For a year and a half, I have crossed paths in the gym with a guy named Brent. We have never said much more then 2 words at a time. The other day, he stopped me to ask me about my progress. All the compliments in the world never sound as good as the ones that come from a nice guy that admittedly expected you to fall off of the wagon. It sounded as if he was proud of me and did not even know me. Within just a few hours of chatting, he was on this very blog reading and getting to know my journey. Brent had offered his help in any way that he could to keep me on track. How about that for jumping on the support bandwagon?
Last night, I had the pleasure of training with Brent. For fun, he jumped in on my workout that Xavy has a had me following. The end result of looking "Jacked" is the common goal, but how we get there is apparently a whole different subject. I always assumed that every beef-cake in the gym was on the same plan but infact they are not. It was neat to see the differences in how we train and I think we both learned to respect eachothers plans on a higher level. Another good workout buddy found! Perfect timing too. I was starting to get a little bored with training alone. The company and extra push was very welcomed. It is so much more fun training with someone else. I know that people have their own things that work for them but since I spend so much of my time in the gym, it is just as much of a social experience as it is about the fitness aspect. Don't get me wrong, I am not one of "those" girls. I am however, a very social butterfly.
Today, I am feeling it! My chest is killing me. I got a great workout in and I feel sorta renewed today. I think it was a needed change in my plan. I guess the moral of the story is to be open minded. You never know who the person next to you is, and what that person can offer you.
