Back at the gym, Bill was getting lots of from the many gym-goers around him, signing autographs, showing off his muscles, even taking a few pics. Suddenly he hears a couple gasps around. He looks up and does the same, watching the herculean gator make his way to the front.
Frank puts on a competitive face, "Bill, the name's Frank. It's a pleasure to meet-", he sticks out his shredded arm pretty quick, Bill was too distracted by Frank's incredibly defined chest. It was so clean cut Bill thought it was cut with solid diamonds.
Frank couldn't help but blush, what with the many looks he was getting of his shirtless and ripped upper body from the attendees around him, even Bill, who puts on a look of approval. He then grabs the gator's hand to shake, "Pleasure meetin' ya! Been meaning ta see what big guys they had here in town.", He smirks. Frank chuckled making his gigantic chest puff and ripple with power.
"Very good," said Bill. "I'm impressed! Come on, I got a few protein shakes to spare. Let's talk for a bit."
"Yeah, sure thing," Frank did his best to keep his composure. Underneath that mountain of muscle was a fan screaming his head off. Frank and Bill sat next to a table next to the snack bar and Bill pulled out a couple of protein shakes for the two of them. As Frank took a sip, he felt the protein quickly nourishing his body quickly. He was even beginning to feel stronger than he was before. Frank let out a soft sigh after a gulp.
Bill started, "Frank, you're probably the biggest guy I've ever seen. I didn't think anyone could pack that much muscle." Frank blushed again. He didn't think he'd ever get this type of praise, let alone from his own personal hero. Then Bill asked the question: "What's your secret?" All the blood from Frank's cheeks and muscles flushed out of his body. What in the world was he going to say? Frank couldn't just tell Bill that he took a dip in a magical swamp that made him bigger than him. But at the same time, he hated to lie to him. Frank had to improvise.
Frank started, "I just did my routine, you know, workout. I also had a bit of a growth spurt...A really big one."
Bill chuckled. "Understatement of the year. Regardless, you look great."
"R..really?" asked Frank blushing again.
"Yeah, you got a great body and I think it'll help you fight big time in the tournament." Frank was speechless. He didn't know what to say. Before Frank could say anything, Bill finished his protein shake and got up from his seat. "So, how about showing me what you can do?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean sparring. Let's see how fight with those muscles of yours." Frank smiled thinking this day couldn't get any better. Frank nodded and followed Bill the ring in the middle of the gym. The two opponents wrapped their hands and feet with bandages to keep them safe from injury. Frank and Bill entered the ring bringing their war faces.
"Don't think I'm going to go easy on you because you're bigger!" said Bill
"Then you take the first move!" replied Frank.
"You know what they say, the first punch always wins!"
"Prove it!" Frank let out a small snarl as Bill rushed in for an attack. Bill first tried to strike Frank by his side. He only ended up hurting his hand. Frank's giant abs protected him from Bill attack. All Bill did was give him a tingling sensation where the punch was. Frank let out chuckle and looked down at Bill. "That tickled." Bill expected as such so he kicked Frank's knee to take the giant gator to his level and set the advantage to himself. However, Frank's knee was even sturdier than Frank's chest. Frank let out another laugh and grabbed Bill by his shirt. Frank lifted Bill up to his level leaving Bill hanging a few feet from the ring. "My turn," said Frank. Frank slammed Bill to the ground and placed his gigantic foot on the badger's chest. Despite the badger's legendary strength, he couldn't lift the several ton of muscle off of him. Frank counted, "1...2...3!" Frank won without breaking a sweat.
Bill manages to sit himself up on the ground, rubbing the back on his head with one hand. "Dang. You've got some real spunk in ya, that's for sure."
Franks kneels down on one blasted leg, holding out his hand, "Need help there?", he grins.
Bill smiles back, getting a firm hold of the giant's massive palm to help him up. "Heh, thanks. Not bad for a firm start. Have you ever wrestled before?"
"A little bit, but I learned from the best.", Frank winks. The truth is he never wrestled much at all, other than those times as a child when he would pretend wrestle with his stuffed animals. If he wants to get better at wrestling he may as well start getting better at it now. "I'm still a little rusty though. Wouldn't mind getting a few pointers from you, if you're available."
The badger thinks a bit to himself, "Hmm... You know what, I like that idea.", he sneers. "But as for today, I was just gonna be working out with some of the gym folk. You should tag along."
Franks wags his tail excitedly, "Sure! I'd like that!"
As they walk out towards the gym floor, Bill gives his best pal a nudge against his thick abs, "Heh. We'll be like a huge workout duo. I'd like to see just how much you can lift."
"Yeah!", Frank screams with motivation. "Uh, me too." Perfect timing. Now he can see just how much he can handle.
Once down at the gym floor it was clear they've been getting some surprised looks from almost everyone in the room. Some of the bigger fellows were just as surprised, but just tried to keep to themselves. Luckily they had the large mirror walls to look back at them. As for the two wrestling buddies, Bill starts himself off with some arm curls. Frank just thought he do the same thing. They are best buds now after all. The badger had a pair of 250's in his hands, but Frank goes for the 300-pound dumbbells. Frank was about to start, while the shredded badger was already getting into it. He made the crowd around him feel mesmerized, just staring at the bulking, hefty peaks that were his guns, and they were about ready to fire after each curl.
Frank was just as impressed, but he knew he can do just as good. The gator got to a slow start but he soon had big guns just like his idol, even bigger as a matter of fact. Bill's arms looked incredibly sinewy and shredded now as his arms were coming to a slowly, satisfying stop, "98...99...100!" The badger huffs his chest, sighing with great relief. "Always great to start off with some good arm curls. He then takes a look at his muscly alligator friend. "Whoa..."
Bill noticed how incredibly pumped and ripped Frank's arms became during the gator's workout. They grew even bigger than before. Bill could have sworn that Frank's biceps and triceps grew between each rep. He was even surprised to see visible veins on the gator's scales throbbing as they pumped blood to supply the giant. Frank paused his workout and looked at Bill. "Something wrong?" asked Frank.
"No.." said Bill. "You're just full of surprises. With those arms of yours I bet you can lift a truck!"
Frank blushed again. "I don't know about that..." he said modestly.
"I do!" responded Bill. "You threw me around that ring like I was a rag doll. You even got yourself lifting 500 pound weights!"
"What?" Did Frank hear Bill right? Frank looked at his weights and looked at the numbers printed on them saying "500 lbs." Frank let out a slight gasp. He thought the weights were lighter. If 500 lbs was light, what was considered heavy to Frank? Not only was he bigger than his own hero but stronger too! "Wow!" said Frank. "Felt lighter than that!"
Bill let out a chuckle. "Guess you don't know your own strength," he teased. The badger then turned to the weight benches. "Come on, let's see what your limit is." Frank put his weights back and followed Bill to the weight benches. Frank was so excited about pumping more iron to his already giant frame that he laid back on the bench to grab hold of the bar. Bill slid some extra weight on both sides of the bar and said, "We're going to try something a bit heavier. Let's see how 750 pounds feels to you." Frank gave Bill a thumbs up and began to press.
Bill saw Frank's arms get pumped even more. Frank felt himself getting stronger after each rep. He didn't feel tired at all, rather energized. Frank did 20 reps after putting it back in place. "How do you feel?" asked Bill.
Frank just smiled and said, "Like I'm getting warmed up!" Bill couldn't believe it. This giant gator could withstand 750 pounds! Even professional weightlifters would struggle to lift that and Frank did it without hesitation. Bill then looked at the other weights and wondered if Frank could lift 1000 pounds. Frank was an unbelievable alligator. "This is going to sound crazy," said Bill, "But I'm going to add up to a thousand pounds on the bar. Think you can handle it?"
Frank was too excited about his strength to acknowledge what Bill just said. The gator just chuckled and said, "Bring it on!" Bill put on the weights and Frank starts pumping as soon as Bill's done adding. The weight was definitely more challenging than the previous weights Frank lifted. Frank's arms bulged out even more under the stress. Frank ran out of breath at 15 reps and stopped. Frank rose up to catch his breath puffing his chest up and down. "That felt...pretty good," said Frank between breaths.
Bill widened his eyes. A thousand pounds was Frank's limit. The badger then imagined what would happen if Frank passed that limit and got even stronger or bigger. He then smiled and laughed. He looked at the giant gator and said, "Frank, you got yourself a future in this field of work!"
