I decided to gain my weight in muscle, not fat.
I’ve never been all that interested in getting in shape before, but this wrestling unit has made me rethink things.

I figure if I bulk up now, it could actually come in handy down the road.
The football unit is coming in the spring, and they split the teams up into shirts and skins. And I always get put on skins.
I think they do that to make all the out-of-shape kids feel ashamed of themselves.

If I can pack on some muscle now, it’ll be a whole different story next April.
I showed them some muscle magazines I got at the store so they could see how ripped I was going to be.

I ripped my jeans on the fence. 내가 울타리에 걸려 청바지가 찢어졌다

Mom didn’t really say anything at first, but Dad was pretty enthusiastic.
“Muscles are gross”

*gross : 총(總) gross weight 총무게
중대한, *역겨운 He ate it with mustard.’ ‘Oh, gross!’ 그는 그것을 겨자와 함께 먹었어. 윽, 역겨워!, 아주 무례한, 비대한 She’s not just fat, she’s positively gross! 그녀는 그냥 살이 찐 게 아냐. 그야말로 비대해!
My mom said if I wanted a weight set, I was going to have to prove that I could stick with an exercise regimen.

Christmas is a month and a half away. And if I get pinned by Fregley one more time, I’m gonna have a nervous breakdown.
That means I’m going to have to take matters into my own hands, as usual.

Even though Mom wouldn’t let me get the equipment I needed, I wasn’t going to let that hold me back.

So I went into the fridge and emptied out the milk and orange juice and filled the jugs with sand.
Then I taped them to a broomstick, and I had myself a pretty decent barbel.

After that, I made a bench press out of an ironing board and some boxes. Once I had that all set, I was ready to do some serious lifting.
