Before I get started, I want to thank all of my fans and followers on Instagram. When The Thor Challenge debuted last week, you blew up my account with hundreds of likes and comments in the first 12 hours! Your support, encouragement, and praise is inspiring and makes the last, excruciating reps of a set worth it.
Now, on with the show.
This week's post is a two-fer. It opens with a joke and ends with an update.
I stopped by a local gym to drop off my copy of Arnold's autobiography to a former student and, while I was there, I saw something hil-larious.

A girl was on the bench and straining under the bar as her personal trainer did his best Burgess Meredith impression. (Meredith played Mickey Goldmill, Sylvester Stallone's gruff-voiced, Popeye-esque trainer in the Rocky films.) "Gotta want it!" he declared. As the steel rod continued to quake above her straining limbs, the girl yelled, "I don't want it!" Everyone in the room doubled over in laughter. In personal bodybuilding news, a recent development has taken place. Literally. |
See that muscle group on the left, the one highlighted in green between the rib cage and lats? Them there's called the Serratus anterior, what I like to refer to as "The Blades" because they look like the edge of a serrated knife. (They seem rather odd and out of place on the human figure in that they form relatively sharp points compared to other muscle groups in the upper body.) |
Well, good news. I've got 'em. Not like the guy in the picture on the right, but they are there nonetheless. And I know exactly how they came to be: dumbbell pullovers.
At first, I wasn't pulling much weight, which had me doing more cardio than bodybuilding as a result. But when I upped the poundage, bam, the little guys appeared almost overnight.
