Perdon….Gym Etiquette #25

dnsigma — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:06:56 +0000

Excuse me sir #1, please do not walk around the locker around as if you are looking for Waldo. Then as you can see, I just got out of the pool and YES I am sitting here looking at you because I think you are acting really suspicious. Also sir, please do not go and turn on the shower and then LEAVE THE LOCKER ROOM?!?!?!? WTH? R u weird or what?

Sir #2 & #3, I can see that you all are clearly fascinated with you bodies as you check yourselves in the mirror and each other in the locker room. But, excuse me I just got out of the shower and it is a little weird for you to stand behind me…since you have already been in here for about 10 minutes now putting on your clothes for the sauna??!!?!?!?(Shorts only). Can you all please do your business and move on? I think I am just being over paranoid.Now, I must agree that I maybe in the locker room and check myself out a little but checking out other people and being mesmerized by myself in the mirror for several minutes????Probably not! I guess I am not that enamored with myself? I dunno.

In other news, I haven’t ever been in the armed forces but my mother was an MP, my uncle fought in several wars and my good friend and his wife currently are in the army. To all of those,past and current, who have taken the time to protect the U.S., THANKS A MILLION!

Hitting the gym a day a week

No…this is not some new technique or revelation…it’s just a mark of my slow progress back into the gym.

Peek a boo…

dnsigma — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 04:44:25 +0000

Man, I have gotten so lazy that I didn’t even want to hit the gym today. Okay okay…so I have been out of the gym for about 2 weeks. To get a sense of what that feels like….imagine two months for most people and thats what it feels like.

Anyhow….life has happened alot over those two weeks especially my doc program.Today, I just eased back in the groove with some swimming…but I gotta see what tommorow will bring.

Positives

While "resting" my body actually showed more muscle development…I guess it finally had time to rest and rejuvenate? But, if you "rest" to long it will soon disappear back into oblivion…especially if your diet goes straight to cookies,chips,taco bell,captain d’s.burger kind, doritos, jolly ranchers, hot wings and the rest of the mess that I have been eating over these past two weeks.

Aight folks pray for me…I should be back soon.

A lesson for weightlifters…

Yesterday, I was talking with my sister about this pull over that our parents bought for me last christmas. She started talking about me and how small it was…and I was like I know…then she said…you all like it like that and I said…nnnoooooooo……yall(As in guys her age like that).

Maybe its just me…but I think the fashion poice should write people tickets who are my size 6′0 213 and they were anything below an XL shirt. I mean I wear XXL. For some reason, the tightness of shirts and polos, especially in the work environment is not kosher. Lesson, there is a time and place for everything and everywhere is not the time and place.

By George…I think I’m getting it…

Today, after doing a good chest workout I decided to take my weight and see if I am improving on my "Size me" program that I mentioned in my earlier blog….and the results? It’s working!!! Today, I weighed in at 213….a big jump from before. Much of this could be water, so I am going to do it again after I have sat in the sauna for a while. Anyhow, any progress is good progress.

Today, I got over myself….

dnsigma — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 08:23:16 +0000

So, people constantly going through cycles in life…sometimes your up and sometimes your down…there are moments of great confidence and then moments of great shyness. Then people fall into ruts, into categories where they are apathetic and unwilling, for one reason or another, to live up to their fullest potential…aannnndddd that is me.

So, I am trying to vow to do several things:

1. Realize that I actually am making good progress and I have a decent physique.

2. Gotta start realizing that bad nutrition and heavy weightlifting is sooo counterproductive.

3.Focus more on my assets than my negatives.

So, today I got over myself….and hopefully some of you will too. It’s a hard process…but somebody’s got to do it.
Today, while eating my chicken nuggets and french fries,I realized that I could do so much better. Sometimes…okay many times…I get on here a complain about my progress and how I am not where I need to be. Well, hell the nutritional facts on the back of the chicken nugget and french fry bag will tell me why I am not progressing!

Perdon…Gym Etiquette #24

Excuse me sirs, the sauna is meant for the enjoyment of everyone WITHOUT having to thinking about nasty funguses that may be prevalent because of misuse of the facility. Excuse me, but please don’t walk into the steam room with your boxers (Guy 1) and briefs(Guy 2). First, for your safety you should wear something more than that….and for our safety we would not like to have germs from your nuts that may have slipped through thin underwear. I mean really people?!?!?!?!

Perdon…Gym Etiquette #23

dnsigma — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:01:45 +0000

Excuse me sir, I know that you have a shirt on that says "Lambuth Football" and you are probably very interested in strength,size and power seeing your stature. However, can you please not, in stalking manner, walk over to where I am on every set…even though where you are working out at it on the other side of the gym, to see what I am doing. Oh and sir…it is not kosher for you to follow me back to the sauna, which is in the back of the gym away from everyone else! I make look small…but that won’t matter because you might not see me at all after I press your button from you making some aggressive move!

Maybe it’s because I have worked in the judicial arena that I am so cautious of my surroundings…sometimes it seems borderline paranoid. But, for the most part….people, as usual, in my gym just do some really awkward things!!!

I’m just saying…

dnsigma — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 06:14:37 +0000

Frustration seems to be abundant in this hobby called bodybuilding. I mean there are 80 million things to do and remember in order for someone to achieve "that physique". Well, they exponentially decreases if you have lots of money to buy many supplements. But, man over the past few months I have just been struggling on gaining weight and maintaining muscle. It seems as if I have been able to balance this out okay. But, man food has been getting the best of me…stress makes your body go into the conservation mode where just look terrible, and my time is becoming more and more limited….therfore not allowing me to hit the gym as much.

The real question is how much of this I am going to let hold me back? That is to be determined….knowing my past I’m better than that…I’m just saying…I know most of you all are and I’m trying to be like most of you all.

Happy lifting and stay motivated.

Thank God for progress

So, yesterday I uploaded some new pictures and can finally notice some progress from my beginnings this summer…whew!!! Thank God, for a minute I felt as if I was just spinning my wheels at the gym. Feeling much better about my progress…just hopefully I can maintain. For any and everyone who reads this blog….word of advice? Do all you can, within reasonable means, to stay motivated…best of luck to you.
