Working out

So I have been working out a lot more recently. I have the urge to get back into lifting.

Now I wasn't like a competitive body builder or anything but I did lift and got kinda big, but mostly I went for endurance training.

This time I am going for mass.

Not like Mr Universe-can't-move-my-body kind, but basically I am going for lots of muscle so I can burn off the rest of the guilt/self-loathing fat that I built up over the years.

Basically I am going for my main muscle groups like chest, arms, shoulders, and legs. So I go for like 20 miles on the bike (cause it has been fucking raining too much around here) and then doing big weights on bench press and shoulder pulls. I have also been working on my torso (belly) by doing inclined situps.

Essentially I am just doing as much mass as I can do with 10 reps for 3 sets or as long as I can stand (so to speak) on the bike.

All the other muscles, the secondaries as I call them, will catch up as needed to compensate.

Plus I don't want to be top heavy like some people are, so doing the bike will help with keeping my legs big, since they already started big anyways.

Why am I talking about this? Cause I want to. Fuck off. :)

I am not going to change my routine much, just after work spend an hour in the gym a couple times a week, still go out dancing and biking on the weekend when the weather doesn't suck. Plus I took martial arts for a few years so I want to retain my flexibility, agility, and quickness.

Needless to say, I am having fun doing it as long as my iPod stays powered. :)

Wish me luck!

Hey, I got it for free, what do you want for nothin'?

I don't see the big deal with what consumer electronics you use or don't use.

Guess I don't care that much. :)
