friday night: that's entertainment!

Last meeting ended after 7pm, and we had a going-away celebration for one of the guys moving to NY, so I ate my dinner (OMFG I just love steamed onions, especially naganegi -- is there ANYTHING sweeter and more delicious?!) and headed down to the pseudo-Irish pub in the basement.
As expected, there was a veritable cornucopia of evil foods: nachos, the house special chicken-n-chips and fish-n-chips, mini-pizzas, etc. Since I had already eaten dinner I wasn't hungry in the least, so I got my iced tea and was sociable for an hour. As the posse was about to head off to Roppongi for some debauchery, I took my leave and headed over to the gym for my workout.
Friday night 9pm the gym was MINE. I think there was all of 4 people, including me. Since I already did my jumps in the morning, I spend a long time stretching before and after working out. Big chest workout day, and I failed out nicely on the push-ups and chest dips. Also for some unknown reason I do pistol squats better with my right leg than my left...strange because I am left-handed and my left side is generally stronger.
Anyway after the workout and shower I was drying off and noticed a whole bunch of well-defined physiology under my arms and in my shoulders and back that I have definitely never seen before. Don't know what all those muscles are called but they are making a serious effort to show themselves.
I was actually standing in front of the locker room mirror, wearing nothing but a towel, flexing and checking myself out. There were only two other guys in the locker room and I am sure they were thinking what an egotistical self-centered dude I must be, to stare in awe at my own body.
But seriously, I simply have never seen these muscles on myself before and I was really fascinated. There's these bits under my armpits, kind of across my ribs, and when I twist my torso and flex they ripple out in a triangle kinda shape. Or if I twist my arm down and back I have all these ridges now on my shoulder going down my arm and into my back...just really neat musculature.
So next time you see some studly buff dude checking himself out, give him some slack -- I kind of get what he's feeling!
