My Gripe:

I just want to get this off my chest: I can't stand it when someone comes up to me at the gym, in a store, restaurant, or even family gatherings and asks for fitness advice on dieting , working out, fitness/strength training or whatever. The first thing out of their mouths, before I suggest anything (not like I am a pro or something) is: "I don't want to get big and bulky. I don't want all that muscle. I just want to get ripped. I don't want big arms. I don't want to look like a man." First off, you don't get big muscle by accident. It doesn't sneak up on you when your not looking. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to build big muscles. Second, you have to have muscle before you can rip muscle. You try to rip what you don't have and you end up looking like a plucked chicken. And "C" don't roll your eyes at me when I say that your diet is 80% of the game, working out is 10% and genetics gets the last 10%.
That's it. Ill get off the soap box now.

Hey. I'm a chick and I want to be ripped- but I'm also not stupid nor do I ask people that "appear" to be physically fit for advice. If I were you, I'd tell em to bug off!0
