Why I love the Gym

I have just finished a 12 hour night shift and Im completely wired on coffee.

I have just finished my 6th carb and protein fueled meal an hour ago and my energy levels are rising again.

I stop in at home as I live down the road from work, grab my gym gear, and dump 3 fizzing baroccas in a glass of water, knock that back real fast.

I get a head rush and I start in the rising morning light to the gym.

I can feel my body beginning to buzz all over.

I walk in to the gym with its lights burning intensely bright.

There music is as crap as usual (classic hits) so I switch on my mp3, "Let the body's hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor."

I am energized and the squat rack looks like a bitch, after a good stretch I hit that, do what I need to do to get it out of the way then head off to better things.

The Gym mirrors throws me compliments from every angle and I know Im the biggest mutha Fuka in the place.

Today is bench and the bar feels great in my hands, the warm up weight is 80kg and 12 are squeezed out slowly and with all my breath, I wanna stretch out my ribcage and outer pecs for greater things.

Another 10 of 80, then 10 of 85, 5 of 90, 5 of 100, 3 of 110.

Im spent and I drop the weight to 80 for a good pump.

The berocca's have me sparking and my chest is aching.

I finish up with 80kg inclines and decline dumbell flyes.

My chest now sticks out past the tip of my nose and the aerobics girls are staring, makes me think back to just 2004 when people used to ask me if I was sick becos I was so emancipated.

People used to ask my missus if I was a cancer patient.

She loves the way I look now, and I love looking this way for her.

I still have petrol in the tank so I treat myself to some Lat pull downs wide grip and the entire stack lifts way in the air like its nothing, I do a very easy 15 and I remember when I couldnt even move half the weight.

I do more and more and give up counting, I dont care anymore.

The morning bodybuilders start to wonder in and I fit in nicely as I had always wanted to, they talk to me about things they think I understand and some even ask for advice. Me for advice??!!.

I just say "Mate Im just flooking it, you know more then I." and they laugh.

For me the local Gym has replaced the local Pub, and the desire to grow muscle has replaced the desire to get waisted.

To God I am eternally grateful for such an awesome gift.

The Berocca starts to settle and I am spent. I nod to the guys as I stumble to the car, at home waits my beautiful Maori princess, my mischievous Son a protein shake and a nice cup of Chamomile tea, Simpson's re-runs before bed.

This sums it up for me:

Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Bodybuilder caught in steroid scandel", "Bodybuilder Arrested after having roid rage"... Damn Bodybuilders. They're all alike. But did you, in your three- piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the bodybuilder? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a bodybuilder, enter my world... Mine is a world that begins with life... I'm bigger, healthier than most of the other people around me, this crap they teach at school to us bores me... Damn underachiever. They're all alike. I've been in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I dont care for it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..." Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike. I made a discovery today. I found a Gym. Wait a second, this is cool. It helps me shape into what I want. If it dosent work as i wish, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass.... Dam gym junkie All he does is pump iron. They're all alike. And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through my veins like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... an owsome pump is achieved. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all... Damn bodybuilder, Tying up the bench press again. They're all alike... You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for chicken... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless.

We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert. This is our world now... the world of muscle and the pump, the beauty of the bulk. We make use of our bodys already existing potential without paying to much for supplements as it could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals for what some of us choose to inject. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals.

Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they belive in. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. I am a bodybuilder, and this is my world. Some will fold underpressure,but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.

Why do the people who post on this forum, even bother?

so they can teach other people things and learn things themselves most probably... and to stir shit and have a laugh at things/people

Sorry I ment bother going to the gym.

Ok then, how about those who feel they hold some sort of superiority over others.

There is nothing wrong with being in an elite, I think most strive for such qualities.

But there is a lot wrong with elitism, especially when its being used to belittle others in order to try and be popular with a possible majority. (well at least in ones head anyway)

I personally try not to laugh at others, simply becos that's not my personality, it doesnt mean I dont think that person's a complete dingbat.

Instead I, and only if possible will try offer some constructive input.

But thats just my way.

Everyone is different, usually due to the way they were brought up.

Superior assertiveness can be a product of always being corrected by a parent or older sibling. Or years of being made feel that you are the best of the best even when you were not.

Most often it comes from those who were made feel invisible by there parents and ignored growing up.

Some elitism can be very helpful to a great many, but very few now how to utilise and apply it. These people going extremely far in life.

Lunch break over I gotta go back to work.
