The decent one
Hi everybody,
It's been quite some time after I used to visit these forums regulary but of course will never forget the irreplaceable fun I used to have at Emutalk! However, life goes on and a lot has changed for me. So now for something completely different.
One of the things I remember most while working with the N64 emulators, which was basically my daily bread in my mid-teens, was that I was one skinny underweight kid who could run very fast but not much more. Nowdays my interests shifted a lot, to physiology science and as a consequence of that to exercise and lifting weights.
Long story short: the daily hours I used to spend fidgeting with emulators I now spend in the gym or on my bike. I do not have a fixed program and just fit in what suits me best for the day, which works for me since I really enjoy it.
Two decades ago I wouldn't consider going to a gym and even poked fun at those who did... Until I realised these guys (and probably even many girls) were much stronger than me and I had been lagging behind! As a bonus of my sedentary lifestyle I obtained an imbalanced posture because of sitting slouched over at my desk for hours in a row, only to be compensated by lying on the couch.
Now by putting all the knowledge and theory I had into practice, and after years of consistent training, I basically am one of the fittest guys in my local gym and (according to others) look much younger than my actual chonological age. It was a very big overhaul but since I'm finally one of the bigger guys (muscle wise) a proverbial new world has opened up for me. I will not regret finally setting foot into the gym some 5 years ago and am now one of the guys who helps out the others who walked in the way I once did.
Back then I really underestimated the fun (and advantages) of lifting weights and getting to know the people who do so regulary (in despite of the fact that I used to poke fun at them, remember?). I was just wondering if other people here have had a similar experience, so if you have please share!
And of course I might be able to help you out of you are getting started or stuck with your progress
Greets and peace
