Some days I have no idea what I’m going to discuss in my
blog, like today. I got up, on time I might add, and jogged the
neighborhood. It was really dark, as in
no moon, and in several places I just followed the street light reflecting off
the pavement.
After that there really wasn’t much to discuss. Work was, well work. I felt good all day, although I could still
feel the previous workouts from time to time in my stomach muscles. Other than
that I had nothing, no gripes and no complaints.
After work I ran by the grocery store to pick up some
salad supplies to go with my steak for dinner and low and behold there he
was. My topic was staring me right in my
face as he loaded an arm full of Red Bulls into his grocery cart: The Amateur
Body Builder.
They are reason number 584 that I don’t like going to the
gym. You know these guys well. You may have seen them out in public even if
you have never been to a gym. Let me
describe their species for you.
A massive upper body physique supported on two tooth pick
legs. In the gym these are they guys
wearing the tank tops to show off their large upper torsos but beyond their
waste they haven’t put in the time needed to build a corresponding frame. To put it simply they look like freaks of
nature.
They have spent hours pushing plates to have an
impressive upper body only to look like a joke on their lower. I don’t understand not wanting to do a squat
or leg press or something. The last gym
I belonged to before the one I am currently a member there one of these amateur
body builders that would exercise in jeans and Doc Martins. I wish with every
fiber of my being that I was joking but it is true. He would do set after set of bench presses
but I never saw him do anything else.
What a waste of time. To me these guys just look weird but I bet they are really good at arm wrestling.
Anyway, that is all I have for today. Nothing exciting happened
that would be really notable. I was
flipping though some of the exercise DVDs I have and one of them, which has
never been opened of course, compliments the exercise ball I have. I set it to the side for further
consideration but I still have not opened it.
I have been thinking I need to do more “core” work after all I’m heavy so
it has to be like lifting weights.
