People befriend me and we can talk weight lifty stuff, and stuff
Actually I just want to talk about whats going on with lifting. Well lifting in my world. It sometimes takes school to get my schedule correct, often when I come back for the summer I want to pack in as much fun with my friends as possible before it ends. Because of this my schedule gets quite hectic. Plus I have a hella lot more hobbies than just lifting. Like drawing, and painting, and soccer and so on, this itterupts my lifting schedule. Also cooking on your own takes a lot of your time and that is quite burdening if you have to do school work as well. What I am saying is life is never perfect, sometimes lifting has to take the backseat while you struggle to get other things done. Lifting is life, but its not all of your life.
On another note Im going back to school with Id say a good 300 lbs of weights, which will keep me entertained to say the least. Its quite hard going to an Art college when you are the only one who actually tries to maintain muscle. Very hard indeed. Artist tend to smoke alot, and drink alot. Boy let me tell ya I like to drink, which is why I have a hard time losing weight. For a while it was ok because I would drink once a week or so. But depending on your group you hang with It would vary. I plan on slowing down on drinking, or stick to liqour, it has less calories and gets you messed up alot faster. I guess many of you guys or ladies shun getting wasted, but I guess I can shun the people who take steroids to get bigger. So you may look at me at dismay for being a partier, but hey you cant have a party at a gym. Hell Ive known personell trainers who said their best workouts were when they were High.. Can you blame them? Just to get through a dull workout. Hell Arnolds claimed to have gotten high when lifting weights. Explaining that it got boring. I cant blame him. Because It does get boring. Hell It gets boring to me as well. I often impersonate Arnold when I lift weights to get a laugh out of the people surrounding me. Ive even drawn on foggy windows in the gym, doodling funny pictures of wales, or master shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Anything to make the experience more enjoyable. It helps to have a work out partner. Always help to have some kind of motivation. I can only hope some people read this and get some form of motivation out of it. If they do, then I will feel satisfied with writing this blog. Because lets face it. Most of the blogs talk about their GYM Experience… Wanna hear mine.
So I got into the gym, did bench, did incline bench, Looked at a hot lady in spandex, did decline bench, Looked at the hot lady again, Did dumbell flies, and looked at the hot lady again. Lets face it Im a guy, and can I help myself when I see a gorgeous girl keeping in shape and looking sexy doing it. I might be able to, but then I wouldnt have anything to talk about to my friends after the workout.
My blogs never really have much to say, outside or inside the lifting world, they just have some of my insight and how I feel about the sport. I read that interview with Frank Zane on this site, and I agree with him about how bodybuilding is a shell of what it once was. There is no aesthetics, its all about getting huge. I think the hobby should change its name to Muscle building, because thats really all the bodybuilders today are doing, building muscle. In the golden age of bodybuilding it was about creating the perfect body, which combined strength and grace. Frank Zane, Franco Colombu, And Arnold showed that. Now you have these muscle bound guys whos very range of movement is limited because muscle actually blocks the full range of motion on their skeletal frame. Lee Priest was a freak, the guy was 5′2 and looked like a orge with no fat. Thats cool and all, but it doesnt look natural. But who am I to judge. Im just saying that you are either a powerlifter or a bodybuilder, cant be both, and right now we have powerlifters with no fat on them. Which does not in my opinion fit the definition of a bodybuilder, which should be perfection through strength and graceful aesthetics. Like Agility and strength perfectly melded into this Greek body.. thats all I have for now. Leave a comment if you want to discuss this further…
