Lift as heavy as you can without injuring yourself...push yourself to your limits...you will thank yourself for it later! Don't forget the cardio and a clean diet as well...they go hand in hand for amazing results.0

You need resistance training and a clean diet if you wanna stay lean long term. End of story.0

If you look and feel good, why does the number on the scale matter at all? I would rather be 150 and well built than 125 and skeletal.

Well you should probably lift some weights... so you can push that caps lock button down.

Why are you expending mental or emotional energy "not" doing something?
Isn't life busy enough?0 -
I think it's different for everyone. I have very high levels of testosterone, so I do bulk easily. I don't mind that in some places (arms), but don't like it as much in others (thighs/claves).
The "best" five weight lifting exercises I see recommended are deadlifts, bench presses, military presses, bent over rows and squats.
I just got a barbell set. The deadlifts are great for my butt, but I do not do squats because my legs already look "manly" and "bulky." The bench presses, military presses and bent over rows are great for defining my back, shoulders, arms and chest. I LOVE them. It feels really good to do them, and I *think* that *maybe* I am already starting to see results after only a few days. (I certainly FEEL results!) I will increase the weight as they get easier, but lower it if I start looking too masculine.
I'm sure I'll get a lot of crap from people who insist squats are the #1 exercise that no routine should be without. That's fine, but my thighs disagree. You should give your body a chance to see what it feels like to YOU. You might just like the weights after all. :-)
How do you know you have very high levels of test? Has it been medically confirmed? I'm not trying to made a point or offer snidey remarks before anyone presumes so. I'm genuinely interested.0
