I wouldn't mind being Gerard Butler. He's dreamy.
Wait....what???? Damn.
It's okay, man. We've all been there.0 -

Maybe I am just out of touch, but this always worked pretty well for me: Whenever I increased my food intake and regularly lifted heavy weights, I got big muscles. Whenever I cut my food intake and did more reps, those very same muscles got ripped. But from what I can tell by this thread, I must be a fluke.

Nah, I'm not a fan of PM's. I usually don't go back and forth unless I know the person.

Ordinarily that wouldn't be a problem, except that I workout at home with only a pair of 20 lb dumbbells as free weights. An alternative would be to drive to my old school where they probably do have free weights in their gym, but I'd prefer not to abandon the equipment in my own home and make a special trip there just for that. Plus, Sarah has said what I have can work.JeffseekingV wrote: »ForecasterJason wrote: »The weight machine I use only has 10 pound increments.
I suggest you get off the machines and into the free weight room

Okay. I fail to see how that would work but okay. But keep asking questions. The amount of frustration you give to these guys is classic0 -
Yeah, I can understand ndj's point that down the road access to (heavier) free weights would really be good. Although my upper body lifts have stalled, I can tell I definitely got some newbie strength gains (I think even in real life) from the first several workouts I did with my machine. I would think given my weight and lifting stats there should still be a lot of room for me to get relatively substantially stronger and bigger over time (although I'm not trying to go at warp speed now).JeffseekingV wrote: »ForecasterJason wrote: »

You really do make me laugh sometimes. Reading the amount of useless flames you throw at everyone then trying to label someone as a troll. I think the funniest thing is you claim to be trying to help people. You really end up misunderstanding what people are saying most of the time or take people's comments out of context so you can have some semantic battle. I'm surprised the amount of backpedaling you've done hasn't created a black hole in space. IMHO of course0 -

As long as you understand the situations and the limitations of the equipment you have, then that's fine0
