on safari at the gym in search of the elusive 4-pack

i tagged along with my co-worker ken to the gym yesterday and actually lifted for the first time in 5 years. and yes, some muscles have in fact atrophied.

ken put me on all sorts of oddball contraptions that are supposed to work on my triceps, lats, chest, shoulders, and back. i went on the inclined plank for situps and then he had me do approximately one million pushups. the pushups were tough. after a while when he told me to do 5 more i screamed "NO!", sat down, crossed my arms, and refused to do any more. guns of steel aren't worth THAT much pain.
