The actual point is that "it takes weight to push weight". Every time I've gone on a workout campaign, in moving from being able to push minimal weight to maximum weight, I've traditionally gained 10 lbs right off the bat. This is because my body stays in shape without my actually working out, so I have no incentive after a while, and just quit it. Due to muscle-memory, it's easy for me to get the weight back. My point was that this time, I'm starting heavier than I ever WAS in my entire life, so I'll be interested to see whether I head towards 175 or remain around 162. I'm not saying I'm TRYING to make 175, but I have a lot of "refilling" to do, and it's going to be interesting how that works out. As far as motivation, I was talking to my friend Jimmy, who was raving about how much he's benching these days (I never really cared about benching. Flies are where it's at for chest development and sculpting) and planning to look good for the summer, and I decided to use that as motivation to get myself in gear. @Steve: hahahaha Nah, that’s not the point, although you’re right, maybe, about slowing metabolism…

Yeah, I know you know. I'm just saying I wouldn't add extra fuel to that fire until it was actually lit first. You're already carrying extra oil drums as it is. Heh. Might want to try getting lean first THEN go for packing on more muscle. Oh, yeah, good luck, fatty.
