Finding inspiration in fantasy

Since we’ve switched back to our old gym routine I’m actually enjoying the workouts and have been good about going 4 mornings per week.

I wonder, is it reasonable and ok to use a fantasy to get you out of bed and to the gym? Years ago in my early/mid teens, I did the swim leg of a triathlon as part of a team. I was a very skinny little thing but a strong swimmer. The water was cold so, as soon as I was out of the water and handed over to my team mate, I headed to the showers.

The sight that greeted me (once I’d stopped shivering enough to focus) was to become a lasting fantasy. There were 4 or 5 communal showers at the end of the room and long open benches and the room was full of men happily stripping off and showering together and chatting while they were completely naked. These were triathletes, so there were a lot of good bodies around. Ever since, I’ve loved the idea of sex in a changeroom.

So, with that in mind, I will haul my butt out of bed in the morning and get myself to my workout. I rarely see sights that equal the fantasy, but that’s what fantasies are all about.

Naked workout

Last week I posted about whether nude sport was a good idea after nearly losing my “boys” at aerials class. I still really like the idea of nude sport but definitely think it has to be a very carefully selected sport. I’ve mentioned on here in the past that I love the idea of a nude gym. It’s not for everyone but damn, look at the second photo of the guy doing squats. Personally, it would get me to the gym a lot more often.

Pros and Cons

I’m getting increasingly frustrated with myself and my lack of motivation at the gym. Granted I had a very restless sleep last night but I really should have gone to the gym this morning yet, once more, I didn’t. Having said that, if silks class was every day, I’d be there religiously. It might be the motivation of knowing that I’m capable of performing or just that it’s a great challenge, but I’m loving class this term. I’ve always really enjoyed it but both classes this term have been great fun. My teacher told me last week that I’m nearly ready to go up to the advanced class and then this week she said she’d finally watched the video of my performance and she was proud of me. Yay!

It’s cold and I’m sick

A few weeks ago I posted a photo of a guy as inspiration for the gym and I’ve come across this equally spectacular shot of him from behind. Sadly, right now I have a cold and can’t really go to the gym, even though I’m still going to go to silks class tonight.

Today is 14 degrees celsius in Sydney for the second day in a row and I hate it.  I operate on a much happier level when I’m warm in the sunshine, not all rugged up trying to stay warm and dry. And like most men, I’m a wimp when I’m sick. It’s just a cold but if it gets much worse, you know I’ll be pretending I have ebola trying to get sympathy.

Back to the gym tomorrow

Last week, even after all my inspiration and enthusiasm to train hard, last week I only made it to the gym twice. I missed one day because of laziness and another because I had worked really late and needed to sleep in.

This guy must have had to train hard at his chinups. He’s naturally carrying a whole bunch of weight in front before he even starts. My lordy that thing must get in the way, but it is pretty.

Tomorrow is chest and calves day at the gym and no doubt I’m going to be in a world of hurt afterwards. If there are any personal trainers out there, feel free to send me and my training partner a new program. We’ve been doing our current one for a while and need to change it up a bit.

I’m intrigued now.

There is a guy at the gym that has me thoroughly intrigued. He’s not model good looking or stunning but definitely very cute in my books and from what I’ve seen, totally the kinda guy I could see me introducing to my family.

The intriguing bit kicks in because I get the odd smile and more recently hellos have been exchanged in a very casual way. It’s a kind of very mild flirting but he has a wedding ring on. I’m never the guy that straight-but-curious guys flirt with and test curiosity so I’m finding it quite amusing, knowing full well there will most likely never be an answer to the mystery. It’s a fun little intrigue to add to motivation to get to the gym so early.

Inspiration

It was a big struggle to get out of bed this morning and get to the gym, but I’m determined to be good and get myself into the shape that I want to be in. I didn’t sleep very well last night again because of strange dreams. Not necessarily bad dreams but not that thoroughly entertaining either.

This guy is today’s inspiration. I don’t want to be this big but I’m inspired by his discipline that he obviously has to get in this shape. I don’t think anyone of you out there is going to complain either.

Challenging myself

Over the years, having grown up a very skinny guy, I’ve always felt skinny and now after being relatively consistent with the gym and now aerials and pole dancing, I’m heavier than I’ve ever been at 81kg (178lb) I’m starting to realise that gone are the days that I can eat what ever I want. My diet is fairly bad through the days. I try and eat well at night but burgers and chips feature too heavily in my diet.

So I’m going to be more disciplined with my food and I’m also going to try and get myself measured properly, like biceps, legs, chest and all that stuff so that I can get a better idea of progress. I may never look like Tyler here, but a lower body fat percentage wouldn’t hurt me.

My fantasy is still that

This last weekend I was supposed to do a photoshoot of this hot muscle guy in a gym, and we were almost certainly going to tick off a couple of fantasies of mine and shag in the gym and lockerroom. I don’t know what happened but I sent text messages and emails trying to confirm the time etc and got no reply. So my fantasy of having sex in the gym and lockerroom is just that. A fantasy.

To shoot and then shoot?

In a couple of weeks I’m doing a photo shoot of this hot muscle bear jock guys who runs a gym in Sydney. He’s a sexy tall guy who loves exhibitionism etc and wants some horny shots done. We are even going to be able to do the shots in the gym after hours. It’s going to be a shoot full of sexual tension.

The question is, would it be unprofessional to do something about that sexual tension once the camera is away? Part of me says yes, it sets an unprofessional precedent between photographer and model, but the other part of me (typical libran, seeing both sides of any argument) says that hell, we are both consenting adults and I would never pressure anyone into sex, it’s just not my style. Either way, the shoot will be hot fun.

It’s all back to front

A friend of mine from the gym and I were discussing the antics and lengths some guys will go to so that other guys don’t see their cock in the changeroom at the gym. It’s hilarious to watch the contortion and gymnastics guys will do to pull underwear on and off under a towel.

My friend however loves the guys that will drop their towel to pull their underwear on but turn away from everyone as soon as they are uncovered. My mate up until his newish boyfriend has been very much a top and is a real butt lover so basically these shy boys are offering up on a platter exactly what he wants to see.
