A Mature Male...

May 20, 2005 07:59 PM

I haven't been to the gym for a while, owing to other things I had and wanted to do. I work out randomly anyway, so this was not a concern for me. I do from 2 to 4 workouts a week, but nobody is counting and I thrive on the intermittency in my activities as I do in my eating.

It was about 2:45 and there were only a handful of young males in the weight room and a few females upstairs on the treadmills and those other industrial machines that people use to grind their bodies and brains down.

I was in a tank top and shorts because it is hot today. The jaws just dropped from these young males as they saw a mature male who has worked out all his life. None of them are cut and symmetrical; they all are smooth and working out their biceps, triceps, or pecs. I can say that I looked shredded compared to them and there was a muscle balance, density and symmetry that they could only achieve from a life time in the gym. And, they would have to do the right thing.

Relative to me (I hope this doesn't sound egotistical, I am trying to be clinical), the young men looked smooth (too much pizza or coke and french fries? probably just plain poor eating), out of balance, and non-athletic. When I do an exercise, muscles and tendons and cuts just seem to jump out of my body. I am thick and slender at the same time.

All these young guys have is some pump that they create with endless and mind-killing sets of repetitions of the same exercises. They aren't symmetrical. Females see this at a glance. A body builder who is focused on, say, arms, is not functional and is probably a bit narcissitic. He certainly has only appearance rather than function in mind. Females don't go for this.

When people see me, they see an athlete with a balance and density of muscle and cuts on my cuts (as someone told me).

The years do add up; you can gain muscle mass and definition through most of your life. And, your symmetry will grow so that by the time you are my age you will be a poised and dynamically balanced power athlete, not some washed up, declining male. Your musculature will be dense from every angle.

If you are young, you have so much before you. As you mature, you should easily achieve more than I have in musculature and symmetry. The technology is there and I will try to show it to you in my book.

Live and mature well. But, don't age. That is for other people, not me or you.

LOL. Confidence isn't arrogance. Can't wait to get my greedy little hands on your book, professor. I'm an envious young guy who's smoother and smaller than he ought to be and I'm looking to change that! Love the blog, it's great!

Simon tells me I went a bit over the top on my first version of this post. I think he was right and so I have done some light editing to remove some points that appeared to be boastful (they were only the facts but sometimes the obvious needn't be said).

Professor,
I think I can speak for many in saying that we ALL are looking forward to the completion of the project so that we may have this technology available to us very soon.

With great respect,
Matt
