists well! Try it sitting on the floor with your legs in the air (so your body's a wide V") and use a medicine ball and do the twists!

#3 - your version sounds...

Got this from a friend of mine:

1. Figure-8s:
take a plate if it's got handles or some good way to grip it or a medicine ball. Do figure-8s between your legs (like you would with basketball)....

Those crazy Hungarians (figures I'm 1/4 Hungarian)! But it looks like it's a continuous movement so I'll switch to that - it makes sense. I'm doing it as partly core and partly shoulder work.
...

So Alan, inspired by your postings, I've decided to incorporate the DB swings and DB snatches into my new workout... pretty interesting.

I do 1 day fullbody workout and then do a 3 day/split... so...

Beautiful! It's making my jones for my tweed kilt twice as bad! :)

I'd try Wm Glen & Son http://www.wmglenusa.com/store/mm5/
They're not that far from the Powell Bart (300 Sutter). Might be worth checking out. They're pretty nice and they've got the Whiskey Shop...

Oh that sucks! Can you do the Leg Curl and Leg Extension machines? or just go really light on squats? Or one of those sleds? I find split squats are great (well really they suck in a good way) and...

wow. i don't think my 110 split squats will take me far....

Paul - great pics! and am a wee bit jealous you got to make a snowman! Hope you had a Merry Christmas and an absolutely beautiful kilt! You truly scored on that one!

Best,
Noah

Wonderful pictures! Thanks so much for sharing - looks like you and your family had a great Christmas :) And that tree!? It look huge!

Best,
Noah

Beautiful! There's something about the desert and snow with a blue-blue sky that's inspiring! Thanks for the pic - it's raining cats and dogs here, washing away the dirty snow... (ie not so...

My flight from CA to NJ has been delayed to Monday because of all this snow, but it means I get to see snow and I haven't done that in a few years. At least a real good snow! I plan on packing my...

Awesome pictures!

Great pics! And so jealous that the mountains are so close! (and you have snow!)

I'm guessing there's a chance they'll show up in the store in San Francisco... perhaps I'll take a look - kilted, of course. :)

Thanks! it seemed oddly appropriate for Wicked! and the flying monkeys (besides the fact I rock climb)... Cheers!

I scored a Mackenzie kilt off ebay this summer - it's pretty heavy - and old. It's one of my favorite kilts to wear around actually.

Some recent adventures here:

Adventure #1
A quick weekend away, I was kilted most of the weekend and got loads of positive comments and a kilt check. Here I am throwing rocks across the Russian...

Wow! And I thought putting my mom's hair gel on the dog and giving her a mohawk was bad when I was a kid... this just takes it to a new level... :)

I have to admit - I liked this look a lot and stole it last night for my night out with some friends at Wicked! Ok, ok... (I had a Maclean Modern kilt instead but you know - it was the same idea) -...

Thanks for sharing the great pictures! I really do love the boxpleat....:pith:
