Broke Back Monday - Carbing Works!

Yesterday I ended up at the gym a bit late after a long boring day at work and some movie watching with Star Wars Galaxies as a chaser. I arrived at roughly 10:40 pm and proceeded to fire off a back routine since the past saturday we worked on chest and shoulders. Taking the advice of some gurus on the art, I had taken a shake laced with oats for a carb-fix an hour before. It seemed to work since I wasn't my customary tired self, I was exploding with the weights and did the damn thing right.

Legs/Biceps and Pretty Boys

Well yesterday I destroyed legs with my boy C-Diesel. I was trying to explain to him that "warming up" was a thing for noobs, and that real iron men hit the ground running. Needless to say he wasn't feeling me on it so we started with those boring old Leg Extensions. For yours truly its all about the squat, those other exercises are barely sides, it's like picking at some fries before tackling the huge quarter-pounder with cheese. Just gimme the damn sandwich and a drink, done! But most people need the fries to feel "full" so who am I to civilize the savage? Anyway the nightly trio of metro-sexual fakers were there last night, taking up space, dropping their pixie dust on the weights and being annoying to anyone in there trying to get big. I swear these guys should take their act to SHAPES or something because the true iron guys are getting tired of waiting on them to dance and flutter around a rack, wasting time for us to get on it. Anyway, today I am hurt and tired, which isn't an indication of growth but it feels good anyway, wanna know what did it? Just keep reading.
