Ides of Fall
Well, it has happened again. The boys and girls of the university have invaded the gym like the Huns with all their scoping, bad techniques and what not. It is hard to encourage them as they "know everything." There are the true lifters though, put their head down, pump iron and go home after shooting the breeze with fellow leviathans. That group also consists of me and other "faculty" lifters who continue on in this rite of fall but ours is the rite of life-lifting for health, appearance and strength in the long term. My recent move validated all my time at the gym. Lifting that couch was a breeze! But this fall is different, knowing that things slow down with the cadence of decreasing light I am increasing my protein intake and creatine. It should be a good packing on year. I have about 18 months to reach my weight goal while clean bulking-but it is just everyday clean eating, heavy on the protein. Although I did falter and murdered an entire package of creamhorns! Such is the temptation of the flesh. p.s. Beware of egg protein powder. It will produce more sulphur dioxide emssions in the lower parts than you may care to deal with….
