I guarantee if you're lifting heavy enough and working hard enough you'll start to notice changes almost immediately. Most of these changes will be "newbie gains" or your muscles just swelling with water, but it will feel good, and help keep you motivated. Your muscles will feel harder and firmer and it'll make you want to…

I've only had good experiences, personally. I got the Implanon March 2011, started trying to lose weight January 2012 and lost 60 pounds in less than a year. I gained a lot (about 30 off and on) back over the next year and a half. In March 2014 my implanon expired, and I also happened to start working out again. It's been…

Lack of excuses and surplus of waterrr Also, arm definition :smile:

Tell your mother I apologize. I meant it with the highest respects. :blushing:

I got a new membership at a gym close to home, after already lifting regularly at a gym while I was traveling. It was this exact same thing! At my gym, when you sign up, you have to have a "Welcome training session" thing where they basically just try to sell you sessions. I tried to stress to him that I wasn't just some…

I can't say that any of the times I've stumbled onto a cougar dating site that it has ever been an accident. :love:

So much variety here... So many P's. So many F's. My go-to "Pecs I'd like to Fondle"

I ALWAYS find that I feel thinner and leaner when I limit starches. I eat tons of meat, yogurt, vegetables, and a decent amount of fruit. I travel about 75% for work and eat a lot at places that don't report calories. Starches are such dangerous territory because two similar looking pieces of bread can be VASTLY different…

I lift every day. I do lower body 3 times a week Upper body 2 times a week cardio/abs focus once a week ^^ Those are rough averages, I try to take off one day a week or so, sometimes I don't.. I prefer an upper/lower split because I get longer workouts which is what I go for, and you have more freedom to choose and switch…

I don't do it, but I grew up in gymnastics, and when I joined the "Gymnasties" club in college it was mostly made up of guys who were into parkour and similar gymnastics related acrobatics. I will say, it is INTENSE. It takes incredible amounts of strength, stamina, balance, precision, speed, EVERYTHING. Personally,…

This is sort of what I'm going through right now. I'm about 190lbs, give or take 5lbs for good and bad days. And I've been this weight for months. My lowest weight was about 160 after losing 60lbs on MFP. I was about 170ish in November. I got up to about 190 by Late February/Early March. The first week of March I started…

I love this, and also the days where I'm all mentally geared to just eat some crap. Like I almost even plan it out. And then I just never do. I don't get around to it, or decide not to. Sometimes you just do what's right :smile:

I'm DEFINITELY a fat eater lol Part of that is for good reason though. I always eat my veggies first because they're the one thing I shouldn't skip. Then the rest I can eat until I'm full. Although I rarely leave anything uneaten.. :tongue: But I've always been one to save the best for last.

I definitely think I'm in shape. I can run reasonable distances, lift heavy things, and have muscles that pop out and look good, especially after a good workout. But I'm definitely thick. You can see from my pictures (they're public) what I mean. Overall, I'd be 100% happy with just maintaining if my stomach were flatter.…

There's definitely a correlation there, and it's common. I'm fairly certain it's because you're working out more, so you turn yourself on more. :tongue: At least that's what it was in my case. In other words: Bumping the thread for you

I love this! I've started increasing weight for my clean and press, and sometimes I have to add a slight knee bend/hop to get the last couple reps, but if it's what it takes to keep moving up, I'm all for it.

Because I'm totally datable and opposites attract! haha

@Monkey, is it wrong to say the best feature of your picture is the foooooood? What does that say about me? lol ETA: On second glance you have a nice natural smile in all of your pictures :)

Do you try varying between barbell and dumbell? And other chest exercises, to help supplement in different ways? It might help add to strength. Also, have you tried switching up your routine? Like doing them earlier (and hopefully heavier) in your workout some days and later (and lighter if necessary) on other days?

Bodybuilding.com has a FANTASTIC database for exercises. You go to exercises, then you can filter on muscle group (If you're looking to target different things on different days), and then I usually sort on the BB.com rating. From there you can select all the dumbbell exercises you see and like. They have videos for every…

The gym I've been going to where I'm currently working is a warehouse type gym. Nearly all guys, lots of boxing bags, most people seem to know each other and know what they're doing. For the first three weeks, I'd get a TON of stares while lifting, but no one would really make eye contact, and definitely not say hi! This…

Well, I guess thinking about it more, if I squeeze my eyes shut, and it's an intense thing, then no. I don't get dizzy. But if I were to close my eyes, take a deep breath, and squat, I'd probably trip myself up and step out of my starting stance to "catch" myself.

@wnt2, I ENVY your hip to waist ratio! So pretty!
