My name is Rick.  I’m six foot two and 225 pounds of weight-trained rock-solid muscle.  My 52” chest makes my 31” waist look even leaner than it is but it’s my 18+ guns that get the most attention.  All that has absolutely nothing to do with this story, but I’ve busted my ass working out and I really enjoy describing myself.  Anyhow, a few weeks ago I finally broke down and started taking Karate lessons.  You see, I work at this warehouse and even though I’m one of the biggest and strongest dudes there, this guy named Dave keeps kicking my ass, but that’s another story.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT -- the night before Fight Day Tom O'Reilly never thought he'd be put in this situation, but here he was, less than a day before he had to face Sam Reed to literally battle for his job. It wasn't that Tom couldn’t handle himself. After all, the man was 5'11" of nearly flawless 6% bodyfat perfection. His suits had to be hand-tailored to handle his 46" chest and his 28" waist. His shirts had to be specially measured to handle the flare of his lats tapering down to his narrow and six-packed waistline. His legs were lean, solid and hard.... not huge, but with 25” thighs, he was well-proportioned for his size. As he got home, he thought about what was to come, and his stomach knotted. It wasn’t that Tom couldn't fight.... hell, he loved getting into bar brawls and knocking the shit out of some drunk asshole with a big mouth. He liked the feeling of his fist connecting to a man's face, and the power of busting a guy up and open before mercifully putting him out of his misery.

My First Boxing Lesson

 

 

My First Boxing Lesson

There comes a time in your life when people around you start to slow down. If you’re smart, you see the signals and start doing something about it. I manage an auto parts store and spend entirely too much time behind a desk. Luckily for me, the guys who work for me are a lot younger and that keeps me going.

Warehouse One

The heat in the windowless room had risen at least ten degrees since the first sales fight took place, and now an hour later, even wearing a t-shirt was too much. So as Steve Stanhorn and Jeff Powell circled each other, Stanhorn raised his hands to the neck of his t-shirt, and in one slow motion, ripped it from collar to bottom seam, slowly revealing the already sweaty mass of muscle that was his chest and abs. Everyone in the room was impressed with this display of muscle, including Jeff, but Jeff couldn't be distracted by the show put on in front of him: he had to keep his head about him and fight.

I absolutely love days like this. The sun is shining and I've just finished restoring my classic AC Cobra.  The hills make a perfect place to take her out for a spin and wind it up a little. I enjoy the wind blowing through my hair, what there is of it. My buds at the gym give me a bad time because my buzz cut black hair and deep dark tan damn near make me look like a "brother". Not that I mind a bit.

That night, the men went home and dealt with the sudden pressures put upon them in different ways. Tony Terrelli couldn't stand still......he got home, and without even changing threw his jock, sneaks, sox and shorts along with his tight bag gloves into his gym bag and headed out to the gym. Once there, he relaxed just a little watching the guys in the locker room stripping after and before their workouts. The scent of ripe man pits and jockstraps hit him in the face as he walked in, and he made a mental note to remember to wear his jock to the office in the morning, under his suit, for protection, and some inspiration.

Jack Baker was a successful businessman, building his moderate but financially stable empire on hard work, sweat and determination. Starting out on the streets as a peddler, he knew a man who can sweat and work with his hands is a man who will be employed all his life. It is those prissy boys who started and will end their lives behind a desk, pushing paper, who need to rely on shrinks and pills to keep themselves together. not Jack or his men.... they were set for life.... or so he thought.

After his disastrous debut, Dan was much more cautious and guarded.  He had also watched several matches here at the Redneck Arena so he now feels that he has a better grasp on the entire situation.  He is well aware that he doesn’t know it all, but believes that he has the jist of it and can at least not be totally humiliated in the ring.  He is standing in the back hallway waiting for his introduction when the Choirboy walks by and slaps him on the ass.

 Whenever I’m at the gym I am commonly ‘zoned’ and don’t even realize anyone else is there, but not long ago after working out, an acquaintance was talking to another guy about a problem that really had him steamed up.  I heard something about his kid getting beat up and it caught my attention.  Ron Steele looks to be in his late twenties but is really ten or fifteen years older.  The dude keeps himself in really great shape.  He is about 5’10” and looks like he weighs in at 180 or 185.  Ron is solid, lean and strong.

There is just something about guys and their local home supply center.  It is somehow entertaining to just take a few hours and explore this giant building full of toys. It was getting to be that time of year for my annual visit to the garden center.  That means I’ve either finished or run out of plans for nearly everything else.  I’m not usually considered to be the ‘garden’ type but I’ve always wanted some kind of water feature near the patio in back and have never been able to find just the right thing.
