When I was 15, I wanted to be a bodybuilder.

Not just any bodybuilder though, the number one: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

There was this local old school gym in East London,

I described to him my health and fitness goals in great, lengthy detail,

you know, just like an adolescent kid does:

meaning I no longer have the capability to do any more repetitions,

意味著我已經沒有能力再做任何重複的動作。

then when I'm resting, my body simply produces more muscle,

and that allows me to lift more next time.

這讓我下次可以舉得更多。

I can then work around the body using this method on each muscle group,

我就可以用這種方法在身體周圍的每個肌肉群上進行鍛鍊。

and, Hey, presto, (Arnold voice) one day you have body like Arnie.

而且，嘿，presto，（阿諾德的聲音）有一天，你有身體像阿尼。

Well, I obviously do not have a body like Arnie. (Laughs)

More importantly, why did walking this way feel so alien?
