Fit for Freedom

I almost forgot what it was like to lift without pain.  Wow.  This is actually fun.  It appears the D-3 and other medicaments worked/are working their magic.  Soreness happens but it doesn’t feel like my arms are going to slpit open at the forearms when I am curling that 265 on the machine.  I am sure free weight it might be 150 but the number looks good. Shoulders and tris was a good combo workout and I have enhanced the muscle groups as I work them,  Like the shoulders…front, side and bent over DB side raises to really hit the shoulders throughout.  I just have to slow my brain down and let the tendons, ligaments and bones grow along with the muscle.  I have some peculiarities in my calves and biceps that I have noted for years.  I am guessing they have much more fast twitch fibers in them as they are constantly fasciculating.  It is bizarre.  I tell my kids they are "self buffing."  Anyone else ever have any thing like this?  I never feel it but can watch it. Anyway…life is good when my perception is good.

After reading Boston T. Party’s Boston’s Gun Bible it gave me new appreciation for staying fit.  Not only is he a guns enthusiast he is also a "guns" enthusiast.  Today though is the other side of the guns maybe the grip?  Shoulders and triceps.  Working harder is not necessarily wiser as I have come to find out.  Progress is slower as I age b and the rest times between workouts extends but the progress is still there.  I think as long as you stress the muscles appropriately they will grow.  If I leave my body alone and lift it grows.  If I focus on it, diet to the letter, etc the progress is slower.  It is like lifting but not letting my muscles know I am lifting.  Sort of do it and forget about it. So I woke up this morning stronger, trimmer and heavier than I have in weeks.  217 out of the bed and the stomach was actually more flat.  Maybe gravity?  Or it could be the side twists from tossing and turning alnight while sleeping next to someone with menopause.  Hot, Cold, and restless!  Yikes.  Oh, well, gym day, the bunnies and wannabes have gone for the summer.  The gym is mine, saith the lord…

So much fun and reward to be back at the gym. And a special blessing.  A bodybuilding woman who could easily be a pro.  So freaking awesome to look at.  I had a hard time keeping my eyes un-glued.  I am sure I was caught gawking more than once. But it was worth the risk and reward.  I have never seen such a goddess that up close and personal! But the chest workout did well.  No pain, just pleasure…

Anger is a great motivation if you step it down to aggressive determination.  Anger makes you sloppy because we are too much in the head and not enough in the body where we should be.  Maybe it’s immature but if it works to meet your goals and you can focus it and leave it in the gym great.  The ego can be picked up as you leave the gym and that’s great.  A positive image is fantastic but keep it to yourself.  The results will speak for themself. Otherwise you may carry that anger with you out of the gym and not be a good advocate for bodybuilding and humanity at large.
