Can anyone give me advice on strength training exercises that will get me looking masculine? I am trying to avoid developing wimpy "girl muscles."

    Oh this is gonna be good!

    I just read the MANLY MAN MUSCLE post...........

    Can I share your popcorn Charles?


    ETA: I'm WAY fat and know that I'll never develop MANLY MAN MUSCLES like some of the dudes at the gym. There is a guy who's been working out at the gyms I have and he's very buff! And he's been doing it for FOUR YEARS, he's a friend, even I have noticed that it's been gradual. I can definitely say he's not "juicing" He's pretty damn cool, (for other reasons too)

    You're probably going to have to do the same thing men do if you want masculine muscles. Eat lots of protein, Drink Pre-Workout, Do a steady strength routine adding more weight each week.

    And yet, with how fit you are...and this fact that this is in fun & games thread. Perhaps you are just pulling people's chains and not wanting real answers? Nonetheless, look into Body Building websites if that's really what you want.

    Only if you plug your nose and close your mouth while you do it. The muscle pops right out because all that pressure has to go SOMEWHERE.

    Get yourself into a situation where strength is your only solution, eat spinach from a can, and flex. Results are only temporary but damn!

    I saw a Katie Couric video than explains how you can increase your testosterone level dramatically buy standing with your feet hip-width apart and your hands on your hips for two minutes. (wonder woman/superman stance) :noway: And no, they were not kidding.:huh:

    Buy a shake weight....I hear it's great for bulking up muscles. It also helps reduce belly fat.

    I like this idea! I am SOOOO trying that next time.

    I wonder what muscles will pop first? Hope it's not my calves - cuz those are pretty manly.
