"Shower separately?"
"Yeah that seems easier," I said. "You first."
Neither Rachel nor I disliked the idea of a sexy joint shower, but after a second afternoon of hot & sweaty strength workouts and fucking, we were both famished. Feeling each other up in the tub would delay getting food - much-needed fuel for the start of our bodybuilding journey.
Rachel's toned, muscular butt walked out the bedroom door, and I picked up off the floor all the clothes we'd ripped off each other. I was still wearing my running shoes! After I'd eaten Rachel out and made her quiver and cum, she'd been in such a hurry to ride my dick that she'd pulled my shorts clean over my shoes.
I kicked off my shoes and socks, and stood fully naked in Rachel's bedroom. I examined my body in her full-length mirror. I had some muscle - a little bit of definition in the abs, though not a lot. I tensed up into a bicep flex and my arms grew in size to 18 inches, though they looked out of proportion to my near-flat pectorals. I'd never had good luck building chest meat, and that irked me. Though knowing how Rachel could motivate a man during the bench press..
The memory of yesterday's bench press blowjob made me stir downstairs. I reached one hand to my rapidly stiffening cock, and tensed my torso as I rubbed my other hand all over my chest muscles, looking in the mirror. I was getting horny imagining my future progress as a bodybuilder.. Rachel and I hadn't even started on this journey but already it was turning me on.
I squeezed and pumped my dick slow and hard as I felt myself up: pecs, abs, bicep, tricep, glutes. The prospect of becoming a huge, cut bodybuilder alongside my fitness model girlfriend was driving me wild.
Well she definitely wasn't my girlfriend yet! We'd only met yesterday. But maybe.
At that moment, Rachel walked back through the door, naked, and saw me posing, rubbing my own muscles in the mirror, and rubbing more besides.
"Having fun, are we?"
My hands jumped away from my body suddenly, guilty at getting caught. But Rachel didn't mind.
"Flex for me."
I obeyed: tensing my abs, pecs, hamstrings, doing a double bicep flex with my 9-inch cock standing to attention. Rachel stood in the doorway and did the same flex: OH MY GOD how her abs popped, framed by her firm boobs and cute little pussy. Plus her biceps and triceps weren't meager either.
Keeping her pose, she walked over to me then ran her hands all over my arms, kissing my right bicep and moving her mouth down my torso directly to my rigid cock. Just before she took my manhood into her mouth she said to me:
"You look all right now but I cannot wait until you're bodybuilder huge. Keep flexing."
She wrapped her luscious lips around my penis, put one hand on my glutes and the other hand on my abs. I tensed both as I kept flexing my biceps and triceps in the mirror.
Rachel was not in the mood to take her time: she started jacking me off as fast as her mouth would allow, I ran my fingers through her blonde hair, and it wasn't long before I reached climax. As my knees buckled just a little, Rachel kept her lips tight around my engorged head, keeping every last drop of cum inside her mouth. She swallowed theatrically once I was fully spent.
"Hurry up and shower. I'm hungry for real food."

That night we shared a Thai meal - our first proper date. It was the first time I saw Rachel in more clothes than just a sports bra and yoga pants - she wore a yellow blouse and blue jeans, but she still looked absolutely bangin'. One dinner led to another, to another, to more park workouts, and to more sexercise.
We enjoyed the Chicago summer together: cycling the lakefront, seeing bands, and sunbathing on the pitiful Lake Michigan beaches. Chicago's a great place to spend your 20s. I had my day job in the suburbs, but Rachel had more leisure time than me: she eventually told me she had become independently wealthy after winning $4 million in the state lottery. Living off the interest meant she could keep a comfortable lifestyle without having to work a job. Lucky her.
Rachel and I also tried out different fitness coaches, looking for the right fit for our bodybuilding journey. We found Pete: he used to be a pro bodybuilder but had retired about ten years ago, when he was in his mid-30s.
Pete's gym was a one-man operation: he had space in a North Side warehouse with a huge variety of weights and machines. He'd founded PB Lifts to train serious muscleheads: dedicated lifters, most of whom were working towards powerlifting or bodybuilding competitions, or had already done so. If you became Pete's client, you were joining a community, and you could come and go from the gym as you pleased.
It wasn't long before Rachel and I got to know the regulars: "Hey Tim!" "Yo Rachel!" "Need a spotter?" We learned about upcoming competitions in Milwaukee, in Naperville, in Cleveland - everyone was working towards something slightly different and was supportive as hell.
PB Lifts was also very much shirts-optional. When Rachel and I first walked in, our eyes went wide at all of the bare jacked torsos and lean mid-sections, fantastically fit humans pushing themselves hard and enjoying the sight of each other. Pete believed you did movements with better form if you could see your muscles properly, so ladies largely stuck to sports bras and men went barechested. Worked for us! Less laundry, plus neither of us were complaining about the view.
Through the community, we learned about the different classes of posing competitions: Physique, Classic Physique and Bodybuilding for men; and a bewildering array of categories for women.
Pete advised me to go for Classic Physique. For a generally slimmer guy like me, it didn't need as much hulking enormous muscle as Bodybuilding, but he was frank: I would still need to lose a lot of body fat with a strict diet, while packing on muscle particularly in my quads, hamstrings and glutes. No skipping leg day for me.
