There has been a significant change of focus in my personal training sessions. I'm doing so much cardio elsewhere that I'm now concentrating on building muscle during my PT session. This includes a hefty doze of squats, dead lifts and bench presses on a machine known as "The Rack".
Yesterday saw me graduating from girlie little weights that even the ladies were sniggering about, up to proper man sized weights. The most noticeable change, apart for the obvious effort involved, was the now immensely satisfying clunking noises coming from my end of the gym. It used to be little clinks and tinny bumps that barely raised an eyebrow. Now it's herculean thumping and metallic clanging that would impress any nearby lady, if they were so inclined.
I demonstrated my new found abilities to one of the gym staff by bench pressing 55kg. It turns out he used to bench press 90kg and thinks that I'm a bit over excitable.
Current weight is 13 stones 4 pounds (186 pounds / 84.4 kg).
And the weight gain is definitely not from increased muscle mass. A quick burst of The Complete Scarsdale Medical Diet has begun to offset last week's crisps and scones.

What impresses women is other women's choice of handbag and shoes, have you thought of accessorizing more?
But I don't suit handbags, and I can't do much with my hair. Perhaps I'll get one of those big thick belts to go with my heels.
