Some miscellaneous ramblings…..
Well, I am finishing up my last continuous meal for the day and about to call it a night. As I sit here I am thinking to myself that I know full well that it is the eating and diet that make THE biggest difference in the success in putting on muscle, but jeez it is truly a full time job! I thought of this earlier as I was approached in the gym by a young man that looked to be in his late teens /early 20’s. He walked over and had a question for me, but also wanted to comment on my physique. He was floored when I told him my age and that I probably had ties in my closet older than him 
. And with that he asked me about what my routine is like, workout, pondages, etc etc. I got back with him after I finished my workout (that was one of hte things I told him….focus and never let your workout be interrupted), and I told him that the single most important thing to do is research and to learn all he can about bodybuilding. And by research i don’t mean from just the muscle magazines. And secondly I told him that diet is the most important factor. In the gym you tear down muscle, and it is the recovery that is the key to building muscle. He seemed puzzled, and I told him "trust me, it is about diet as much as it is about the weights and rest.
Of course, this little exchange did make me feel good as I hoped that would help him and keep him motivated. And I saw a lot of myself in that young man. Thin, tall, lanky and looked like he really wanted to make a change and was tired of being the skinny guy.
So, with a great chest workout today and the compliment and advice, it was a pretty good day. Tomorrow will be shoulders….. I am working on bringing out more "width" to the appearance of the shoulders. Mind you, they are pretty above average, but I want those "bowling ball" type of shoulder caps. I saw someone in the gym with the largest shoulders I had ever seen, and that is what I have my mindset on. And yes, i’m still on the bulking routine and hopefully will see some more weight gaintowards the end of January. I have put the scale away and refuse to look at it until then..last reading was 252…so we’ll see!
Til later!
