D.O.M.S

Ow!

My arms, chest and legs feel sore and tenderised all of today. Its like a very pissed off Mike Tyson just used my muscles as a practice punching bag and he really meant business.
The condition is better known as DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) in athletic circles. A pain or discomfort commonly felt 24-72hrs after exercise, caused by tiny tears in the muscle fibre due to eccentric contraction or intense training levels.

This was the result of a brutal gym session I had yesterday with my mad wog gym buddy, Milan.

Milan is a massive, hairy, 6ft brute who from first impressions, you really don't want to be around when he's pissed off because he seriously looks like the sort who can hurt you bad with one hand and rip your balls out with other. He has a brother named Dragon, who looks twice as nasty but got banned from our gym due to some disagreement with the gym manager.

Once I got to know Milan however, we just clicked instantly and he turned out to be one heck of a down to earth type guy who just says it like it is with no bullshit in between. He's also extremely good with the ladies and always dishes out gold nuggets of advice in that area.

It was in between sets of smashing 100kg on the bench press that I asked him of a problem in that area that was plaguing me the last couple of weeks. What do you do when you get a girl who's dropping big hints like bombs left right and center that she's keen to get it on, but you really aren't interested in her at all.

"Why the hell not? A root is a root!" He growled as he throws on more weight and motions to me that it's my turn under the bar.

"Well, I'm just really not attracted, she's really not my type and I can't see it going anywhere." I replied with a puff as I unracked the bar from the supports.

"Look mate, the way I see it, you think too much. You over-analyze everything and try to wait for Ms. Perfect to come along and until that day comes you are just missing out on potentially good experiences that come with life and living in the moment " Milan replied

Trembling from the weight, I exhaled hard and pushed up for my final rep, racked the bar and turned around to look at him quizzically.

"She might also be lookin for Mr Right but even if she doesn't find him, you be damm sure she'll have some fun along the way. That's how life is, quit ya thinking and go out there, meet new people, have some fun, get some good shags with some bad shags and you'll come out a wiser man. " He continued talking as he proceeded to head off to the next exercise.

I stood there and pondered for a moment as I looked at this modern day caveman trudge away. He could have a good point there......

What do you think?
