I think it's time to move on from Jovon. Looks like the Bombers may be thinking the same: http://www.goerie.com/article/20140207/SPORTS0509/302079940/John-Dudley%3A-Johnson-set-for-camp-then-free-agency

He's unsure how serious the Blue Bombers are about bringing him back despite his being named a CFL East All-Star defensive back four times and winning the league's most outstanding defensive player award in 2011.

After picking off 22 passes over his first four seasons with Winnipeg, Johnson had only one interception in each of the past two seasons. He said that's created a misconception that, at age 30, his game has slipped.

"I think a lot of people determine how good a season you have by the number of interceptions," Johnson said. "But that's only one part of it. I had 62 tackles last season, which is the second most I ever had. And I played about half the season at safety, which changes a lot of things."

Johnson also forced one fumble and recovered two, one of which he returned 48 yards for a touchdown.

"I have plenty of football left," said Johnson, who spent one season with the Steelers in 2006 but turned down subsequent reserve/futures contract offers from the Dolphins, Jaguars and Bengals because he felt he deserved at least some guaranteed money. "I haven't really thought much about it yet, but I know I'll play somewhere in 2014."

I workout with a trainer 3 days a week. (M-W-F)  No electronics as clearly the communication factor comes into play.  On Tues, Thurs, and Saturday, I do 1/2 hour of cardio and 15 min of stretching.   I've thought about taking music for the cardio sessions, but I agree with 17to85 that it's a great time to clear my head and think issues through. 

 

It doesn't bother me that people listen to music when working out, but it is a pain when you want to get on a piece of equipment and someone is sitting there texting away and not really using the equipment.

Kudos to you for hiring help. Sounds like a solid plan you're following. 

If you're working with someone - obviously no phone.  But I use mine for music (no ipod, just use grooveshark...).  Otherwise, I think I would go insane.  I too don't really understand people who text though.  

 

And wait, dudes really blow dry their nuts...?  Gross... 

At the gym I went to in Winnipeg before we left, they had a sign by the hair dryers that said, "Please use for intended purposes". They also had a sign by the couches that said, "Please do not sit naked on the couches". True story. 

I haven't worked on Cardio (exclusively) for over a year.   Lift heavy 4 days a week - followed up with a MetCon.  Oly once a week.  When I'm lifting alone, I like to have music - part of a group or at Oly - I want to hear the cues and the coaching, I want to be more fundamentally sound.

Coaching is everything with Olympic lifting. A cable biceps curl? Not so much.

Other than that, how did you enjoy your time at the Wellness Centre on Leila?

That's all bro-science. ;-)

If you're not doing bicep curls in the squat rack you're wasting your time

My old gym in Stonewall had a note in the women's saying we couldn't let the guys use the bath mats because of the horrible things they were doing to them.  Makes me really wonder what they were doing to them...

Back on topic, Jovon signed in Ottawa

LOL that's just great.

Am i the only one who thinks Ottawa is going to be completely terrible even for an expansion team?

Good for JJ ... He and Burris do get to play together after all

Can't wait to see Nick Mooere burn Jovon Johnson.

I think they will be better then the 2013 Blue Bombers

Can we talk about working out again?  Seems more important...

Ugh. I always laugh how (some) science is validating stuff guys were doing in the gym 50 years ago.

 

We need more of it in the diet side though. Some nonsense out there.

Shocker, right? Lol.

Blow drying da nuts seems pretty time consuming.  Is it really worth the effort? 

 

Just wanna know before I invest my precious time.

I also used to be a member there, and still like that gym more than even my current one. But as weird as those signs were, they were very, very, very necessary. Especially the couch one. And especially when the couch wasn't a leather one yet. Yikes.
