Kaizen decided to get his workout in during this time, since the cafeteria was crowded. He took his pre- workout drink, and begun to stretch with some bands and a foam roller. in between each stretch he started to write down on a dry erase board what he was going to do for the day. "DUP... stupid squats..." he said as he wrote his numbers.

Just as Kaizen was writing on the board, Seijuro made his way into the gym to get some good old fashioned lifting in. He was dressed in a pair of navy blue gym shorts and a loose, white tank top that revealed the serpent tattoo that winded around and around his left arm. The Akodo was definitely strong, but his muscled were more like a swimmer's rather than bulging. When he noticed the Spider samurai, he gave the other guy a nod.
"Hey, afternoon. I know you, have seen you around here. You're Mitsu Kaizen, right?" he asked. "I'm Akodo Seijuro."

He turns around to see who it is. "Well, ya, I have been around. Im the son of... It doesnt matter who's son i am. You know him, or at least heard of him." he smirked. "and you are correct." he nods to the lion. "So what is your workout plan for today Akodo-san?" he asked as he finished writing down his workout. it looked pretty intense with 4x8 squats at the end of the workout.

"Yeah, I do." It was obviously a soft spot for the kid; Seijuro could relate all too well.
"I was thinking of some endurance training, light weights with lots of reps. I'm trying to focus on my lower body and core some to help become a better duelist. Don't have the stamina yet." He looks over to Kaizen's board, golden eyes scanning the other guy's regiment. "Your plan sounds pretty fun too, though."
The Akodo unzips his bag and fetches his towel and water bottle.

"Its a beast of a workout... if you think you can keep up." He grinned. As he finished his streatching. "Alright benching first." He set up the bar and put all the weights he needed on the side. When that was all set he begun to do his warmup sets.

Seijuro was never one to back a way from a challenge - the guy was far too prideful, at times for his own good.
"You know what? You're on, Mitsu-san." Seijuro found an empty, nearby bench and gathered an equal amount of weights as Kaizen had done. He warms up with some stretches, then gets on the bench and presses the empty barbell a few times before it was time to add more weight.

Kaizen thinks nothing of it and continues his routine. when he gets to his working weight he takes a slightly longer break. "hows the warm ups going?" he asked as he put the other safty clip on his barbell on. "speak up if you need a spot. this is pretty light for me."

Seijuro had just finished his first set by the time Mitsu had looked over to him, a small sweat starting to build on the Akodo's brow.
"Just fine. Still building up, to it just give it some time." The Lion pauses for a moment and gives the Spider a nod. "Yeah man, I'll let you know. Probably take you up on that when I work my way up."
To beyond my own working weight...

He took a swig of water and begun to do his first of 5x3. he finished pretty quick. it did seem a bit light for him. besides it was only 3 reps. "come on man, you got this." he said trying to encourage him when he got setup. "Lets Go! LIGHT WEIGHT!"

Seijuro tries to pace himself, he knew he was pushing himself past his limits. Attempting to go to a place he could not. Yet, wasn't that part of the joy of living? Striving for that once thing you could never reach with everything you have. I'm pretty sure this guy's dad might have said something like that once.
Seijuro finished the first few sets, stands and pops his fingers. "Heh, trust me I'm much harder on myself than that," he replies to Kaizen. The sweat was really pouring now, the Lion wiping his brow on the back of his forearm. He increases the weights, gets set again, and begins to lift.
