in Introduce Yourself
I've been using t his site for 2days now and I think I've only ran across 1 guy ( that added me anyway). I don't get it, you go to a body building forum and its nothing but testosterone in the air. Are there any guys that use this site regularly that wanna friend me?

    I'm not on here all that regularly, but I really should be. ever since I was diagnosed with gastroparisis my primary goal has been to maintain my weight I have discovered that short duration high intensity workouts has done wonders for my appetite and logging my food has helped a great deal in figuring out what causes problems. now that I'm in training for a marathon logging my info is going to be much more important.

    Thanks guys, this thread actually helped. You guys mind saying a little something about your lifting routine. I do a push/pull split.

    Day1 (push): Incline/decline/flat Bench, Triceps EXt's, Dumbbell Fly's, Push ups, Skull Crushers, Dips, Cable Cross over, AB'S

    Day2 (pull): Chin ups, Seated rows, Barbell Rows, Dumbbell rows, Barbell Curls and Dumbbell Curls, and AB'S

    Day 3 (Legs): Squats, Leg Press, Calve Raises, Dumbbell Lounge's, and AB's

    I do Ab's daily and cardio when I'm feeling up to it (I'm working on that). After day 3 go back to day1

    I sent a friend request your way. I'm still doing mostly cardio work, but my ultimate goal is to get fit with 10% body fat or less. I'm slowly adding more weight training to the mix.

    I normally work opposing push/pull muscles on the same day. Cardio is 30 minutes every morning Monday - Friday. I do strength training at night.

    Monday = chest/back
    Tuesday = triceps/biceps, abs
    Wed = Rest
    Thurs = shoulders, abs
    Friday (or Saturday morning)= legs
    Sunday = Rest

    I need to work in another day for legs somewhere. I'm going to try to squeeze that in on Wed night when I can. Other than that my current side project is to get awesome at chin-ups and then transition to wide grip pull ups so I work in 5x8 of these a couple times a week.

    I've noticed that too. It seems like the majority of people here are women looking to lose weight. I'm a guy looking to 'cut' some while maintaining (and hopefully increasing some) my muscle mass before going on a clean bulk in a few months. I want to lose some pounds, but my weight loss goals are much more mild than what many of the women are on here for, so it's nice to see some other guys who are training primarily for strength or muscle growth as well.

    My routine is basically like Starting Strength (full body routine focused on compound lifts, 3x a week), but I've added a few other lifts in it because I'm comfortable with my body being able to handle a bit more volume. Whether you follow Starting Strength or not, it's definitely something worth looking into and reading about because there's a lot to learn from Mark Rippetoe (its author and training coach): http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/Starting_Strength_Wiki

    Also, if anyone who reads this thread wants to add me,please feel free to. Looking for more friends on here. :)

    I've never really been into moving the weights around. I mostly use cardio but I am interested in learning more about resistance training. I have all the equipment...around here somewhere...under all these clothes maybe? I'm all about motivation and accountability so feel free to add me.

    I do full body training because my goals are more functional than aesthetic. I'm all about the strength, power, flexibility, speed, endurance gains.

    Thats funny that you mention that. When i first got on here I couldn't get guys to friend me. I think those are the ones that are just here to troll on woman. But now I have a few dudes and they have been great support. I love my female friends but sometimes you need your Wolf Pack.

    My milkshake brings all the boys to my FL.

    ^^Not exactly true, but roughly half of my friends are men. They're outnumbered on the site, but they're definitely out there.

    Some girls Love training hard, eating clean. Playing with paleo, and currently experimenting BCAs instead of whey for fun. Lift, bike, run, climb. Interested in moving into more power lifting, figureing out logistics, as I usually work out at home. Goal: Get as lean and fit as I possibly can.
