Bulking up

by | Oct 31, 2011 | Updates

I’m working on bulking up at the moment and I can do this since my cousin has a small gym inside their apartment.

 .

I do a few weight lifting techniques which seem to work well in my opinion. I have definitely seen improvements with the size of my arms and my breasts, they are a lot tighter and more stretched and look physically very awesome.

Doing it for the military service…

I’m mainly trying to bulk up for the inevitable military service I have coming up soon. I’ll be honest with myself when I say I’m scared about joining the Taiwanese military. My cousins boyfriend has served in the Taiwanese military, he has said to me personally, that I might be bullied for my inability with Mandarin. However at the same time I want to experience military life even if the prospects may seem shitty. We have a saying in the West and that saying is “Man up!”, I guess this is what I am seeking the most.

 .

I hope to grow stronger from any bullying and I hope to have a more mean spirited stance on things. Meaning if I believe in something or if I don’t want to do something; I will say it directly and loudly. At the moment I will just follow and do what others tell me to do. Or I will tell a white lie to get out of doing something I don’t want to do. I don’t mean to be mean spirited in this sense, but hey, if you don’t want to do something, surely you are not always obligated to say “yes”.

Back to the fitness part of this blog post, I’m doing quite a bit of weight lifting everyday. It is coming to the point where the weights I am lifting aren’t so heavy for me anymore. Seeing as my cousin’s boyfriend only has one set of weights, I can’t increase those weights significantly enough. Although those weights must be adequate since my cousin’s boyfriend has extremely large arms.

First run of 2020 – 5.89km

I have not run properly in a good while so I found today's run quite tough actually. It was definitely not an easy run - given that Christmas and New Year's had me eat a lot of food and frankly, I've not been eating with health in mind - let's just say. So as part of...
