First workout back…
Went through a bit of a tough period there for the last two weeks. First, I had a few too many cheat days and went through some pretty severe detox. Then when I ate the high meat, I Really started detoxing. I don’t know if it was just coincidence or what, but that was when I really started coughing up stuff. I pretty much don’t ever train when I am not 100% or real close, so I missed about a week and a half there. Had my first workout the other day, did some legs. Then yesterday I helped my little brother move for about 8 hours which has left me with way worse soreness than the leg workout did. Today, I did some back, bis, and forearms. I never trained forearms much before, but I have to tell you how much I enjoy it now. Same with midsection. All the little nuance muscle groups are so much more enjoyable now. Funny that I consider midsection a nuance muscle group, but for a guy that only carried about getting huge and seeing my chest, back, and thighs grow, it really was! I really get a kick out of it.
I have to admit, I have been experiencing a renewed sense of enjoyment out of bodybuilding lately. It doesn’t feel like it once did, but I don’t think that was healthy anyway. I might just be starting to develop a kind of healthy desire to bodybuild again. You might think this is funny, but a big worry of mine is having my head look too small for my body. I don’t have a particularly small head, but I think people don’t quite realize how fast this happens! This phenomenon is rampant in the bodybuilding community and it must be adressed. I am growing a beard right to combat it. I think even the average lifter often looks like his head is too small for his body. Granted, it does have a lot to do with the fact that so many people have shaved heads or very short haircuts these days. Well no more! Those days are as good as gone for me. Good as gone baby, good as gone. Goodbye GQ Paul. Hello Viking.
