Just my day
Sooooo…..
I got an invitation to meet some of the our schools top corporate partners. They range from CEO’s of multi-national corporations, accounting exectutives, recruiters, HR directors, and so forth. Sounds great right? Well I just happen to be scheduled to work during the time of the event (I only found out about it on Tuesday, the event was scheduled for Thursday, which is today.)
I put in a request to have this time off at work, but no one approved it. Well, they didn’t approve it until I was already at work! ARRGGGHHH!!! Man, do you know how upset I was! I guess the reason why I’m so upset is because I enjoy networking. At one point I was horrible at it. I was the guy sitting in the corner trying his hardest to be invisible. I was extremely shy. However, all that changed when I went to a conference in St. Louis, and had NO CHOICE but to network. Man I never knew how well I could converse with people I have never met. Turned out a few of those individuals were Presidents of organizations! I’m a news hog so I’m up on almost all of the current events from Congo, Zimbabwe, South Africa, China, Japan, England, Cuba, and of course, the good ol’ U.S. of A.
Well, for a bodybuilding update…
I’ve been in the gym consistenly this week, and have started implenting the heavier weight and less reps routine. So far nothing to noticeable, but I do see slight improvements. I did a groin workout on Monday when I worked my legs, and on Wednesday could not walk upright. Not that it hurt, but that the area was EXTREMELY sore. I realized that I was hunched over and walking in a deformed manner. I had to actually use ICY HOT it got so bad. BTW, that was one of the most painful and least pleasurable times of my life. Lets just say that area touches another sensitive area and the HOT kicked in and………:(
I’ve noticed that my strength has increased overall when it comes to lifting, which I guess is good. I also lost 3 more ilbs but kept my size up (decreased fat?). Also, the veins are starting to be more noticeable in my lower abs(yeppie!). Guess that’s what comes from an ultra clean diet.
Just a note? Anyone got any good calf muscle workouts? I’m trying to to get them bigger without running track again. Any advice is welcomed.

Man, we’re all after big calves. LMAO, check out one of the calf workouts on t-nation.com. You might find something you like.
What the hell did you do for a groin workout? I’ve never even heard of one of those aside from, well, sex.
At any rate, man … networking is really like that. Me being a shy introverted person, sometimes it amazes me that when I’m in my element, my network really builds up and although I’m usually exhausted afterwards, the contacts are endless.
He he, congratulations on the getting leaner. Just keep at it.
