After a really intense workout, Lester and his training buddy hit the showers. Bill, Lester's training buddy, was a good deal bigger than Lester and while mostly muscle, he had a softness to his skin, and a distinct gut. After the showers, Lester saw himself in the mirror and started to complain about his gain. Bill told Lester that he had always been too skinny anyway, and pointed out the bigger arms and pecs and other growing muscles. Lester actually liked the larger muscles. Bill then said that Lester's gain was inevitable. As he got older, his metabolism would slow down and his hard workouts would just add new muscle growth. He was destined to get bigger, he may as well enjoy it.

Bill said that it was now fall, and it was time for him to start his bulk up for winter. Time to get the bigger sweats out and build up a belly. He would add 50-60 pounds and then cut down after New Years for Spring Break. He told Lester to relax and go with the flow.

Lester stepped on the scale in the locker room - which moved all the way up to 198 pounds. But Bill not only convinced Lester that he was OK - but that he really wasn't that big. "You don't even start getting big until you've made it to 250 pounds," said Bill. "Your hunger will tell you that you need to eat."

Just then, Lester felt his strong hunger return. He really needed to eat something - anything. Maybe Bill was right. Lester decided to allow himself to "bulk up" a little more. (Jason would have been proud - and will see the results!). Lester and Bill went out to the cafeteria for a huge breakfast.
