ArmySoldier1’s BodyBlog

   Hey ya’ll, it seems that I am doing much better now! It is strange how the death of a fellow soldier affects you. Speaking of Soldiers, I want to take a moment and let ya’ll know that what the media feeds to you is not always the truth. See, they report all of the bad stuff that goes on over here. Whether is it a Soldier killing a "unarmed civilian" or whatever, the truth is we do great stuff here. We build schools, hire local nationals to work on our FOBs, treat their animals, provide health care and clothes…the list goes on and on. Sorry, this is probably not the place…I’ll stop.

   My motivation is back and my will to get ripped is back too. I still hate cardio ( I would like to pay someone to do it and just reap the benefits), but I do it anyway. Got to get rid of the fat and show off all of that muscle that I have busted my ass to get! I was watching this guy in the gym today while he worked out…he is a freakin’ monster. He was doing skull crushers and the gym was packed, so I asked him if I could work in with him. He said yes and I found out that he is all "show muscle". He couldn’t keep up with me and his arms had to be 2 inches bigger than mine. So I got to wondering about "show muscles versus "real muscles". I have decided that even thought it is great to look huge, I would rather be as strong as I look. Don’t get me wrong, I want to have big arms, chest, etc., but what is the point if it just show? Is this only my opinion? Should I be working out different in order to get the show muscles? What are your thoughts regarding this issue?

   I killed my traps today…barbell shrugs (4 sets of 15 with 315) and then DB shrugs (4 sets of 15, pausing at the top for 3-5 seconds, with 260). They were cashed after that, so I figured I would beat up my Tri’s. My tri’s are really pissing me off. I do mass exercises and isolation exercises but my right tri is much more defined than my left (I can complete my isolation exercises with both arms with the same weight), why is this the case? Well, I should get off and get some sleep…it is 2:20 am here.

Until later…Jay
