Lil Dude by Richard Jasper From: Richard Jasper SEPT. 1ST Just returned from freshman orientation... Omigod! My "senior buddy" is the biggest effing hunk on the planet! What can I say? He's tall, *lots* of curly blond hair, blue eyes, a short oh-so-sexy beard! And, lawsy, the boy is built! I'm talking big time bodybuilder big! I stayed to the very end, after just about everyone else had left and I was the only one left in his "buddy group." (Where DO they come up with this crap?) I finally got up the nerve to ask him the two questions that had been on my mind since I laid eyes on him -- how tall are you? how much do you weigh? I kinda stuttered them out, I was so nervous! Amazingly, he grinned at me -- I think he liked having me ask! In fact, I half think he *winked* at me! At any rate, he pulled in his incredibly flat tummy, squared those awesome shoulders, and threw out that massive chest before saying... "Dude! 6'2 and 240 lbs.!" Did I mention he's from California? Did I mention I blurted "Shee-it, man!" and then turned beet red? Oh, yeah, and his name is Chris... Enough for now. First day of college classes in 6 1/2 hours! SEPT. 2ND Classes were good! History is a cinch, I may try something more advanced next semester. The Poli Sci prof is a hoot! Calc sucks, but that's about what I expected. And the French TA is this really cute Jewish girl from Brooklyn. She's all of 21 and I kinda think she and I may have 1 or 2 things in common... But the best thing is that I had dinner with Chris tonight! I was heading across the Quad, figuring I'd check out the library again, when I heard, "Yo, Lil Dude!" directly behind me! I whirled around and literally bounced off of Chris - - jeez, he's SOOO big! "Whoa fella!" he said, steadying me by putting those two big, beefy hands on my shoulders. Cripes, I tought I was gonna explode just from that! "Chris! you scared the shit out of me, man!" He laughed. "Why so jumpy, Lil Dude?" Which I immediately pounced on. "What's this 'Lil Dude' stuff about, dammit?" He got a big grin and said, real slow, "Well....." I rolled my eyes. "Well, yeah, I'm three inches shorter than you are and, well..." "And I weigh about half again as much as you do...?" he finished. I did some quick mental calculations. "Uh, make that 70% more, you big oaf! You outweigh me by just about exactly 100 lbs.!" He arched his eyebrows. Jeez, I didn't know *eyebrows* could be so damned sexy! "Is that all? You look bigger than that..." I blushed, of course. Which is when he asked me about joining him for dinner. I met him in front of Cox at 6 p.m., just like I said I would. He was hanging out with these other big guys and at first I didn't want to go up to him. Let's face it -- I *am* a "Lil Dude," whether I like it or not! &*^%$#@ But then *he* spotted me, told the other guys "buh bye!" and came over to *me*! Am I sounding starry eyed or what? I was suprised at how many questions he asked while we were eating -- what it was like growing up on the Gulf Coast (he's seen the Atlantic and grew up on the Pacific, never been to the Gulf), what Mom and Dad are like, what it's like having a 12 y.o. kid sister (he has 1 older brother), etc. And then it was MY turn to ask questions. "Well, what *I* want to know is -- how'd you get so damned big!" He grinned. "I knew that would be your first question!" I blushed, yet again. "Is it that obvious?" I wailed, burying my head in my hands. He laughed. "You know what?" he said. "I wasn't much bigger than you are when I started lifting and that was just 4 years ago!" I must have sat there with my mouth hanging open. "Yep, God's honest truth. My first day of fall semester of my senior year of high school I hit the gym weighing 160 lbs. soaking wet." Then the s.o.b. leaned back in his chair and stretched. Sproing! I thought I was gonna crap my britches. His shirt pulled up just enough for me to see his obliques and that faint little blonde treasure trail heading south from his belly button. And the rest of it, Jesus! Those abs! Those pecs! Those arms! "Yo, Lil Dude! You still there?" Why the hell did God invent blushing? Is He a sadist or something? "It's like this, Lil Dude," he went on like I was being perfectly normal and natural. "You wanna get big, you gotta eat big, lift big, don't overtrain and get plenty of rest." I frowned. "Is that all?" Amazingly, HE started blushing! "Uh, well, there's *also* motivatoin, y'know, and for some people there are different kinds of motivation. For some of us it, uh, needs to be, uh, more special than for others. Still you gotta have it," he said, emphatically, suddenly regaining his confidence (where'd it go in the first place?), "or you ain't gonna grow." I looked at him a minute. Hemmed and hawed. I can't believe I'm such a dope sometimes. "Uh, well, uh, Chris..." "Yeah, Lil Dude?" "Can you teach me how to grow?" He gave me this huge shit eating grin! I'm surprised I didn't turn into a puddle on the spot. "Meet me at the entrance to the gym at 7 a.m. sharp," he said. I groaned. "7 a.m.?!" "You wanna grow!" "You know I do!" "Then 7 a.m. it is!" Which is why I'm hitting the hay NOW! SEPT. 3RD Wow! That was amazing! I kinda think Chris thought it was amazing, too! Somehow I managed to drag my a-- out of bed and meet him at the gym right on time. I had on my new gym shorts and my loose tank top and my new tube socks and my shiny new sneakers. I wasn't really expecting his reaction... "Woah, Lil Dude!" he said when I walked up. "I didn't know you were such a furball!" Without thinking about it I whapped him on that huge effing arm of his! Cripes, man, it's bigger than my thigh! "Ow!" he bellowed, although I figure it probably felt like a moth had landed on him from his point of view. "Why'd you do that?" I steamed. "Furball?!" I demanded. He laughed. "Chill, Lil Dude!" he laughed. "I was paying you a compliment! Look at me..." He pulled his shirt half off -- I thought I would die! "I'm as smooth as a baby's butt! Damn, what I wouldn't give for a rug of chest hair like yours!" I grinned. "Well, now that you mention it, I *am* pretty advanced in that regard!" He turned me around, looking me up and down. "And none on your back, lucky dude! Chicks hate that! And your arms and legs are just right -- not too much, not too little." I sighed a little. Chicks? But then he made up for it. "Y'know, Lil Dude, you've got *great* proportions. For such a little fella you've got nice wide shoulders and great legs. It's just that waist that's so tiny and you can't complain about that!" About that time we made it to the weight room. Yikes! What a palace! I didn't know half of what that stuff was, but I wrote down all the names as Chris walked me around -- Hammer Strength, Cybex, Precor, Life Cycle, Nautilus, free weights, squat rack, flat bench, on and on. And then he showed me how to use it. I was kind of afraid that I'd get a woody watching him work out. It was effing gorgeous! But for some reason I was *totally* focused for once. Weights, weights and more weights, that was all I could think about. We started with bench press. Turns out the bar itself weighs 45 lbs.! Chris put on a couple of 25 lb. weights and said, "here, try this on for size." When I hit my 12th "rep," as he called it, he told me to stop. "Hmmph! You're stronger than you look!" It's a good thing I was holding onto the bar or I might have floated off to the ceiling! "Let's put some more on." He took the 25s off and put on the next size plate, which were the 35s. Same thing. Then he took off the 35s and put on the biggest ones, which are the 45s, I now know, the biggest they have. Same thing. "You're sure you're not tired yet?" he asked. I shook my head vigorously -- for whatever reason, I was wired this a.m., first time in my life! "OK, enough of that," he said. "More than three sets and we'll be overtraining you..." Then we did shoulders, then arms -- "tired yet?" -- and then back and then legs. Same story with each of them. I don't know where the time went but when we finally stopped it was was already 9 o'clock and we both had classes at 10. "Lil Dude, you just don't get tired, do you?" I shrugged my shoulders. I guess not! Before we finished up entirely though, Chris wanted to try the bench again. This time he *started* with the 45s. Same story as last time. Then he added a couple of 25s, took them off and added 35s, took them off and added 45s. Same thing. 12 reps, "perfect form," he kept saying. I didn't sweat, so I guess I really didn't work that hard. "Woo hoo!" he said, finally. "Doin' good, boss?" "You're doin' fucking amazing, Lil Dude! That's 225 lbs. Thre are guys half again as big as you who have trouble with that much weight!" I thought I would walk on air. And then he said the scariest words in the English language. "Ready to hit the showers...?" Talk about stuttering -- crap! "I, uh, uh, I, well, I'm gonna shower at the dorm, if you don't mind. I didn't bring all my stuff..." The bastard had the biggest grin on his face but he covered it up with his hand. "Uh, OK, alright. But see you again tomorrow at 7, right?" Which is all of 8 hours from now. I've GOT to go to bed. But I'm still wired. It's been like that all day. I've felt like I was on speed or something, not that I've got a "fuckin'" clue what that's really like. Three bottles of Sudafed, maybe? All day it's been like I was plugged into some portable generator. Zing! And, y'know, I've always had nice little muscles but daaayum! they felt good today. Like they might actually be thinking about growing! Which makes me kinda horny, just thinking about. That and Chris and... Maybe I'll hit the hay after all! G'night, Diary! (to be continued) Lil Dude (Part 2) By Richard Jasper SEPT. 4TH Another great morning at the gym! "Yo, Lil Dude," Chris said when we got to the weight room. "You ought to be feeling pretty sore today, right?" I looked at him. "Sore?" He frowned. "Y'know," he said, "like your muscles hurt?" I shook my head. "I don't feel sore," I told him. "I feel *grrrreeeeat*!" He scratched his head. "Well, let's give it a try and see what happens." Again we started with bench press and 95 lbs. "How many, uh, 'reps' you called them? How many should I do?" I asked. "Just see how many you can pump out," Chris replied. He stopped me at 30. "Maybe we should do the weight I ended with?" He took off the 25 lb. weights and put two 45 lb. weights on each end. I knocked out 12, then paused. "One more?" he asked. The weight came down -- and there it stopped. I couldn't budge it. "Whoosh!" Chris set the bar back on the rack. "I was beginning to think you were Superman, Lil Dude!" Which made me turn beet red, of course. "Let's try something else." He added a 10 lb. weight to each end of the bar. "Give this a try." Same story as the 13th rep. The weight came down, it wouldn't go back up. "I dunno, Lil Dude." "Don't know what, Chris?" He just shook his head. "Later, Lil Dude. Let's finish up." Again I was too shy to join him in the locker room. Am I an idiot or what? I just *know* I wouldn't be able to control my weenie and that would be TOO embarrassing. Before I left Chris told me to eat a lot. "Remember what I said, Lil Dude? Lift big, EAT big!" Man, did I eat BIG today! Thank goodness for those cafeteria coupons. I ate a full breakfast at 10, a big lunch at 12, another big lunch at 2:30, dinner at 6, and a big ol' snack at 8:30. And I'll be damend if I'm not hungry again. I wonder what I can get at Cox at 11 p.m.? SEPT. 10TH I just don't know what to think about all of this. This morning I met Chris at the gy at 7 a.m., just like always, but instead of heading to the weight area he pointed me to the locker room. "Uh..." I started. "Jeez, Lil Dude, I'm not gonna rape you in the shower! We just need to get your stats, man. Y'know, height, weight, and that stuff..." He grinned. "Besides, I haven't gotten a good look at you since you started wearing those baggy sweats all the time." I blushed. I started wearing the sweats on my 3rd day at the gym -- that damned weight room is cold! And I was forgetting just how comfortable they are, even when the weather is a little bit warm Why would I want to wear anything else? "Let's start with the scale first. You're 5'11 right?" Chris asked, pulling out the measuring stick. I rolled my eyes. "Practicing to be a PE teacher?" I asked, more than a little sarcastically -- the s.o.b. whacked me on the butt! "Now let's get your weight," he said, once he was satisfied that I really was 5'11. He tapped the weights into place, then kept tappping. I looked at the ceiling. "151 lbs.," he announced. "Lil Dude, you've been holdin' out on me. I thought you told me you weighed 140!" I gaped. "It must be off," I said finally. "I've never weighed more than 140 lbs. in my life!" "Strip," he ordered. "It's time for your measurements. And close your mouth, Lil Dude. You look like a goldfish when you do that." Reluctantly, I pulled off my shirt and pants. Chris let out a whistle. "Good job, Lil Dude!" I looked over my body -- muscles! Not very big ones, no, but they were there! A little bulge to my arms, a little bit of curve to my pecs, a little extra width in my shoulders. And my waist was tighter and leaner looking. I looked up at Chris who was giving me a big ol' grin! "Woo hoo!" I exclaimed. Chris carefully recorded my measurements: 14 3/4 inch biceps, 40 inch chest, 28 inch waist, 23 inch quads, 15 inch calves, 15 1/2 inch neck. All of which gave me a stiffy, of course. "And, no," he continued, "we're not measuring THAT!" I thought I was going to sink through the floor. "Y'know, Lil Dude, mebbe..." "Mebbe what, Crhis?" He chuckled. "Mebbe never mind. Let's go lift!" And that ws the other interesting thing. All this past week I did exactly the same weight, every day, always crapping out after the 10th or 12th rep, always blowing it when I tried to go up in weight. Today, though... Maybe I was inspired by having Chris take my measurements. We started with bench, like we always do. When I got to the 12th rep, I realized I could keep going. Chris wasn't really paying attention -- at first! *Then* he noticed. "Woah, Lil Dude," he said when I racked the bar -- something he'd always helped me do before. "How many was that...?" I grinned. "I counted 20," I told him. He whistled. "Let's see if we can go up some." He added a 5 lb. weight to each end. I did 12 reps, no sweat. He added a 10 lb. weight to each end. Ditto. Next he reached for the 5s again. I shook my head. "Let's try two 10s on each side," I suggested. He frowned. "Are you sure?" I shrugged my shoulders -- man, they felt nice! He loaded the bar as I suggested. I couldn't see him, of course, because I was looking at the bar, but I heard him suck in his breath when I did the first eight reps without pause. By the 10th rep I was puffing. "C'mon, Lil Dude, you can do it, babe." He called me "babe"? I cranked out 2 more reps before I let the bar crash back down on the rack. "Jeez, Lil Dude." I nodded. I can do the math. 265 lbs. "Not bad for a 'Lil Dude,' huh?" "Not bad at ALL, Lil Dude!" I wonder what I'll be doing next week? (to be continued) Lil Dude, Part 3 By Richard Jasper SEPT. 8TH Gym. Eat. Class. Eat. Class. Eat. Sleep. When I'm lifting, I think of eating. When I'm eating, I think of liftin. When I'm in class, I think of lifting *and* eating. When I'm sleeping, I dream of Chris. Why would anyone want to do anything else? SEPT. 11TH Woo hoo! I benched 305 lbs. today! "Dayum, Lil Dude!" Chris exclaimed when I racked the weight. "Maybe you *are* Superman!" "So when do I get to work outwiht you?" I asked. Chris chuckeld. "You're not there yet, Lil Dude. When you are, I'll let you know..." Then he picked up the barbell that I'd just benched and pumped out a couple of bicepcurls. Shit! That mo-fo is *strong*! SEPT. 18TH He's right, of course. I *hadn't* noticed. We were in the gym. I'm proud to report that I upped my bench by another 40 lbs. this week. "Lil Dude, do you ever pay attention to these other guys?" I looked around the weigh area. Come to think of it, there were at least half a dozen totally studly fellas in the weight area, a couple of 'em nearly as big as Chris, as well as a handful of hot babes. "Yeah?" "Do you see anyone else here doing bench press with three 45 lb. plates on each end?" I looked around the gym again. Well, fancy that! For that matter, I noticed that almost all those hot guys, as well as a couple of girls, seemed to be giving Chris the eye. They were certainly looking in our direction, anyway. I hadn't realized that I was part of the floorshow! "Unh uh," Chris said, reading my mind. "They're not looking at me -- they've seen me *plenty* of times! They're looking at you!" You know the rest. I blushed. *Now* I gotta do luandry. Man, I hate that! I keep buying more sweats -- I'm up to 10 pair at this point -- but I still run out. I thought I'd skip it and just wear some jeans and a button up shirt -- wrong! I couldn't get those straight leg jeans over my calves, much less my quads. Ditto, I could barely get my arms into the shirt sleeves and the buttons were just plain impossible -- they didn't reach! I guess I've gained more weight than I thought! SEPT. 25TH Uh, yeah. I've gained more weight that I thought. Chris kinda rubbed that in my face today. "Yo, Lil Dude," he said when I got to the gym. "Time to take measurements again." I spluttered. "But you said once a month, right? It's only been three weeks!" He grinned. "Yeppers. But you'd been lifting for a week when we did those numbers. You started lifting 4 weeks ago today!" In the locker room I shucked my clothes this time without his prompting me -- and then we had to stop to help this guy who fell over one of the changing benches right next to us. And I thought *I* was bad when it came to blushing! On *him* it looked real cute! "We can skip height, right? I haven't grown any taller since I was 16 -- I don't think I've grown any taller in the last 3 weeks!" Chris nodded, then pointed to the scale. Once again I looked at the ceiling while he tapped the weight into place. He let out a whistel, then announced: "182 lbs., Lil Dude!" I stared down at the scale in shock. "What?!" Chris let out an exasperated sounding snort. "Lil Dude, don't you EVER look in the mirror?" I shook my head. "Just when I'm shaving, and that's just neck up," I muttered. Chris pulled me over to the shower area. So there we were standing in front of the full length mirrors, Chris in his workout togs, me in my boxer briefs. Unbelievable. Who *was* that hunk standing next to Chris? Not nearly as big as Chris, of cours, but still! "Lil Dude, that's you, babe. You told me you wanted me to teach you how to grow, right?" I gulped. We went back to the changing area and he took my measurements. Waist: 28 inches. Quads: 26 inches. Calves: 18 inches. Chest: 46 inches. Biceps: 17.5 inches. "Lil Dude, *nobody* grows like you do. It's a fucking *honor* to help you work out." I blushed, I stammered -- I didn't know what to say. "How about returning the favor -- measure me, Lil Dude?" In a heartbeat! "But lemme put on my sweats first..." Chris shook his head. "Enough of this modesty kick, Lil Dude. You can wear sweats outside the gym if you want, but not in here. You're driving these boys crazy staying covered up all the time." I took a steadying breath. "Alright," I said, "let's get started." I adjusted the height stick. "Six Feet Two Inches." I tapped the weights into place. "Hey," I said, "didn't you say...?" "You're not the only one who knows how to grow, Lil Dude," Chris said, putting the scale in balance. I looked at the number. "255 lbs.! Shit, Chris, you're a fucking NFL lineman!" He laughed. "No way, Lil Dude. But still..." "That's 15 lbs. more than you were a month ago, right?" He nodded. "Remember what I told you about motivation?" I looked into eyes -- something I usually avoid doing. Suddenly I knew what a hamburger felt like -- was he gonna eat me up? He broke contact, looking me up and down. "Still, it ain't nothing compared to..." My brain finally kicked in. "42 lbs!" I exclaimed. "In one month," he added. Shee-it! (to be continued) Lil Dude, Part 4 by Richard Jasper SEPT. 27TH I think reality is finally setting in. Up 'til now it's escaped my notice. It just didn't occur to me what it all meant. "You're fucking amazing." That's what they told me today. The guys in the gym, that is. Right after I got through benching 405 lbs. 405 lbs. That's four 45 lb. weights on each end of a 45 lb. bar. I weigh 185 lbs. That's more than twice my bodyweight. "You're fucking amazing." No. *I* am fucking amazing! This afternoon I got a lift over to Tarzhay and bought a full length mirror to go on my closet door. "What do you need one of those for?" my ride asked. "You never wear anything but sweats!" I bought a tape measure, too. Now I'm looking at myself in the mirror. My shoulders are so broad I can't see all of myself at the same time unless I stand waaaay back from it. I just measured my arms. I've added another 1/2 inch to my biceps since Chris measured me on Friday. 18 inch guns. On me! A month ago I was a skinny geek, 5'11 and 140 lbs. Now I'm a 185 lb. musclestud. Somehow even my face is fuller and more masculine looking. And all that fur? Now I know what it's for -- on top of muscle it's totally fucking hot! Do other people like it? Do guys like it? Does Chris like it? God knows *I* like it. I never thought I'd get a raging hard on looking at myself. I was wrong. SEPT. 28TH The phone rang at 6:30 this morning. "Yo, Lil Dude!" It was Chris' deep sexy voice on the other end. "Chris...? What the fuh...?" "Amigo! No gym this morning, OK?" *That* made me sit bolt upright. "What?! What's the matter?" I nearly screeched. "Nada, Lil Dude," Chris answered, chuckling. "Remember when you asked when you'd get to see ME work out..?" I gulped. "Yeah," I answered, my voice barely above a whisper. "It's time," he said. "Meet me at the gym at 6 p.m." I barely made it through my classes. All I could think of was lifting. The fucking gigantic pecs, the fucking awesome arms, all tht fucking muscle in motion. I had to go back to my room after lunch. That helped a little bit, but not for long. At 6 p.m. I met him at the gym. I was hoping that he wouldn't notice the chubby in my sweat pants. Instead of leading me to the weight area as usual he pointed me to the locker room. "Damn," I thought. "He's gonna get an eyeful!" Instead he pulled out an ID card and swiped it through the reader attached to that door marked PRIVATE, the one I'd somehow never noticed before. "Chris!" "Big Dude!" I heard a dozen or more deep, masculine voices call out. It was another weight room, as big or bigger than the one upstairs, with just as much or more equipment, with *much* heavier weights. (I soaked all this up in a single glance...) And there were at least a dozen guys present, all of them every bit as big and built as Chris. Some were taller, some were shorter. Some beefier, some leaner. Some furry, some smooth. All appeared to be his age or older. "Yo, fellas," Chris hollered back at them. "I want you to meet Lil Dude, the one I've been telling you about." They gathered around. ALL of them were bigger than I am. The smallest was at least 220 lbs., the biggest must have been closer to 300 lbs. Gulp. "Uh, Chris," said one of the bigger ones. "He's not big enough." Another added: "And you know he's not *old* enough..." I frowned. "For what?" I asked. "To join The Club," Chris said. Somehow I *heard* the capital T and C. "The Muscle Club," said another. "Lil Dude, here's the deal," the first one said. "To join the Muscle Club you've gotta be at least 220 lbs. and you gotta be at least 21. You're what, 18? And definitely under 200 lbs, right?" I nodded. Chris cleared his throat. "But there have been exceptions," he pointed out. "Yeah," the second one replied, "there was ONE. But that guy was a freak." Chris chuckled. "I wanna show you guys something." He guided me over to the nearest flat bench. He loaded on the weights. "You ready, Lil Dude?" I grinned back at him. "Ready, Big Dude!" 405 lbs. 12 reps. The first guy let out a whistle. "That's fucking amazing!" The second guy -- turns out his name is Reggie -- offered me his hand. "You're a fucking freak, Lil Dude." Chris winked at me. "Like I said, Lil Dude." I nodded. "It's time," I added. (to be continued) Lil Dude, Part 5 By Richard Jasper OCT. 9TH Woo hoo! 200 lbs.! Of muscle. That's me! I wondered if things would change when I started working out with Chris and the other guys in the Club. The answer: Not a bit. Not faster. Not slower. Just 10 lbs. of solid muscle, same as usual. Every week. And I still have a 28 inch waist. It's just that now I have 27 inch quads, a 50 inch chest, and 19 inch biceps to go along with it. The guys on my hall have started asking me to joing them for dinner, for lunch, for pick up roundball games at the gym. The conversation is always the same. "How'd you get to be so big?" "What's it like to be so fucking built?" "How much can you bench?" "What's your BF ratio?" That last one through me until I realized it meant "bodyfat," not "boyfriend." My bench press passed 450 lbs. this week. My BF seems to be heading toward zero, albeit rather more slowly. As far as I can tell, though, it's been no more than 5 percent from about the second week on. Oh, yeah, there's that other thing. At Chris' insistence I finally started showering at the gym. It took some work but I finally managed to make myself look at the other guys -- if I sprung a woody, well, what were they gonna do about it? That's when I noticed. They were all looking at me. My muscles. My fur. My dick. "What the hey," I thought. "They're all looking at me." Why not look back? And that's when I figured it out. I always thought I was, well, y'know... Less than average! But theirs were all smaller. All of 'em! That night, after we worked out, I showered with Chris and the other guys in the Muscle Club. As usual. Only this time I looked. Hmm. "Something catch your eye, Lil Dude?" Chris asked as he was towelling off. My eyes snapped away from that lovely sight south of his navel... "So, uh, Chris," I started. "Y'know, I really haven't spent much time in teh gym. Or even around other guys..." Chris chuckled. "Lil Dude, the average is about six inches. Anything over eight inches -- like this one," he said, give his thick snake a playful shake, "is considered big." My eyes widened. "So...? "Lil Dude, that's one place you've NEVER been little, babe. How big is it when it gets really hard?" I blushed bright red. "I, uh, never measured," I confessed. I shook his head. "You're a piece of work, Lil Dude. I think you'll like what you'll find out. Just don't forget to measure *around* as well as lengthwise!" Which I just did. 9 1/2 x 7?! Gosh! OCT. 9TH Did I mention that I'm huge? No, not down there. "Hey, it's Bee Ay Oh," one of my hallmates said when I showed up for roundball this evening. "Bee Ay Oh?" He chortled and gave me a nudge. "Big All Over, doofus!" I just stood there with my jaw open. And then it hit me. I was playing roundball with seven other guys from my hall. Some shorter, some taller, most about my height. And I was bigger than ALL of them! "So, like how much *do* you weigh now?" asked Philip, the blond one. My brow furrowed. "And you want to know because...?" He colored quickly -- I thought I was bad about blushing! "Just curious," he answered. "I mean, you're really huge, but you're really lean, too. It's hard to tell." I relaxed. "210 lbs." He gulped. "Shit, man, you're 50 lbs. heavier than me!" I looked at him. "And?" Was that a trace of fear that ran across his face? "Well, nothin', man. It's just, like, y'know, I was *bigger* than you when we got here!" I grinned. "Well, you still *would* be," I said, wrapping a brawny bicep around his neck. "If you had put on about 70 lbs. of muscle..." His jaw dropped. "Is that how much you've put on? Shit, that's what, 50% more than you weighed when classes started?" I squeezed my arm a little tighter and his eyes bulged slightly. Then I ran my hand down his back and whacked his ass. "You know it, babe..." OCT. 10TH Shee-it. I've been forgetting to write about my workouts with Chris. Mostly because he leaves me speechless. He's so fucking strong! Tonight he benched 705 lbs. -- for reps! That's seven 45 lb. plates on each end of the bar! That's crazy! Even if he *does* weigh 265 lbs.! He's far and away the strongest guy in the The Club. "And you're catching up fast, Lil Dude," Chris said. Does the boy *really* know how to read my mind? "Lil Dude, think about it, babe. How much did YOU just bench?" I thought about it... "Uh, 525 lbs." He nodded. "And who else can do that much?" I frowned. "Besides you? Well, there's Reggie and Frank and...." I paused. "And...?" I blinked. "Well, no one, come to think of it." He rested his massive arms on my shoulders. He looked into my eyes. "Exactly," he said. The most intimate word I've ever heard! "You're one of the four strongest men in the Muscle Club. And you're only 18 years old..." Which made me wonder... (to be continued) Lil Dude, Part 6 By Richard Jasper OCT. 23 Fuck! Chris decided it was time to take measurements again. We started with the scales. Guess what? I gained another 10 lbs. in the past week! Are we surprised? Didn't think so! Still. 220 lbs.? Holy Shit! Then he checked my waist. It's all the way up to 29 inches. Should I go on a diet? Is an eight-pack good enough? Then my chest. 52 inches. "Uh..." I said. "Yeah," Chris said, reading my mind again. "You can forget about off the rack formal wear. Most stores don't *carry* a 52 regular, much less a 52 regular with a 22 inch drop!" Quads? 30 inches. Shall I repeat that? 30 inches! That's a fucking INCH bigtger than my waist! "You can forget about jeans, too," Chris added. Then my arms. Holy cow! 20 inches. Cold. "Welcome to my world," Chris said, chuckling. I raised my eyebrows. "You know how many men in the world can legitimately claim a 20 inch arm?" I shook my head. "Maybe one in 10,000," he replied. "And that's in THIS country. In the rest of the world, it's probably more like one in a million!" I stood there staring at them. "They look good enough to eat," said Chris, abruptly ending my reverie. "Don't they?" Then he flexed his own killer guns for my benefit. I licked my lips. "May I...?" "Measure 'em? Sure!" He tossed me the tape. Shee-it! 24 inches. So fucking huge! "You're catching up, Lil Dude..." OCT. 31 Halloween! What a hoot! I went as the Incredible Hulk. I bought a dark green wig and green bodypaint. Chris brought his clippers and trimmed my fur right down to stubble, then helped me put on the bodypaint. Oy! I had to concentrate REALLY hard not to spring a boner. Come to think of it, if the outline I saw in his shorts was any indication I don't think HE was concentrating very hard. Earlier in the day we'd gone to the Army surplus store and bought me a pair of combat boots. I know, I know, the Hulk was always barefoot but *I* wasn't gonna risk walking on any broken beer bottles. A pair of cut off burgundy sweat pants -- they'd gotten waaaaaay too tight for workout purposes -- completed the ensemble. "Shit," Chris said. "Huh...?" He pointed at my crotch. "Oh," I replied. "You think...?" He laughed. "I think you're gonna be very popular!" He was right. I made a bit of a stir at the party, and as far as I can tell it wasn't just the tightness of my sweatpants, although that probably helped. All these girls kept squealing and coming up to me to feel my pecs and my arms and my delts. They kept pinching my nipples! If they'd kept it much longer, *I* would have been the one squealing! Finally, I escaped and headed over to the punch bowl, where I was joined by Philip. You know, my hallmate; the blond one. "Jeez," he said. "You're even bigger now, aren't you?" I laughed, then stretched and scratched my abs. For a minute there I could have sworn Philip turned the exact same shade of green. "Yep," I replied. "Weighed in at 230 lbs. this morning." I squared my shoulders and flexed my lats. "Fuck, man," Philip said. "Don't do that! "Do what?" I asked. "Flex your back like that," he answered. "You make me feel like an insect." I snorted. "What are you talking about, dude? You've got a great body!" I told him. "Classic swimmer's build, man." Philip sighed. "I just wish I were bigger, that's all." I looked him up and down. "You're what? 160 lbs.?" He nodded. "And not an ounce of fat, dude," I pointed out. "Plus great lines and great proportions. You can get bigger easily. You just need to spend more time at the weights and less time in the pool." He looked shyly down at the floor. God, what a cutie! "I'm always a bit intimidated in there," he said. "I'm never sure I'm doing the right thing." I put my arm around his shoulder, then I caught sight of the two of us in the mirror. Jeez, I really DO make him look like a wee thing! "We can take care of that!" I said heartily. "Meet me in the lockerroom tomorrow morning at 7. I'll give you some pointers!" Across the room I saw Chris grinning at me. He gave me the thumbs up sign -- I wonder what *that* was for? (to be continued) Lil Dude, Part 7 By Richard Jasper NOV. 1 Well, gosh. I'm not sure what to think. I really didn't expect that to happen! Philip showed up in the locker room at exactly 7 a.m. First thing we did was take his measurements: 6 feet tall (about an inch taller than I am), 160 lbs. And like I said, *perfect* proportions -- 42 inch chest, 29 inch wasit, 23 inch quads, 15 inch biceps, 15 inch cavles, 16 inch neck. And a nice package in his shorts, but, NO, I didn't measure *that*! It was great to be back in the open weightroom. All those guys who seemed so big and intimidating back in August kept coming up to say "hi" and "how you doing?" and "can I get a spot?" Philip seemed a little miffed, at least until we got started. The the rest of the gym disappeared, as it has a way of doing when I find my focus. I took him through all the moves, emphasizing form. He's a total natural, of course, and stronger than he looks -- he benched 205 lbs. for 10 reps, no seat. We spent about an hour in the weightroom, going through ALL the exercises, ALL the machines. I kept a pair of 150 lb. dumbbells with me the whole time -- I figured I might as well get a workout, too! By the end of the hour I'd done about 30-40 sets and my arms were *really* pumped. After the workout we headed back to the dorm to shower and get ready for class. In the changing room I realized I'd overdone it a little bit. My arms were so pumped I couldn't get them over my head! I kept tugging at my white tee but it was plastered to my body like a second skin. "Uh, Philip..." I began. I looked up to find him staring at me in open amazement. "Could you...?" He came forward slowly, so that we were standing hip to hip, face to face, our noses only inches apart. Slowly he reached down and pulled my shirt up. I leaned over from the waist, extending my arms in front of me, as he pulled the soaking wet tee from my body. "You don't ever really look at your back, do you?" he whispered. I straightened up and looked at him quizzically. "Hmm, now that you mention it..." "Come over here," he said, taking my hand. The changing room had a dressing mirror, like in a clothing shop, the kind that allows you to look at your back and sides as well as your front. He stood me in front of it, then I turned so that I could see. Fuck. I don't have a back any more. I have a mountain range! Peaks and valleys. Crevasses. Canyons. Mesas. Rolling plains. So fucking broad! So fucking thick! The erector spinae twin ranges converging on Olympian traps. I heard Philip sweating. That's right. *Heard* him. It dripped off his brow and landed on the tile floor with an audible *smack*. That's when I noticed. My sweats were totally tenting, and when that thing gets going, well, Philip wasn't lying when he called me "Big All Over." He was whispering something but the blood was still ringing in my ears. "Huh...?" He gulped, then spoke up. "Can I see it...?" I looked down at him, the blond curls on his head repeated by the fine blond swirls of fuzz on his strong, supple neck. "Please." We said it as one. I gently lowered my sweats. Oh, God. I didn't know anything could feel that good. Like fire and ice together. So sweet, so soft, yet so firm and insistent. I don't know how long it went on. Without thinking, I found myself pinching my nipples. So *that's* what they're for! And then it was over and he was standing with his arms around me, beautiful face leaning against my massive chest, licking his lips. I didn't know men could purr. "Philip, I began..." He put his finger to my lips. "More later..." he said. And then he was gone. I never made it to class. I never made it to the gym -- the first day I've missed since I started in August! Crhis came by at dinner time. "You alright, Lil Dude?" I didn't know what to say. I still don't. (to be continued) Lil Dude, Part 8 By Richard Jasper NOV. 8TH (Over lunch) OMG! Patrick called. Yes, THAT Patrick! He's coming to see me! Tomorrow! Turns out Rice is having its fall break this weekend. Seems kinda late to me, but, heck, we don't even *get* a fall break! So why the hell DID he want to go to school in Houston, of all places? He could have gone HERE just as easily. Of course, if he had... Well, I wonder what it would have been like? Would Chris have paid ANY attention to me with a demigod like Patrick running around the gym? I wonder if he's gotten any bigger? God knows he couldn't get any *better*! Which reminds me: I was 240 lbs. at my weigh in this morning. "Shit, Lil Dude," Chris said, chuckling. I looked up from the read out -- they replaced the old scale with a digital one last week. "What's so funny?" I demanded. He shook his head. "Do you remember when we started this 10 weeks ago?" I frowned. "Of course. What about it?" He looked at me. "And you weighed how much?" It was my turn to laugh. "I was all of 140 lbs., soaking wet, you know that." He nodded. "And how much did *I* weigh?" Really, I am NOT normally this slow. "Oh," I said. He chuckled again. "That's right, Lil Dude. I was 240 lbs." I looked at him. "Which means...? I drew a breath. "I'm as big now as you were then!" I exclaimed. He punched my shoulder. "Bigger, Lil Dude. I'm three inches taller than you are, remember?" I look at him, all 275 lbs. of him. And then he did the most amazing thing. He pinched my nipple! And Patrick's arriving this afternoon. NOV. 11TH Patrick's come and gone. I heard the knock on the door Friday afternoon -- the day Chris pinched my nipple! -- after my last class. "Yo, it's open," I hollered. A head poked inside the door. "Excuse me, I'm looking for..." And then I was right next to him -- I practically levitated across the room! "It's so good to see you!" I exclaimed. He had the funniest look on his face. "I'm looking for..." I put my hands on his shoulders -- we're the same height, y'know, even though he's always been so much bigger than he always seemed taller, too! "Yo, Patrick, it's me!" His jaw fell open, his eyes wandered all over my body. "Robert?!" I nodded. "Who else?" He blinked. He shook his head. He rubbed his eyes with his knuckles. I thought people only did that in Three Stooges movies! "God, Patrick, it's so fucking great to see you! And, damn, I don't know what they're feeding you down at Rice but it sure agrees with you..." I dragged him into the rom, pushed him into the armchair, lightly tossed his dufflebag on my bed, and proceeded to spend the next 10 minutes talking nonstop about life at school and in the big city... Finally, he stood up and put his hand out, palm first. "Stop!" I looked at him. "Jeezus, Robert, stop blabbing and tell me what the FUCK happened to you." And then it hit me. I'd been sitting there in my gym shorts and nothing else. I grinned. "Well, I *have* been spending some time in the gym..." "Some time in the gym?" He practically squealed. "You're a total fucking monster, Robert!" I laughed. "Well, look who's talking, Mr. High School Varsity Everything. You've put on some muscle, too, right? How much?" He glared at me. "Well, yeah, about 20 lbs." he agreed. "But, shit, Robert, how big are you now?" Another one of those "oh, yeah..." moment came over me. "Well, um, now that you mention it -- 240 lbs." Patrick's whole body seemed to twitch for a moment, then he took my hand and pulled me in front of the mirror, so we could both see the same thing. "Robert, three months ago I was 190 lbs. and outweighed you by 50 fucking pounds. Now I'm up to 210 and YOU outweigh ME by 30 lbs. That's 100 lbs. in 3 months! How is that possible?!" I turned and smiled at him. "210, huh? Show me?" I reached over and pulled his shirt off in one quick swipe. Sproing! I mean, keep in mind that Patrick is far and away the studliest man to ever graduate from our high school. Another 20 lbs. of muscle was perfection on top of perfection! Half Irish, half Italian, jet black curly hair, piercing blue eyes, perfectly even, perfectly smooth olive complexion, and the perkiest, most permanently erect pair of nipples on the planet. "Jeez, Patrick, that 20 lbs. went to ALL the right places," I said, reaching out to pinch one of those nipples. He smiled and looked down. "It's nothing," he muttered. I lifted his chin so that he had to look me in the eye. "Nothing?" He shook his head. "Compared to you..." I rolled my eyes. He licked his lips. "So, Robert..." I could believe this diffident, shy guy was MY Patrick -- it made me hard as a rock. "Can I feel 'em?" "Your muscles?" "Please?" OMG. (to be continued)
