should I switch? nah fuck that
So I was wondering, what’s really the point of doing myofibrillar hypertrophy and not sarcoplasmic. It’s not like I need that much strength anyway, and girls don’t really understand that real power comes from strong legs and strong core, what stops me from just being like all the other people at my gym that pump chest and biceps (sometimes triceps) all day. People look at me strangely when I’m doing my squats/deadlifts/powercleans/powersnatches and I don’t really blame them, I would have thought the same thing back when I was only doing curls - “what the fuck is that shit?”
I go to the gym and bust my ass tearing with all my might heavier and heavier weight off the floor and get not that much visible gains in mass but a lot of power. Is this really what I want? Why not just pump blood filled balloons instead of building steel? I’d see results much much quicker.
And then I thought no. I know now what to do. I’m through the looking glass. I took the red pill. I simply can’t go back now. That would be chickening out and taking the easier option. I’d rather surprise and shock people than disappoint when I do physical feats. I’d rather walk around knowing that I put in that much more effort than everyone else and that if shit went medieval I can fuck up every motherfucker in the room. I’m not that vain, and I train for myself, so that when I’m 40 years old I can look back and say to myself ah yes, back when I had the most energy and my body had roaring levels of testosterone I pushed myself to my limit and got as far as I could.
What do I need all this power for? I don’t know and don’t really care. I guess I’m sort of doing it for a confidence boost. I’m the kind of person that would change the suspension, transmission, engine, gearbox and tires before bodykit and rims when I get a car. It feels really satisfying being much stronger than you look.
And then it feels even better when I go back to school and people I haven’t seen all summer compliment me on getting big.
