WHY.... why are you "hoping" for a little..... when the answer to a real tangible results requires REAL commitment and not just "a little"
I don't understand why you're clinging to hope for a tiny tiny maybe when a resounding push of calories and training will get you what you want.
What advantage are you hoping to gain? What could you possible get out of that?
Building muscle is hard enough- you are literally hammy stringing yourself and practically setting yourself up for failure.

My question has- and continues to be WHY would you want to do that?
Another thing, while I can certainly find out, I'm not even 100% positive that my nearest campus gym even has the right equipment. I know at one point they didn't even have a bar for pullups.
Are you kidding??? You don't know "how to"? Have you read any of your own thread? This thread? Unreal.
And your campus may not have the right equipment, which equipment? The machine?
I set foot in that gym once or twice, but it's been too long for me to remember what exactly they have. If the pictures I'm seeing online are accurate for this particular gym, it does indeed look like they have machines, but I can't tell if there are free weights.
So what you're saying is that you'll only be happy if they have machines? Free weights are no good? Barbells are no good?

You mean what's in the background at the far end of the room? I was focused on the left of the mascot, which sure looks like a machine to me.ForecasterJason wrote: »

Have you ever seen a free weight, a dumbbell? Because they are right in the first picture.
You have a "machine", that gym has more than 1 machine. Even Planet Fitness would be better than your 1 "machine"

I have to chuckle at the head banging this is causing people0

So maybe the "dumbbells" that I thought I have in my own gym aren't really dumbbells and are called something else. I honestly didn't see anything in those pictures that looked like them.0

I admit Jason, you got me. Superior troll man.0

Campus gym offers body composition tests, fitness tests, and program planning....
BTW best thing you can do with your setup is to take a sledge hammer too it, that's the best workout you can ever hope to get out of it.0 -
Well, I'm not the only one in the family that uses the machine, so selling it or doing anything else to it is not an option, lol.Wheelhouse15 wrote: »Campus gym offers body composition tests, fitness tests, and program planning....

I'd have to check plane tickets.. And things .. Also. .. the things about strangers and not getting turned into a sock puppet. Also important. As long as I'm not paying paying or or if pocket to travel I'd do it! Lmao I love meeting new peeps! We should have a bulkers lift meet up. That would be awesome sauce.0

That lifters meet up sounds like a idea. An all-you-can eat is definitely mandatory for that!0 -

I want in on this meet up after March. I still have 3.6 lb to cut to make the 181 lb weight class for my next PL meet. Then I'm probably bulking. Heck - if nothing else - I'll bulk for a weekend.

ha, I always thought an MFP party would be freaking awesome...0

I'd love to be a part of this meetup, even though I just started with MFP and the whole bulking process. I live in Virginia, too - just next to MD!,0
-
So since several of us are spread out on the East Coast from Florida to NYC, sounds like Maryland or Virginia is actually not a bad place for a middle ground, though not quite exactly in the middle.
