People always say I look younger. Unless I have been drinking - i age 5 years for every drink I take. I guess being more relaxed makes my face all droopy and saggy.

43 going on 34 At least that is my maturity level. My body makes sure I know it is 40+

Thanks, I just got back from the dr. He suspected tricep movements too. He is recommending ice and a tennis elbow brace. He says keep the curls and tricep exercises out. I can keep doing anything else that doesnt 'hurt'. He also gave me a few exercises to strengthen the forearm muscles - basically wrist curls. He said give…

Thanks for the feedback. Before the issue arose my workout consisted of workouts 3 times a week. A typical gym session was 1hr in length. Day 1: Squats, Deadlifts, Stiffleged Deadlifts, Standing Calf raises, Planks and weighted crunches Day 2: Barbell Rows, Wide grip Lat-pulldowns, Seated Rows, Close grip chinups, EZ…

Bump...

I am english/irish. I have bad teeth, a temper and a drinking problem... I blame it all on my ancestry. Also, I have long limbs and thin wiry muscles. I am not sure what historic significance this might hold but it certainly seems to be a common body type for the english.

Usually between 50 and 60. I think 60 is really good for a woman as their resting rates are usually higher than men. Funny story. I was in the hospital to have a dislocated shoulder relocated. They had me hooked up to a monitor that was set to go to alarm when my heart rate dropped below 50. I was relaxed and focused…

Planks got boring pretty quick but I keep them interesting by throwing in variations. - put your feet on a exercise ball - put your hands in a pushup position - throw a pushup in every 5 seconds - dip your hips every 10 seconds - throw a mountain climber in every few seconds - lift a leg - lift an alternate arm My back has…

Sir Harry Peltz Day... I am not making this up...

Pure gold!!! A 26 year old who is popular with the generation that actually buys music!!! This is a funny mashup.. http://mashable.com/2012/05/25/call-me-maybe-mashup/

Ah.. now I see it. Definitely your hands. Duh! dont I feel dumb.

I am by no means a trainer or a pro but I think your back is failing well before your legs. If you straighten your back and keep going *kitten* to gra$$ you look strong enough to do 135+. Just my humble opinion that I should keep to myself :)

Nice work!!!. That bar looks like it has little bends in it like an easy-curl? I have never seen something like that before. Anybody can leg press... Those who want results... Squat.

Hahaha.. Yeah gimme some time - I am 43 and it takes a little longer for us old guys to grow. Not to mention I am a little hard-gainer with a history of bad back (edit: who hasnt lifted in 20 years). I am doing 225x5x5. When I was 20 I did 315x5x3 which was just over 2x my weight back then. My goal is clearly in sight…

Uggghhh. I have been squatting for 4 months and am up to 225lb squats and I have not gained 1mm of size on my legs - and I am a male. I am dumping protein and food down my gullet hoping to gain some muscle... Nothing. Then OP strolls in here after lifting for a month and a half and she gains an inch of bulk.... By…

I was chubbyfat but am a hardgainer so I am going to totally skip athletic on my way to the swimmer. It sucks...

My weight was up and down and cheat days always resulted in regaining lost pounds. I bumped my calories up to near maintenance <50 calorie deficit. The up and down stopped along with the cheating. I have been losing slow and steady and gaining strength.

For me it often boils down to not eating enough earlier in the day and wanting to avoid bad choices at the end of the day. I try to plan my day and forecast what my burn will be and how many calories each meal will be. Sometimes I come up short. Then... I could reach for a bowl of ice cream and hit my calorie count in 1.5…

Pick things up and put them down... IMHO. You are not skinny fat - you are skinny. If you want definition you should hit the weights hard, lift heavy and don't overtrain. You don't need to hit the gym every day.

Disclaimer: I am not gay... Short guys should not make up for their shortfall by bulking up to the point where they walk funny. Get lean and ripped. Tall guys. Feel free to go big. It is all about proportion. My wife and I followed a tall musclehead into the grocery store the other day. I had to point him out because my…

The "tons of supplements" is an embellishment. I really am only taking protein, glutamine, a multi and fish oil. I have not been eating enough so have bumped up my calories a bit more. I have always been a hardgainer even as a young adult.

What is wrong with me that I work so hard, dump tons of supplements down my gullet and lift weights heavier than a 42 year old should but I can't bulk up. But at the same time there are hundreds of women on here that cannot touch dumbells heavier than a few ounces or they explode into musclebound shemales.

Thanks for the info. This made me look up a bunch of the spreads that someone might put on bread to compare the various macros. Here is what I found below... Bottom line is, pick your poison. Butter Salted 100 calories 11g fat 0g carbs 0g protein 81mg sodium Mayo 90 calories 10g fat 0g carbs 0g protein 90mg sodium Miracle…

I agree with asking the guy quietly doing his workout. You want the quiet guy because the loud guy is a d'bag and will probably waste your time talking about himself. There are few things I would interrupt my workout with. A newb genuinely asking for help is one of those few things.

No!!! They are a joy but they aren't for everyone. The wrong choice can ruin your life and the life of your child.

Doh! That totally came out wrong... Change that to say 'tragically some parents shake their babies'. Apologies to any single parents I may have offended.

Oh yes... Kids are incredibly frustrating. In the first few months of my daughters life she had colic. I realized why single parents shake their babies. The frustration was awful. BUT... I didnt - If anyone else put me through that I would beat them with a 9 iron. Not my own child. That is the difference. The good…

This is so true. We get so stuck on the anxieties of life. Children can turn your attention to the simple things and the anxiety can melt away. IF you take the time.
