A big ass in motion stays in motion.

All week I've been wanting to start lifting weights again and today I finally did. I had a little extra motivation, both of the good treadmills at Big Iron were being used so it was either lift or do the stairs. Yeah.

I didn't do anything too exciting. First I did 3 sets each of the vertical chest press, pec fly and dumbell front raises. Then I did 4 sets each of incline presses, tricep pushdowns and side raises.

I didn't plan on doing 4 sets. One of the owners of Big Iron, Rick, was hovering around while I was doing my workout and at one point he told me that he wanted to see my "big ass moving a little faster". Or something along those lines. I told him that it took a lot of energy to get my big ass moving. He then told me that I couldn't be very tired if I have the energy to talk back so ONE MORE SET!!

It's funny, a friend of mine said "this is why we go to Big Iron" and he is right. Had I gone to Gold's today, I might not have lifted weights. Even if I had, I certainly wouldn't have done an extra set (I might not have even done three) because nobody there would be hanging around the equipment looking for somebody to harass.

I feel good right now, but my warm fuzzies for Rick and Big Iron may be gone tomorrow when the delayed onset muscle soreness kicks in.

Rick's middle name is "DOMS". OR is it "BUTTSEX".

I forget.
