Ripped Dreams

It's a privilege for some of us that we get to live close to a gym. When it comes to that, I'm privileged enough to live just a few meters away from a gym. In fact today, my house is surrounded by not one, but three gyms. Imagine the enthusiasm of the locals to get back to shape 😊 The first gym that I stepped into was not even 100 meters away from my house and that was quite a good gym with lots of rich machines and equipment. Membership was Rs.1000 back in the day which is quite reasonable and most importantly it served my purpose; that is go to a gym and get the feel of it. The decision of selecting this gym was influenced a lot by my parents due to the fact that the owner of this gym is a family friend of ours. Being a stubborn kid, surprisingly, I also did not want to object against my parents will, thinking that it's always better to know at least one person in the gym - here, it's the owner himself. Trust me guys, it takes some courage to step into a gy

In my earlier post hope it's clear to all of you my friends, what made this deposit in my head and grew over time like a fungus. Amazingly enough, until I reached my mid 20s, I never wanted to have a Arnold like physique or bulk up. Never the less, in the deepest of tunnels of my mind, the idea of having a toned yet bulked up physique was always there, waiting for the right moment to waive it's authority over me. Then the moment came, the fire that was burning inside my mind started to take control over me, burning every obstacle on it's path. Nothing could stop it and the story unfolds like this. My best friend Lasitha 'Laiya' as all of us used to call him had become a gym rat and his growth was very prominent - like in a couple of months this tall, thin, lanky fellow became a bulked up monster with arms of about 10 inches. This made me think, how on earth this guy became so 'big'? and the answer is obviously, thanks to the gym. Laiya After few da

It's not a surprise for anyone if I may say, having a Arnold like physique is 'the dream' of any boy from his younger days and I'm no exception to that. From my pre-school days I had a liking to a well build body and wanting to build one for myself one day. Surprisingly, this thought, this love, this memory was lying deep down inside me until i get into my mid 20's - like a fire that has been burning underneath, waiting to come out and unleash it's potential. It took a good 20 years for me to find what was burning inside me, so my friend, you are never late. Dig deep, go down inside your own soul, search for what you're looking for, unleash. Every boy every man wants that physique, that dream physique, that physique i am still in search of, not even close to getting there yet, all you need is to dream for it and work towards it. 'Cus no dream is achieved unless you don't work for it. Dreams are there within you, but it's up to you to decide if yo
