Everything hurts.

Well, everything above the waist. I’ve been doing the squats and milk routine for the past two weeks, which despite focusing mainly on the legs and back muscles, also primes my body for some mondo muscle growth. Yesterday I finally caved in to my vanity and hit the upper body exercises; incline bench press, bent over rows, even the pec dec (I hate machines).

The result is that I can’t twist my body without feeling pain, but it’s lactic soreness that hurts oh-so-good. My mom even said that I’m looking bigger, especially my arms. She was surprised by the rapid growth, but I know that this is just muscle memory at work as my body returns to its previous state. What I need, however, is to break past my current weight threshold (approximately 130 lbs lean mass) and get to 140-145. I think my appearance will make a radical shift for the better at that point.

To infinity and beyond!
