Chad, owner of our most excellent private gym, must be mellowing in his old age! After finding out about our teenage bodybuilding find, Billy, who works out with his younger brother Chris and my son Leo in our modest training cabin facilities, he questioned the rest of the members about letting the boys in, under supervision and without any ‘initiation’, in certain hours Mondays to Fridays, to take advantage of all the equipment. And, bless them, they agreed. Between 4pm and 7pm weekdays (ie after school) they can go in and use the weight equipment provided that either one of us or Billy’s father is there to supervise. Those hours would be difficult for him with work, so I guess it’s down to us, especially Zach and Gary when their own coaching and working shifts allow, because they actually live in the place in a penthouse apartment. But definitely Dave and I whenever we can.

No nudity from anyone during those hours – reluctantly accepted by some but commonsense, given the predominantly gay clientele and what they enjoy doing later in the day! – although as with all members, Chad expects all of ‘his’ boys to want to show off their muscles and to see them working, so it will be ‘no tops’ like the rest of us. None of this, though! – however good it feels to pit yourself against the weights totally unhibited by clothes…

…whereas this will do nicely:

All set for the T-bar lift… great for the back muscles. I’m sure there’ll be plenty of challenges, both mutual…

…and personal (“Have I gained anything since yesterday?“)…

Not giving anything away here about our actual Man.Power setup, but our place looks very like that one with its long rows of assorted machines.

Whilst Billy (and maybe Chris) will focus on building their bodies, son Leo knows he needs to get strong but stay flexible and nimble for his acrobatics…

He knows what he has to do (and indeed will show off in any available space at any time, especially if girls are present!).

They’re welcome to wrestle and try out martial arts too, so long as it is within the permitted hours…

Even Jaymee is welcome if she wants to go in with Leo and do some acro training in front of a new bunch of critics.

So huge thanks to Chad and the rest of the guys for letting this happen, and every good wish to Billy as he starts to shape up against some of our tyro bodybuilders. The biceps challenge is undoubtedly ‘on’ now for all of us…
