THE SUMMER OF MUSCLE
No pain, no gain
It started simple enough. Two times a week my son’s Maximilian and Solomon would have their friend Sebastian come by for a workout session. In a matter of weeks you would know what day of the week it was when Sebastian would arrive.
It was obvious pretty quickly that they were taking this seriously. Over the summer, as the workout level climbed, they would include a session at a local gym. Clearly our limited kettlebells and other gym gear was no match for the young lads intensity.
The workouts usually would end with a protein shake. Because “ya gotta get your protein’s in”. And if there was no time for a pre-meal shake, astonishingly it would often follow our hearty meal. Nothing was going to get in the way of those “gains”.
The meals proceeding the workout became something to look forward to. Alice and the boys would always make sure there was something special being served. I’ve never eaten so well in my life ;-)
And as fast as it started, this past Thursday was the last session for the summer. Sebastian was heading back east for 2nd year Law. And just like that, the summer of workouts are over.
I’m not sure what the workout schedule will be this fall. With both my son’s now working in the family business, there may be less time for muscle building. The days are already getting shorter. Here’s a few images from their last session. Three young men in their prime.
