With my sitch, getting a life was a huge catalyst in making things better.....
Awesome post Storm, it dovetails into the thread quite nicely! I shave my chest too so you're not alone, LOL! When my chest hair started turning grey I was like "OK that's it, say goodbye" Plus if we invest all that time in the gym why not show it off as fully as possible I don't walk around the gym naked but man it gets hot in there in the summer (Crossfit box with no A/C) and sometimes I do take my shirt off in the middle of a workout because I feel like I can't breathe. Nothing like having guys 20 years younger come up and say "man I hope I look like you when I'm your age, or now for that matter" I don't need the ego boost, but I enjoy it!
