Would you be offended by a male stranger who walked up to you, called you a girl, and started treating you as if you were ignorant and who didn't know anything and had to be coddled and must have her hand held as you walk across the street?
That wasn't the impression I got from the OP at all. I think folks are being too sensitive. Should he grovel at the feet of the rest of the self-proclaimed "experts" posting here, just because they've been around awhile? I don't think so personally but to each their own.
Ah, a WK, every good thread needs one.0 -

Not an expert, but also not trying to hide behind "not wanting to get too bulky" as an excuse for not looking very strong at all.0 -

And his first friend hasn't logged on for 24 months. So, yeah, how did this person accept a FR from a new member?
That's the missus, she don't use the app anymore
Technically, if your posts and comments are seen as harassment or misinformation, you can be banned from the site. Honestly, I doubt that will happen but you should be aware of the possibility.I dont think I've harassed or give any misinformation, but thanks for the info
And now we know why you've decided to become a female friend collector.

Its got to beat spending years on a treadmill/cross trainer, cardio has its benefits no doubt I'm just saying more folks should incorporate weight training too

I did weight train but it's so discouraging when the only advice is NROL or Stronglifts that BOTH NEED A BIG BARBELL. I don't have access to them with the uni gym membership I have! If someone could give me a good dumbbell routine that will actually work I'd be all for going back to it, as I did quite enjoy it. I need to know something will work before I can commit to it, and me making up routines by compiling random exercises from the internet does not feel like it's gonna do anything, and will be a waste of time - hence no motivation....
Can anyone help with dumbbell ideas?
(Also anyone weighing in on the woman/girl thing who doesn't identify as female can frankly *kitten* right off)
bodybuilding.com has a lot of good programs and it is easier to choose the type of program you want based on the equipment you have access to. It's a little bit of a confusing site so don't check it out until you have a decent amount of time to really go through it. It also has an app, so you can follow along with the workout as you go.
