Working out


Recommended Posts

I AM GETTING NOTICED!!!!! All of my hard work slinging iron is paying off. Granted I'm doing it strictly for myself - I like the challenge and I feel really good. But it is nice to get compliments. I also feel like they are pretty sincere rather than an attempt to hit on me, since I'm mid-40s and thus past the "bait" age.

 

Saturday: Someone complimented me on my "really awesome delts"!

Tuesday: Sidney, who owns the gym where I work out near my home, came up and squeezed my upper arm: "Wow!" (Disclaimer - I was working arms so yes, they were pretty well pumped) He was used to seeing me just do craptons of cardio; we chatted and he said it's "nice to see you back in the weight area".

And today it was my traps. :D This was at the gym next door to work; I've only been going there for a couple of weeks so am a new face.

 

I really am working this hard. I'm finding the fun in it now; you can always change up a lifting routine to keep from getting really bored. (But I still hate bent-over 1-arm dumbbell rows for some reason. They work; I just hate them).

Mid 40's? You are right in the wheel house of "bait" age!

 

I wish I got noticed. Weights and exercise can't fix a jacked up face I guess. when I look in the mirror I do see the difference and the scale agrees with my assessment.

 

Ever do stability rows? I do them at the end of my back workout. They really add some work to the core which is why I like them. I generally do bent over rows with a barbell.

 

Anyway, keep up the good work!!

How do you mean "jacked up face"?

Hideous, ugly, grotesque, etc, etc...

Its debatable but I don't consider mine jacked up but still get no attention whatsoever anywhere. At this point even if a gay dude showed me some attention I would be flattered. Claude Rains syndrome I guess..... :huh:

I thought you were married mate?

33 years. That doesn't mean some positive attention isn't nice once in a while. You might not understand if your circumstances are different. You may get plenty of attention....

Well us pretty boy types always get attention... :16ton:

As plenty have told me; it's okay to gather an appetite when out, as long as you eat at home ;)

Just to clarify something if I could. Its not about the sex its the possibility that the fairer sex might see me in that way. The act itself at this point matters not......

I understand. By appetite I meant a lot of things of which one was attention. :)

I wonder when it will start to show?? Can only wait and see.... I'm guessing its different for everyone. :)

Just got in from a cycle....apart from the waist and leg bands on my cycle leggings, I have noticed that my cycle outfit isn't as snug to my body as it was...

 

And when I weighed myself just now I found I am now at 152.5 lb! :yay:

Sorry, my bad! :oops: It's an activity tracker. It counts steps, floors climbed, calories burned, "very active minutes" which is for jogging, brisk walking, or cycling, distance and monitors how restful your sleep was.

Had a good cycle this morning. Cycled up the coast to the next town and back again for a couple of hours. 16.87 miles according to my cycle app. The going is fairly flat but there's a couple of long slopes up... and then down on the way back. :)

I finally got some tunes I can listen to while walking and running. My old phone had around 20 albums my son had put on there I could choose from. When I switched my phone I have had nothing for a couple months now because technology wise I am a nit wit. I got Pandora on there yesterday and did a four mile walk/run with music today :dweez: . First song that came up was Red Barchetta. It made me start running needless to say...... :d13:

Pandora is about all I listen to anymore.

 

I joined the Y last week so I can work out on weekends and days when I don't work. Its a little more crowded than the gym where I work but there is plenty of eye candy. My back and shoulders are tore up good!! :gumby:
