End of an Era (at least for me)

[gtapp]

Having dedicated much of my time to the sport of Power Lifting for the last ten years I am finally converting to Body Building (as of Jan. 1). This means I will have to eat a little crow since I have always referred to my body building friends as my Gay Buddies since I could never understand why anyone would lift weights for any other purpose but to get stronger. I have always respected them but just didn't see the point. Now, I am going to become one of them. I knew this day would come but I fought it off for as long as I could. Having endured surgeries, broken bones, pulled muscles, torn muscles, permanently damamged joints, chipped knee cap, dislocated joints and countless sleepless nights I had no choice but to wave the white flag. Starting Jan 1 I will eat and work out like a body builder trying to get my body fat down to 8% by June. Each time someone would ask me if I was a competitive body builder I would always respond:" Do you see me carrying a purse"? Now I will have to just pretend I am hard of hearing.

PS: Yes, I know no one gives a damn but posting is one way that helps me deal with the fact that age is finally starting to win the war.

Best of luck with that, Gay Buddy!

Getting old sucks. I had to give up the most-competetive softball level in Seattle when I didn't even see a line drive whiz by my ear.

Now I'm wondering if I can hold onto my 4.5 tennis rating.

Good luck in the new adventure, Gary! Just kick their a-- if they make fun of you!!

Awww, it's OK! There are a lot of not too gay guys that come to Body Pump regularly And after a few classes they can even keep up with us girls! ( I love to see big muscle heads come in and look like they're going to teach us a thing or two, only to be dragging after the first 3 tracks!!)

Good luck with the whole body waxing, fake tanning, and oil-rubbing!!!
