The Next Few Days

The next few days, the advice and progress continued. "Don't think you will start getting muscles right away", he explained. "It will take up to 2 months for your nerves to adapt that your good enough at the exercise to grow your muscles", "till then you are not yet good enough at the exercises, and you need to improve your form and work on doing it with more reps, then more weight", he explained. "Don't worry, I have 18 years experience with this, the exercises I showed you are the most effective", he continued.

The few exercises he demonstrated on the first day were important, he also showed me things like curls, pushdowns, leg extensions, leg curls, leg raises (which even the easy version was very hard), machine forearm curls (the tiny gym did have one of these), and bicep curls.

"All these exrecises are for when you have extra time after 3 sets of the main exercises", sir explained. "Like the main ones you aim to get better at all these with time". 

Some of the above exercises were fun, especially the leg extensions and curls, the trainer told me it was because my quads and biceps were not as weak as the rest of my muscles. Thus the fun times I was having. He would show me a picture of a well developed physique, one of those ultra stirated red diagrams with all the muscles labelled, and tell me the imprtance of a well proportioned physique.  

"Look at that guy there", said the trainer. I looked at him, he had huge arms, wide back bulging chest, his entire upper body was thick and well muscled. "Look at his legs", said the trainer. 

I looked down, his upper legs, quads as I had just learned, were tiny, enough to laugh at. His quads were almost the same size as his forearm, and smaller then thise of this lean athletic guy standing next to him.

"You see", pointed the trainer. "The quads are supposed to be bigger then the arm, and his quads are barely bigger then hs forearms, he looks ridiculous".

It was just then, that I heard someone pound on the door, as the trainer walked off to let him, I looked through the glass and shot up my cardio as I realized it was none other then Harsh Vardhan.
