Getn ripped
I have just had an intensive self awareness session with a specialist. In this session we discussed my methods of workout at the gym, more to the point what it is that I am doing and for how long etc.
Now as I explained to him, I just do cardio. That means I do aerobic work to get my heart and blood pumping. A usual session for me involves 20 minutes on a rowing machine, 30-60 minutes on a bike, and 20 minutes on a cross trainer.
My goal is to simply get my level of fitness up, lose the extra don’t need them hanging around me anymore pounds, and be able to run, to really go for a run.
Just to throw a spanner into my works, my specialist has advised me to start pumping the weights, put my all into the weights and less into the cardio.
Why, I questioned him, would I want to do that?
So I can be ripped, he said. Have seriously defined muscles. He assures me that within a couple of months of pumping iron I will be a knockout, absolutely stunning.
As you well know, I don’t like to be beaten. If theres a challenge going, I’m in. I grab it by the balls.
As of today, I am pumping iron.

You’re just trying to out do me now aren’t you?!
Two posts in one day again… geeeeesh its almost like you don’t have a life!
I’m also jealous. I have no gym membership… it’s on the cards for when I get home in November too. I wanna get ripped!!! Competition?
Nah, it was my personal challenge to get the post count to 40 by today.
Is that a challenge I hear?? Whats the goal/prize?
We could do a weekly thing, compare how many hours we’ve done etc? Whoever does the most gym hours in one week gets…?
Well for me… if I get toned/ripped by next November I actually get to get married. If not I’ll probably be left at the alter in an ill-fitting monkey suit.
But we’ve gotta come up with some guidelines. I mean… “get ripped” is hardly a goal. We need to set some definable goal. Difficult with our frame size differences. Maybe a before-and-after-photo based reader judged competition?
Theres always the dreaded body mass index test! See who holds the least percentage of body fat.
Pics could be good..but no way am I takin my clothes off for it!
I say we have face off at the tough guy challenge next year, that will define a winner, who finishes first!
Ooooooo now THAT appeals.
Prize?
Well everyone who completes the tough guy challenge gets a beer.. Winner takes losers beer?
Loser must also remove winners shoes after race..
The Slink could be our mascot. Can I choose his clothes?
As the sole bill payer at this here site, I’m going to go with “hell yes”. Weren’t you into designing clothes n stuff at Lakes?
Yes, still do, but for little girls…have never dressed a dude before.
