the body beautiful II
I must say, I’ve never been happier with my body. I don’t think I’ve felt so good about how I look in years, nor been so narcisstic. Nevermind that I feel much healthier, I actually think I might fall in love with myself…! Never have I spent more time nor gawked more in front of the mirror…!
Of course, I’ve not always wanted to look like this… If anything, I was going in the opposite direction of the stereotypical buffed gym-bunny for a very long time. I’m a bit of a chameleon - I’ve gone through many “looks” in my brief life, some of which are contradictory to each other. This is probably just the latest in a series of transformations. God only knows what I will choose to look like ten years from now…
While all this gym work is producing some very desirable results, there are some physiological drawbacks too. Firstly, I noticed that my voice has gone down a register or two. Secondly, I’ve got more hair (re-)growth (all over my body, I might add…). Thirdly, I’m getting more pimples on my face - it’s like a second round of puberty. I suspect all this is attributable to the greater generation, release and flow of testosterone in my body. Of course, the other side effect of greater levels of testosterone concerns the level of sexual desires… but we shall not go there…!
Meanwhile, I’m enjoying one of the better effects of the gym work - the attention!

the attention, yes, that sorta sums up the proposition of gymming, being healthy is just a by-effect i suppose…

Braving: how true…!
Sherie: Thank you! We’ll meet up when I am next back in KL in June. HUGS!
Sounds identical to the side effects of steroids. If your testicles are also shrinking or if you start having major mood swings, it may be time to take a break from the gym. I have never heard of excessive exercise correlate with increased body hair (other than perhaps during adolescence). Will do a lit search…kind of skeptical.
J: it’s not increased body hair. it’s faster hair re-growth. while i previously had longer time in between shaves, i now need to do it more frequently. no mood swings so far… all’s good really!
Presumably, you already have a baseline level of testosterone. If you prior exploits are any indication, this is not a problem. I was not able to find any medical literature supporting increased hair re-growth with increased exercise. Maybe you are just trying to keep warm with the changing weather. Cheers. Dr. J
When do we get to see a full-length photograph, Mr. Body-Beautiful?
