It’s been a while since the last blog post. Kind of got lost there for a bit… may have gone off track on the ol diet.. god damn Super Bowl!! So many dips and incredible food… son of a bitch!! I want it all!! The good news is that the Pats won and the Infinite Gauntlet is now complete. Back to the bad news.. the weight is just adding up, again. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The scale should never matter to anyone that is putting in the work… it will all pay off in the end. Just stick to training hard and make progress and good things will happen!
I am back on the Keto diet once again to drop a few unnecessary pounds.. it won’t be as drastic as last time.. that’s not the plan anyways. It is more so I can be a little more nimble for the upcoming slow pitch season.
Now, getting to the real reason for this post
My fucking abs are killing me!!
As I am currently typing this post at my desk, from work, on my phone… I can’t help but be in discomfort. This is the price I pay for never working these things in 30+ years. Throughout the years it has always been about gaining size and strength.. it was never about these gut muscles or ever working them. I always figured if you do enough squats and log presses, they’d just take care of themselves. Which they somewhat did, there was core strength there.. but never had I isolated them like my training partner and I am, now. It went from never doing them, to hitting them every day!
My fuck… I don’t even know what the name of these exercises are. We just make up names for them.. like doing Rollouts. That may be name of the exercise but fuck if I know. The one thing I do know is that, that exercise fucking burns!! Everything is torn up and is torn up for days afterwards. I honestly believe the pain is worse than leg day pain. THERE IS SO MUCH DISCOMFORT!! Haha
It hurts to sit up in bed the next day.. forget laughing, or coughing, those hurt too but sitting up in bed… my fuck!!! You shouldn’t have to deal with that pain first thing in the morning! I did it to myself though… completely neglected the ol gut muscles for years. But now there is no turning back. They have become a muscle that needs hit and hit repeatedly… just like legs. They are to never be neglected again because I do not want to experience this damn pain again… fuck that shit!
Who knows, maybe by hitting them everyday like we have been… a Plus Size Male Model may just eventually get that ever elusive 6 pack that all the Biscuits swoon after… Shoo Shoooooo!! I guess it is time to double down on the diet and see where it leads….
