Awesome Workout - and why I really want all this muscle...

Allissa just kicked my ass.

10 minute warmup on eliptical, squats - 2 sets of 12 at 60 and then a set to FAILURE at 50 I think. Then Bench Press - last set to failure again, and on it went... the only things we didn't try to fail on were walking lunges, tho by the end of the third set I was seriously shaking and burning and the cable leg extension move which I only did with 10lbs on the cable but could really feel in my ass. Lots of abs, oblique crunches, bicycles, plank... I was dripping sweat everywhere and apologizing profusely for it, but she just laughed at me. Alissa also thinks my gloves are sharp and that it was a very good idea for me to get them. I feel like a little less of a dork about them now... maybe it will completely pass one of these days.

Oh... and the muscle? Someone asked me today why I wanted to keep building muscle and why didn't I just "tone up" and I looked at 'em square in the eye and said, "I want enough muscle that I can eat anything I want and not give a rats ass because I know it will get burned up by my muscles and not just caked onto my ass. Why the hell else would I want so much muscle?" HAHAHA... he LAUGHED his freakin' ass off... I think at one point he even bent over and might have almost dropped to one knee he was laughing so hard. Oh well... it's pretty much the truth. I mean, sure I want to look HOT, and I want to be strong and be able to do lots of cool stuff... but I love to eat. I love to eat sugar and chocolate and pasta and bloody red meat and stuff cooked in butter and baked goods and sushi and just about anything one could put in front of my face that smells or tastes yummy. I love it... and the more muscle I have, the more I can eat without having horrible layers of FAT building up on my body. When I get to the point that I can consume 4000 calories a day and see no ill effects from it, then I'll know I've got enough muscle... will that day ever come? HA! I highly doubt it... but it's good to have a goal!

:D
