SWOLLEN
Have you ever had such an incredible workout where your arms were SO SWOLLEN you couldn't even reach back and scratch the back of your head? This happened to me this morning! I felt like I had balloons for arms. I struggled to take off my tight sweaty Old Navy shirt because my arms would not bend enough for me to pull it off of me. I was like WHAT THE FUCK!? It was pretty cool to think that I worked my arms so hard that I rendered them useless. In the shower, I could not wash the back of my neck! What was I going to do??? I was going to have to call one of those big muscle boys in the locker room to jump in my shower, get behind me, and wash my neck! Fortunately for my boyfriend, I managed to wash the other bulging body parts until FINALLY I could just barely reach that spot behind my neck. After 8 full minutes, I could bend my arms just far enough to barely reach every spot. Whew!
NOTE TO MUSCLEBEAST: I still want bigger guns for biceps. However, I did notice today that I really do have decent biceps. The trouble is that my large shoulders dwarf my biceps. Most muscle guys I know personally appear to have bigger biceps because they don't have the shoulders I do. So, I think my criticism of my own biceps is purely a result of my beefy shoulders.
NOTE TO OTHER BLOGGERS: Is this yet another attempt by Brett to blow hot air up his skirt? You betcha! Ha ha... just kidding! I am very self critical of myself in the gym, so please don't take this post as an example of how full of myself I am. I lost my abs and I haven't done shit for Spinning in over 6 weeks. I have a lot of work to do to get back to where I was! So, please forgive me if this just smacks of narcissism! Yes, I am vain. What's so wrong about wanting to be beefy enough to where you walk in a room and every poor sap's tongue falls to the floor???

Wish i could get motivated to get back to the gym...argh.
How about I go up there and whip you into shape? We can pump iron in the gym and pound each other in the sheets afterwards? Jeez... I apologize if this is so HORN DOG. I am sorry. When I workout, that testosterone is pumping so much, I am insatiable.
Way to work it Brett.
I haven't got the guns yet, I'm getting there though.
Having seen your webcam a number of times, I would gladly volunteer to wash your back, though I'm not yet the muscle boy (or muscle old man anyway).
I think you have big biceps despite your big shoulders :)
I have had that kinda workout. My fav is doing squats until you can't bend you knees when you walk b/c your butt muscles are so tight.
Oh yeah... wobbly legs. I LOVE that feeling. How much you squat Daddy?
damn brett that is awesome. You sound totally stoked and it looks like you're gonna be back in the gym as soon as the soreness fades. Excellent work!! What was your routine?
I found that I can't talk on the phone after an arm workout because my muscles will get sore holding the phone to my ear. I usually get my bf to scrub my back if he's around.. otherwise I am S.O.L.
By the way, having big shoulders is a godsend. You can definitely build up your arms so let's see what happens eh?
I had to work to get those shoulders! I don't think any part of my body was naturally beefy before I started working out ten years ago. I was a little man! I guess I went obsessive compulsive on my shoulders and finally built it up enough. I need to get that way with my GUT and my ABS that have disappeared!
Good work, Brett. I am in training with a personal trainer, but I have had some setbacks with my ankles and can't do much cardio. It's very frustrating.
I share your disgust with the current administration. I cannot be patriotic when there is such a corrupt criminal occupying the stolen White House. I will not fly my flag again until this bastard is out of the White House.
What I don't get is how he got away with the 2000 election theft and I cannot let that go. This guy will never be my president. I loathe the man. His brother Jeb, and Katherine Harris are part of the shady deal and they have NEVER been investigated for removing THOUSANDS of names from the voting rosters. THEY should be in prison for what they did. But what goes around, comes around and they will ALL pay for their crimes one day.
Hey Brett!! Doesn't it feel great though? Because then your arms feel all nice and huge in the shower. I know this si a bit narcissitic, but every time I'd finish my upper body workout in the gym, I'd jump in the shower, flex my biceps and although my arms were pretty small (14"), the bulge was awesome to feel! And I know I've gotten a great workout in when I try to wash my hair and my arms hurt like hell... hehehe.
I kinda miss my workouts in the gym... but if I'm going to do this Power 90 thing successfully, I need to stick with their plan and ride it out before I make any changes... I will say this though... I just measured myself this week and I've already dropped an inch and a half off my waist line and an inch off my hips.. and 1.5% of bodyfat in the last week! Woo hooo!!! Hehehhe... sorry, just had to share the enthusiasm ;).
Oh by the way... darn it, I always keep forgetting to respond to your comments to my blog with whatever else i have to say abour your great posts... Anyway, thanks alot for the comment about my new pic post... I always think that I look like a total dork when I smile, but now you have me grinning ear to ear knowing that you like it ;). Thanks!!
What is everyone talking about? I've read this post ten time and the only words I seem to catch are "swollen," "tight," "sweaty," "fuck," "shower," "big muscle boys," "locker room," "get behind me" and "bulging body parts."
Yeah. Now that's a workout!
Ha ha ... Vince ... I thought I was the only one getting stuck there ...
just picturing everyone here pumping ... iron.
