My wittle Uppertone video...

[Shaun]

Here's the video i made of the workout i put my c5/6 ass through daily (i try anyways) with the uppertone.It doesnt show all the exercises it does,just my routine,which i think i covers the muscles i needed to work on for my transfers.If im wrong,let me know...Enjoy...http://carecure.org/videos/ShaunUppertone.wmv


Thanks Jeff.

[christopher]

I got a FEVER!!! That's frikkin awesome!

[Jeff]

Yeah, I was totally jammin here in the lab. That's a great song for a workout video. Be a good dance tune at a club, too.

The problem is that now I really want an uppertone! Damn, that machine looks useful. Even us quads can really work out with one of those badboys.

Thanks, Shaun..... and oh yeah..... great video editing! :applaud:

[2jazzyjeff]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME SHAUN.. how many pieces is that machine? at the 1st part of the vid. and the last part, are they the same machine? how much room does it take up? how long do you workout? how much $? :applaud:

[Obieone]

Yes awesome Shaun http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/aktion/action-smiley-035.gif ... same questions as the others ... and if you don't mind .. could we have just alittle more cowbell please http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/huepfen/jumping-smiley-027.gif ..

Oh so cool, could this be saved for future reference with the transfer videos, please? Poor Jim, I see it in his future!

[KTM236]

That is very, very, very inspiring...I'm a T12 incomplete and after seeing that video I'm ashamed of myself. I need to see if my equipment budget will fund awsome equipment like you have (I doubt it will!). Keep up the great work!

[caton675@aol.com]

I seen your'e video , I liked it and I liked your'e music , cool :

[RehabRhino]

Man you should be working in marketing for Uppertone...........you just sold one to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mega: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

[Leif]

Great video and great exercise programs.

[Lewis]

Thanked Shaun, now I feel obligated to go work out!

Just right-click on the link (on a Mac control-click) and choose to download the file... viola!

Chris.

[McDuff]

HAH! I knew you were a biker at heart. Good scooter pic on the wall. Old Panhead? hard to tell in vid.

Damn dude, hardcore workout. Impressive as hell.

[michaelm]

dude, you're ripped.

[bob clark]

I got exhausted just watching it. Time for me to grab a beer, pour a shot and spark up another cigarette. :)

I'm kind of just kidding. Everyone should have an exercise routine and way to go Shaun.

Dontcha just hate those hanger-onners in a group who play the cowbell or tamborine? Especially when they get a lot of camera exposure. Hey, but if anyone here has a band and are in need of a cowbell or tamborine player feel free to PM me.

[Suzie Q]

:D You Rock Shaun !! (more cowbell please).:D I need you as a personal trainer. You for hire??

[Chris Chappell]

Nicely done Shaun.

[alex74]

OMG ! I feel like such a lazy ass now!

thanks shaun :)

[fuentejps]

awesome shauna. a little tip to isolate those shoulders better while doing delt raises 1.,) do one arm at a time 2.) do 3 sets w/ palm up as well, this really targets the rear delt......just a few things ive learned over the years

[betheny]

Well, yeah, the video is nicely done and Shaun rocks and all that happy crap. But didn't enyone else see the DUST BUNNIES in the corner?????????????

Just kidding, dust bunnies fear Shaun. :D

Awesome job.

[Lizbv]

Work that hard at school too and you'll be done in no time muscleman. Hope life is treating you well, it looks like your doing so well. :)

[Herco16]

Brother that machine is outstanding!!!!!! After that you're gonna have to give the CC ladies a double bicep pose!!

BTW, glad to see you kept yor hair short. Hair is for ugly people! LOL

[jayday9]

looks good shaun....ive never heard of an uppertone......i do mostly freeweights and bowflex....

how much weight do you do for curls, flies, shrugs, etc.?

and how are you holding on without being strapped in on your hands?

its made specifically for quads
check it out. great machine, takes some space though, like w/ mine i cant get to the bicep curl part, so i improvise and use the frt lat pull part to do sideway bicep curls

Shaun,

That video is frikken' awesone! This C5/C6 complete quad has been inspired. I also checked out your bed transfer video. Holy crap you're strong! You may have a tad more function than me, but your strength blows me out of the water. I think you've sold me on the Uppertone. :D

Chris.

[christopher]

Ya Shaun, how much did that thing cost in real (Can) $? Did your insurance pay?

[powerwheels]

truly unbelievable buddy. you're an ox. by the way what song is that?

[Apparelyzed]

Hey,

How come I didn't get a bit of blue elastic with my Uppertone?

I want a refund! :)

Great video, I'm off to see if I can do a few of those moves on my Uppertone, I'm a C5/6 complete also.

Regards

Simon.

[monkeygirl]

OMG ! I feel like such a lazy ass now!

thanks shaun :)

Yeah, I hear ya alex, thanks alot Shaun :nono:

Awesome anyways Shaun, Keeper up Duder! :D

PS: A friend of mind that lives by Shaun happened to see him through the window yesterday. I guess he was checking out his muscle tone. :D

[RehabRhino]

LOL :laughabv:

Would being able to do that classify one as incomplete?????????????

[Chris Chappell]

mg - roflmao, - you're awesome ;)

[poonsuzanne]

Shaun,

Great Video!!! Very inspirational for all male including my son.

It's interesting (funny to me) to see how men like to work at each and every muscle group of their bodies!

Suzanne

[jayday9]

Fuente....thanks for the link....

how much does it cost? i think the biggest benefit would be that i would be able to do it without anyone strapping me in, you know?

[Shaun]

MG that pic must have been taken right after i shaved it :D

Thanks the kind words guys,reading what others take away from it,is where i gain my motivation to do more..


My insurance paid for it so im not sure of the exact cost,something makes me think between 3500-4000cad.It takes up alot of space,i'll measure how much space im using and give you some numbers..

2jazzy,everything you see other than my Weider benchpress is the same machine.You can do benchpress on the uppertone as will,i just prefer the weider.I can squeeze a workout in in about an 1-1 1/2hrs,usually first thing in the morning after my morning roll..

Jayday,where it looks like my hands gripping it, there just sitting there you dont need any fingers or grip for anything..ive never paid attention to how much weight im lifting,i'll have to get back to you on that..

[Shaun]

SuzieQ..Personal trainer eh! Clothing optional? Ya know there was a study done about...uuuhh yaaaa...no there wasnt,thats just me..

Herco i been representin ugly since 19 70 and one hair or no hair.If i didnt post my grille around here there would be no balance..:D

Powerwheels that song would be Sho-Core's ''Right on'' from the album Evilution,pick it up man you'll love it..Vancouver boys.

Betheny i better not find any dust bunnies around here or i fear the ensuing fear i would set would leave me homeless..

Again thanks everyone..im gonna dive into my pizza,drink 3 beer,smoke a cigarette,flop on the couch and eat a bag of extra zesty dorritos now..:D

[fuentejps]

Fuente....thanks for the link....

its an incredible machine. i got mine when they were first released nearly 10 years ago...lasts for ever. i have snapped the cables but thats an easy fix

yo shauna i sent you a pm, read it biatch

[Shaun]

Ya ''Fuji'':D ..(i gotta thank Liz123 for that one)..i just read it.Thats just a piece of blue theraband,you can pick it up anywhere,different colors,different tensions..My Rotator cuffs have never been more happy..

That excersise is also a great for your boobies :D Although my buddy only saw your backside.

[fuentejps]

shaun, what length is that and color

[jayday9]

fuente, youve never used thera-bands?

shaun, you dont look at how much weight youre doing? :thinking: lol
so do you just count the amount of plates youre doing? you have to have some way of knowing how much to do for each excercise....

[joshstevens7]

awesome video. wow, you have some great equiptment. im jealous.....

[Shaun]

The Band is blue and kinda long so theres a big ass knot in it but the length would be your preference..


Jayday as funny as it sounds its true.I have 60pds aside,but the machine is geared that you slide the weights up and down the arm there set on,there are set in quarter increments from 1-l-l-l-2 up to 10...So when im actually working out (which i wasnt doing in the video,the weights down and im going through the motions,hence no grunting)...im curling 60pds at setting 9 1/2....my deltoid press is 60pds at 6 1/2..my lat pulls are 60pds at 7 3/4 and so on and i lost the sheet that came with it telling me what the weights are..So i really have no clue :)

Thanks Josh,i have a Saratoga also which i wanted to put in the vid but i lend it out to the newly injured guys to try out over the summer and take it back when it starts gettin to cold for my morning rolls.

[jayday9]

ok...so you are just going by memory, thats fine....i thought you were just throwing whatever weight you felt like each time without any kind of structure to it.....

[Shaun]

awesome shauna. a little tip to isolate those shoulders better while doing delt raises 1.,) do one arm at a time 2.) do 3 sets w/ palm up as well, this really targets the rear delt......just a few things ive learned over the years

So tried palms up and must be getting the technique wrong..picture please :D

The reason i do the rows one hand at a time is because i can pull more weight without worrying about my balance and because this best represents to me pulling open big heavy glass doors and such...

i do all exercises one arm at a time as well, except chest press.

here shaun heres the exercise from gpk site. i do mine faceing in, and one arm at a time.

[Apparelyzed]

"i wasnt doing in the video,the weights down and im going through the motions,hence no grunting"

NOW YOU TELL US !

I spent ages looking at your video, thinking "how the hell is he doing that so fast?"

I then went on my Uppertone and tried to do as you were with my weight settings, with no chance of being able to do the deltoid lifts.

I came off thinking I'd gone up a level!

Now I don't feel so bad!

Simon :)

[Shaun]

LMAO..Sorry Simon..but hey man,its all about proper technique anyways..and i tend to swear out loud and alot while im workin out :D

HA,thats the first time in quite awhile i looked at the gpk site,when did they get that little video thingy? thats pretty cool...

[Justin S]

Shaun,

Why do you use a seperate machine for chest presses, and what kind of machine is that (url?)?

[Shaun]

Hey Justin,

Its just a basic Weider home gym.I prefer the chest press on it over the Uppertone because im not just pushing out but im also pushing up,and my chest feels way more worked doing it this way.I dont mind the press on the Uppertone at all,i still do it from time to time but i can really feel the difference between the two.I'll see if i can find a url,i bought it at Wal-Mart.
