Heavier Training

It had been a year since Daedalus became a body builder in training. Now Daedalus was about to learn what it meant, to be training for a show. Tom had decided Daedalus was ready to take his first steps into the body building stage, even if it was only an amateur competition.

Over the past year Daedalus had learned more than he expected about his body. For one his body was naturally leaned towards a swimmers build rather than a body builders build. It had caused a few issues along the way because his body while very obviously muscular, wouldn't build up the size that other bodybuilders had.

Standing outside the gym Daedalus knew that today would be a difficult one. Tom was inside preparing a side room that Daedalus had learned was specifically for those beginning preparation for a competition. He had heard stories for why the room was put into use in the first place, it was said that one man had worked so hard that he had had a vein burst so the room was to prevent panic and give room for paramedics or other medical people if necessary. It didn't help Daedalus much that he could see an ambulance outside the building.

Daedalus now stood at a solid six foot ten, with muscles as big as some men's entire limbs. Andromeda had found it annoying to begin with but she had eventually come around. To most anyone Daedalus was a behemoth of muscle and strength, a few at the gym had seen him lift a three hundred pound bar and put it over his head so he had become rather well known.

Standing outside the door Daedalus noticed someone pat him on the back causing him to turn around. It was a man called Terry by almost anyone he had met, his real name was Terrence Howlett and he stood at a solid five foot tall. As Daedalus turned the man took a step back and said chuckling "Careful, you need to get used to your size Daedalus. Anyway, I see you're starting the heavy training, honestly you already look like some of the best there has ever been, no clue why he's putting you through this."

Daedalus could only chuckle at the good natured man before saying "Tom even made me make my own weights you know. Dumbbells weigh two hundred and fifty and the bar weights go up to five hundred, I think he's going to kill me the dumbbells alone weigh fifty more than my maximum already!"

Terry paused for a full ten seconds before saying "I didn't even know you could lift that much, are you human?"

Daedalus smiled mysteriously and said "Maybe a little."

Terry raised an eyebrow and said "Okay mister mysterious, get in there, I'll be there making sure everything can be put back together when you fall apart. Oh and I'll be monitoring your body while you're at it."

Daedalus nodded feeling tense before shaking his shoulders and saying "Alright, let's do this."
