    When I first got into lifting I was the same way. In my pursuit to gain weight as fast as possible I’d scour all the muscle building magazines looking for every muscle building secret known to man.

    Every month as the new issues the various muscle magazines came out I’d dive in looking for the latest tips. Then I’d rush out to the gym with the workout routine of the most jacked guy I saw.

    I use to think…

    Wow, I am doing the same workout as Mr. O, shouldn’t be long before I have 22″ arms.

    I Need a Nap

    However, things didn’t go as I wished.

    I would get so tired by the end of the workout I could hardly move. Than the next day I was so sore it hurt to wash my afro.

    But, the more my muscles ached the bigger the smile. I thought…
