[speakeasy]

I stopped using machines and isolation exercises this summer. Now it's deadlifts, squats, bench, military press and barbell rows. I might throw in a few barbell curls if I feel like as well as some calf presses. People have been noticing. The last couple weeks about 6 of my friends as well as my parents said, "you've been working out, aren't you?" One was a girl I used to know from years ago in my teens. Saw her at a friend's wedding the other week. She was eyefucking me and came up and said how good of shape I'm in. She is now fat. It's cool to see that at 35 I'm in better shape than I was at 25, meanwhile my friends are putting on weight like there's no tomorrow.
