you married hun?
pm me if you want to talk.


I am going through relationship issues at the moment and don't feel it appropriate to workout at this time. I haven't been eating well the last couple days either, but as soon as things settle down I will be back at in training again with a renewed vigor.

O.k, a few dozen roses, some counseling and a puppy later, Linda(my lady) and I seem to be back on the right track on lovers lane. I will slowly begin my workouts though I won't be as strict with my diet since we found that's an issue that peeves her. We could never eat out because I didn't know how much of what I was getting. I can't get too big either because she feels threatened and turned off by muscular men which comes as a suprise to me. She likes a well toned body, but not bulky like I was aiming for.

I've lost 10 pounds in the past week, stress level was high, didn't eat much and definitely wasn't hydrating properly. Plus a lot of cardio in the past 3 day's![]()
New goals gain a little more bulk while cutting the thick layer of fat around my gut. Aiming for a version of Vin Diesel since she says she doesn't like a man with boobs, but pecs are nice just flatter not big and round, abs are now a must especially since she likes that V-taper from the hips down to the groin she says it's like an arrow pointing the way.

Hey Manic! We need an update buddy!
I'm sorry your girl doesn't like the look you were going for, but aren't you the one to decide thatI'm sure she'd change her mind when she saw you bigger and better. It all sounds a little weird to me, why wouldn't she let you go for your goals and support you??
Hang in there Manic![]()


I'm back after a couple weeks of business trips and other stuff. I took the day off yesterday and did a light full body workout just to prepare myself for a good brutalizing this weekend.
Jenny, I will get big just slowly, she is afraid I'm gonna look fat if I bulk too fast. I think she just says she doesn't like big muscles so that I will spend more time with her and not lifting or cooking all of my meals. I just told her I have to workout because it's my way of relieving stress, it was that or we would have to have sex everyday for an hour, of course she opted for the latter, damn it.

Sounds like my misses..... But once i got da muscles..... now theres a different storyI catch her pervin at me sometimes
I say "what" she says "nothin.... just lookin"
Your pecs will end up whatever shape they end up Manc... it's not that easy to control your shape. I rekon just hit it hard and she'll love how ever you turn out.
Now convincing her about the diet.... thats a different story....
I started cooking for myself and she got the shits and took over![]()
Good to have you back lion
Tell your wife to go to the gym with you, that will be a great new way for you to spend time together!You could see it as foreplay

Don't overdo it just coming back man! Good to have you back!
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I'm here, still eating right and lifting, my journal has just gotten so redundant I neglect it out of boredom. Of course the last 2 weeks have been nuts, we had a flood at work w/ 14" of water, I've been heading the cleanup while doing my regular work, I don't leave till late, now things are finally settling down and I can whore here a little more![]()

Life's full of little surprises hey...


I would be less pissed if it were all natures fault, but they are now claiming our area wouldn't have flooded if the city had cleaned the storm drains. I should get the mayor out here to scrape mud off of the floors.

I'll be starting a new journal titled . "Beware:Construction Zone"
An Update, for a couple month's I had my hands full cleaning up from a huge flood that destroyed half of our stock in the warehouse on top of having the worst flu I've ever had (5 days of being bed ridden followed by 3 weeks of just feeling drained) I eat well whether I am training or not so I didn't gain or lose any weight, I tried to lift a couple times a week to maintain some of my bulk of course I think I lost alot, but Linda say's I look the same just more cut. On the bright side my previously damaged knee now feels 100% so I will be able to hit my legs hard again and instead of getting up extra early to get my meals ready I got to sleep in 30 minutes every morning which led to more sex so I can't really complain can I. Let's say I was doing training of a different sort![]()
