"Gotta get a pump....", is it just me?

https://youtu.be/64S9UaJ3-RQ

I always thought this scene was inserted for comic purposes.

Flick = "Pain and Gain".

Scene = Mark Wahlberg just mistakenly murdered a pornographer, is understandably distracted and now he "needs to get a pump" before he can manage disposal of the corpse.

I believe it's relative to actual physiology.

See, cell types are divided into 8 groups (11 depending on how you count them).

Only 2 of said cell types are "excitatory" however; i.e. they flux ions in and out of the cell causing electrical propagation within the cell, responsible for cellular signalling etc.

Those two cells are

• Neural = the brain and nervous system
• Muscle cells

Lesser known but muscle cells are also excitatory in nature, that's how they initiate contraction and function.

Voluntary muscle groups taking orders from the central nervous system when to contract etc.

Involuntary muscles (such as the heart) operate via the autonomic nervous system.

Point being - they say a healthy body = a healthy mind, or a healthy mind = a healthy body?

Chicken V Egg? I think they work, "symbiotically". Overall electrical integrity of the physiological system requires both.

....

Point being after a two year absence I returned to the gym recently and basically feel like a different person, is it just me?

It wasn't just general exercise either, I'd been keeping fit with different things, running etc.

But physically I'd began to look like a guppy tennis player.

If I don't get my pump on I seriously begin to malfunction (I had actually began to take copious amounts of OTC pain medication to manage said malfunction - not fun, don't recommend).... so again I ask.... is it just me?

i think we can safely say that yes, it is just you

I think it's just you, as I haven't a clue what that was all about.

If I was tasked with the job of getting rid of the dead body of someone I'd just murdered, I would be doing at ASAP. The idea of lining up a workout and wasting valuable time and energy while the smell gets worse would be the last thing I'd be considering.

Exactly why I thought that scene was fabricated for the purposes of comedy.

But recently, having noticed how profound the physiological affect of getting "a pump" is, now I'm thinking meatheads might have some specialized pocket of knowledge general society is relatively oblivious to.

I can't believe I let 2 years slip by without getting a pump on.

I'm gonna get so ridiculously jacked over the next few weeks.

Just work out non-stop.

By the time I'm back in shape I'm gonna have to walk sideways through doors.

I have found that lifting has a noticeable effect on mood, also the more time you spend lifting, the more dramatic the change is if you suddenly stop. So yeah, if I had just killed someone, lifting would likely clear my head. Another option would be to have a w*nk.

Better still, have a wisdom w*nk or get a pump on before you kill someone and prevent it from happening.

I considered the **** being what was meant, but that just sounds.... creepy.

The effect of the workout is understandable, but there is a time element to be factored in.

Ah, only a couple sessions in and I'm already beginning to see my gainz bruh.

It's funny I'd become so accustomed to being in killer shape it's like I lost sight of the fact that one needs to work at it to maintain it.

That plus, as for many of us, the last couple years had been pretty hectic (not to mention gyms were closed).

It just felt like a good time to have a change of pace and get lazy.

Weirdest thing about being stacked vs skinny (or skinny-fat) is, how other people respond to you.

We like to pretend we respond to each other based exclusively on integrity of character etc.

BS

That is a part of it for sure but ultimately, cannot forget - jungle rules bruh.

Want dudes to be afraid of you, and/or chicks to get horny for you on cue?

Got to be:

thick......

solid.....

and often overlooked,

tight.

Do you even lift bro?

You could get yourself a bicycle pump. And stick it up your hole and try to inflate yourself that way

Just a quick tip. It is usually better to make sure to replace the weights on the rack, and preferably even leave the gym, before executing said w*nk. Or else you might have your gym membership revoked with no refund. Because apparently it's "upsetting to the other customers". Even though it's not against the terms and conditions and there are no rules against it. Because there is no good in arguing this simple point with them .....that's a wasted afternoon I'm not getting back.

True, but what then about the dead body?

Yes I too need to get a penis pump.

A few weeks ago the sun was blazing so I was flexing in muh wife beater.

It was at this point I realized I needed to get back into working out cause, it wasn't long before I noticed, there wasn't that much there to flex anymore.

(I got laid doing this last summer as in, daytime, no strings, a gal descended on me and said "I'm horny let's do it" - just FYI).

As of today, despite getting a couple sessions in and some encouraging gainz, I've still got my work cut out for me.

....

Suffice to say that if I thought for a moment the bicycle pump trick would work, I would definitely make life easier on myself.

This place is getting weirder by the day.

What does a guppy tennis player look like?
