Pool Boy
By
Gym Dude
I have to admit that I love to drive, but the commute
into town each day finally got me down, not that I would call the commute
'driving', it’s more like intermittent parking. Anyhow, I finally gave up and
started searching for a house in the city. After a few rounds of sticker-shock
one of the guys at work suggested a condo. I'm not big on having neighbors
right on top of me, but what the hell. Why not look?
My Education
by Gym
Dude
My name if Matt, and I’ve been in the Army now for about
four months. Basic training was a breeze, but it did give me time to get
accustomed to how the Army does things. My company is now in our fourth week of
advanced training at Ft. Benning, GA and I love it. I just thank God that I was
in shape before I started, there’s a lot of these guys who are really dragging
ass by the end of the day.

Redneck Arena
Christmas
Chad vs Brice
By
The Mangler
The lights in the Redneck Arena went dark. The announcer’s voice came over the
loudspeaker. “And now the ref for our
next bout, none other than our very own, sweet, innocent, and popular
Chhhooiirrboyyyy,” the voice boomed in the dark.
Gang Warfare II
By
Gym Dude
I have to admit, as I work my way through the
soreness, I have a pretty good feeling about my performance during the
confrontation with R.J. and his 'gang'. I work my body hard and my 223 pounds
of beef shows it, but that night clearly demonstrated these big muscles are not
just for show! Every time I think about it, I feel like Superman!

Every gym seems to be comprised of the same type of people.
Most of the members stop by periodically, work through the machines for a while
then head home so they can casually drop into conversations that they “work out
at the gym”. It makes them feel good and they stay out of our way, so that’s
cool with me, especially since they help pay the bills and keep the price down
for those of us who really need this place.
Brian verses AJ
By
Gym Dude
We’re at the gym where Brian is making one of his infrequent visits. He
is a fairly big boy and makes no secret that he is an NHB fighter. He
gets a charge out of throwing his weight around in an effort to impress the smaller
guys. Today he’s leaning on a machine while a ‘buddy’ is trying to get in
some reps. Brian is content to work out his jaw doing what he can to pass
himself off as a rough tough fighter. Brian shares a few stories about
how he worked some guy over in the ring and how the guy never really had a
chance against Brian’s superior skill and strength.
Chuck’s Wresting
Weekend: Part 1
by
Lifeguard
Although I had been nursing my bumps and bruises all week, I was eager to get
back into the ring to reclaim my pride after the humiliation I suffered in my
last match at the hands of Chuck. I was about to ask my wrestling
buddies if Chuck would become a regular member of our wrestling group when Bob
called letting me know that Chuck had invited us to a weekend wrestling get
together at his place. Bob gave me directions and said he wasn’t going to
be able to make it there.
Seasonal
And to all a
Good Night!

It's December
and that means parties. Now I'm a social kind of guy and I enjoy parties as
much as the next guy, but this time of year gets kind of crazy. There are parties you really look forward to
then there are those you feel obligated to attend.
I have a friend, well, let's say a client of mine who
invited me to her holiday party last week. She is a business owner and has
become a pretty important account of mine. It's an interesting relationship,
most of the time she is very professional, but on occasion I think she is
coming on to me. Things are fine if we are in her office or mine, but in a
social setting she always finds a way to squeeze my arm or rub my chest or abs
and make this "OOOOOhhhh" sound.
She comments on my muscles and how strong I must be, but it never goes
any further than that. She is no school girl, but an adult lady in her
mid-thirties and I'm only 22. I do work out every day and am proud to carry a
very solid 196 pounds on my nearly six foot frame. Compared to the rest of the
lifters in my gym, I would say I look pretty hot and Carol seems to appreciate
a man who is put together right. Anyway, I appreciate her business, so when she
invited me to her party I pretty much had to be there.
