Shoulder pads of the new millenium

It’s just about that TOM again and I feel like poo. I’ll probably write something about it later, but for now I wanted to do something to make me feel better.

One of the benefits of working out with weights is that when you build muscle it re-shapes your body in such a nice way.

I’m appreciating my shoulders at the moment. I’ve gained shoulder caps. They’re so great for a couple of reasons. For one, they prevent my bra straps from rolling off my shoulder. And second, they have a slimming effect like shoulder pads did for us back in the 80’s. Shoulder pads, while an unfortunate fashion trend, created a very successful illusion of a slimmer waist. I may have looked like a scare crow, but I did have a tinnier waist.

Here is a good before and after display of my shoulders back in the beginning and now. I've almost gone from round to rectangle!

Then

Now
