Are these women for hire anywhere?

I know what you are talking about! My pants are worn around my hips like most people and right at the point where the top of the pants sit there is an accumulation of fat, its called dun-lop disease. Yet the part where my belt cinches around my hips there is no fat. I think my pants and belt have formed this accumulation.…

39? No problem there. One of my favorite people at the gym is 39 and she is super cute.

Even in a cradle carry?

If I was going to go out in a bikini then I would keep going, if not I would take it easy and just recomp.

I find that I do really well at HIIT endurance training programs. It's exhaustive but I feel great when its over.

I am curious to know how much weight you lift in various lifts? Can you give some of your best lifts and/or how much you lift for reps on average?

It depends. Are you hot? Some time ago there were a couple of attractive ladies at the gym who would sing around me when I was in the weight room with them. If someone else entered the room they would stop but would pick back up again when it was just us. I did not find it to be annoying because I thought they were pretty…

I don't think she's in a terrible marriage at all, but even if she were I don't want to get involved in any of that. So you are right, I am just focusing on the friendship. Really we are more just acquaintances in my mind but I want to know how to tell if her acts of friendship are genuine or if she just feels obligated to…

The community I live in, it might as well be 1953.

Eh, her husband is already pretty wealthy, they live in one of the nicest subdivisions in our community.

If you are a reasonably attractive female and in the weight room then yes he is into you.

I do respect her, I don't even fantasize about anything inappropriate with her. But I want to know what signs she might give if she secretly has a little crush on me and even if she doesn't have a crush how can I know if her friendliness is something she feels obligated to do or if she really does want to be friends with…

I'm not asking a married woman out to coffee, hypothetically.

I don't want a relationship with her, I just want to know how she feels about me, if she has a little crush and/or really wants to be friends or if she's just being kind and friendly because she must but secretly she despises me. It's like an itch inside your shoe at the bottom of your foot that you just gotta scratch. Now…

Mrs. Hand will always have a place in my pants...err heart.

It is just a matter of preference. Some people just don't have the drive to push themselves longer than their phosphocreatine lasts. I also feel like there is less variety in strength training, as many on MFP have said, strength training consists of 'picking up heavy things and putting them down' then repeat. Sounds fun…

I tell myself that I will exercise harder tomorrow.

I have long legs too, 6'0" tall, so I really stride out my runs.

Myself I never run more than one mile at a time, because I cannot endure it well. Usually I run it between 6:00 to 6:20.

I do not like running on a treadmill, but I still do a mile run on the treadmill after many of my workouts just to elevate my heart rate. However in general I love games and sports that involve running, and I like to run in situations like that, basically its like sprint intervals I suppose.

This could be looked at in many different ways, strength, endurance, athleticism, physical appearance, health numbers, etc. I suppose it depends on who you ask.

This is only relative to strength though. There are so many more aspects to being fit that could/should be considered, in addition to weight lifting numbers. Not everyone is a bodybuilder or weight lifter.

For me it has always had to do with how I perform athletically, and not so much with how I look physically. When I consider myself fit I usually have very good endurance and lots of energy and explosiveness when doing physical activity. Of course there is always room for improvement.

This is nonsense. I spin regularly as part of my routine and my legs have not 'retained water' and become 'bloated'. In fact my thighs have lost inches from spinning, and they weren't even that big to begin with.

Moral of this story is don't talk to people while they are lifting, it's inconsiderate. Wait till they have finished their set at least.

Are you sure you have realistic goals for your body?

Hmmm, what are my chances of adding enough muscle during the bulk that it will not be negated again when I try to cut the cut afterward? Sounds like recomp is a better option for me.

I don't really care if I gain more muscle I just want to look better. Which method (bulk or recomp) carries the greatest risk of getting fat again?

Do I need to bulk? I already weigh 185 lbs and I worked so hard to lose the weight I lost, I'm a little hesitant to put weight back on.
