This choice: No, but I'll get you some gainer power at home! • Go Back...Chapter #6Learning About Regular Powders by: Theday   The ride is a little quiet while Tiny slowly drives to his place in the thick fog while you process what he said," Make your own luck.. Say Tiny, would you like to try out some Wishing Powder from Notz and Yeps to grow?"
"Kid, that sounds like some phoney bologna! Wishing Powder! Sounds like some weird gimmick for some kids candy. If you want results you should stick to the tried and true!" Tiny explains as he parks the truck inside the apartment building underground parking.
You were honestly surprised his truck even fit. But then again you're surprised Tiny fits anywhere.
"I got some mass powder I ain't using, you should have that a go. I think I should try to trim down for a season," Tiny chuckles turning off his truck and giving his ample gut a slap.
"I'm sure it will be back for the winter," you comment playfully.
"No doubt, can't keep a big man down," Tiny agrees getting out of his truck and you get out of the passenger side. You follow Tiny to the elevator where he takes up a lot of the room and go to the main level where Tiny's apartment is. He says he doesn't really like heights, and the bottom floor has a bigger patio space, but you think it's because he got complaints from his last place because of his massive weight walking around.
Tiny unlocks the door and holds it open for you and you get inside of his apartment and slip off your shoes and squeeze by Tiny in the narrow hallway. For a brief second you take in the massively thick gut Tiny has hidden under his shirt and see that Tiny isn't just all fat. There's a lot of muscle there. A few years ago you remember Tiny throwing Mike over his shoulders one day and threw him into the pool. Tiny works construction and has the strength to throw his weight around.
You wonder over to the living room to see Tiny's sweet entertainment system has added cool LED lights for mood and you walk up to the patio door to see that the fog is still thick.
"Better call your folks to let them know you're here," Tiny suggests as he finally frees himself from his massive size 16 extra wide work boots. You could probably fit your own shoes in his.
"Good idea," you agree and slip out your cell phone and call home.
"Hello!" your Dad answers in his friendly phone voice.
"Hey dad, it's me," you greet.
"Hey (Insert Your Name Here), where are you? Your mother is a bit worried," your Dad asks.
"I am good, I got turned around in the fog but Tiny found me so I am hanging out at his place," you explain.
"Alright, tell him that the Bucks are going to lose on Saturday," your Dad comments. The Bucks being Tiny's favorite semi professional sports team.
"Will do, I will come home once this fog lifts," you chuckle.
"Alright, see you soon," your Dad says and hangs up.
"So what did they say?" Tiny asks.
"The usual, and that it's cool," you summarize.
"That father of yours," Tiny says and clenches his fist dramatically then lets his hand down and waves you towards the kitchen," Anyway, powders."
"Yeah," you nod and sprint over to the kitchen to find Tiny dig out a few plastic containers with sports powders in them. You've seen your father and brother use them but you've never got the talk about what they are or how they work.
"So these are protein powders," Tiny presents," You add these into your daily intake and they can help you put on some mass. If you're looking to gain more muscle or fat.."
Tiny slaps his ample gut for emphasis.
"Your body needs fuel to convert to fat or to muscle. Calories go in, you burn them doing stuff and excess get stored. You, you got a pretty quick metabolism rate. That means your body is burning or dumping the extra calories instead of storing them. So you're going to either have to start eating a lot more, more frequently or add some extra to your meals," Tiny explains patting one of the containers.
"So if I wanna get thick muscles all I gotta do is down some of this stuff and work out?"
"Correct."
"And if I want to get a big belly all I gotta do is eat big and not burn any extra calories?"
"Also right," Tiny nods.
"Sounds easy," you say thinking.
"It does but our bodies are strange and interesting machines. They change all the time. Most people's metabolism speeds up during summer and slows down during the colder months," Tiny explains and takes out a glass and pours you some juice and dumps some protein powder in and gives it a stir," Like I said, gotta be consistent. Long road goals. Things don't happen over night," Tiny says and hands you the finished drink.
"Thanks," you say and take the glass and give it a chug. The juice tastes duller than usual due to the powder inside of it. After a few gulps you've finished it off.
