I think they're more theraputic then health benefits really, but hey, mental health is really important too :)

So what I've gathered from my last post til now is that people are being rude and putting down a guy who has guts to show his pic and ask for a little advice? Wow. Get real.

You mean that this bottle of axe and getting pumped at the same time won't attract the ladies? :(

My guess is a ton bro, you see how big that guy is right? Ask him for some tips on how you can get huge like him!! Lol

It's water being held by your muscles. I get a kick out of it actually, lol after the gym sometimes I weigh around 4 lbs more than when I left for the gym. Don't worry about it, it's not fat, and it's totally normal

When I had more to lose drinking did not affect me as badly. It kills building muscle, absolutely destroys it so I avoid it like the plague lol but if your just trying to lose some weight I can assure you that the impact is relitively small. I gave up drinking a while ago due to more personal reasons than weight loss, but…

If you live in a first world country, you will never experience starvation mode.

I run an almost identical split to yours. But I see you hit upper body 3 days in a row there. My best advice would be to do chest and tris, then throw legs day next or one of your 2 rest days, and then back and bis, after that hit a rest day. Just a suggestion, those are my two biggest upper body lift days so I try to…

I thought the same thing...now that the weight loss party of my journey is coming to an end I look back and it's amazing. Why even try? Because your worth it. That's why

Did you have a good workout today? On my big workout days I'm starving!!! Haha. So I tend to eat higher on those days

Scoop of jack3d. You'll hit it hard, trust me

100% correct!!!! I won't be counting on thanksgiving. I also will stop when I'm full tho lol. I'm not going to deny myself my moms amazing stuffing that literally takes her 3 days to prepaire or mashed potatoes and gravy, and I always get one of the legs :) they're my fav!!!! (The rest of my family mostly likes white meat)…

Icy hot, platic wrap, body wraps, etc. all have the same general idea behind them....they draw the water out making the area appar temporally smaller.....once you rehydrate your body it will be the same again

Tired after work....chug down some pre workout and by the second set you'll be wide awake and ready to lift like a champ!!!

Natural peanut butter has been a lifesaver for me...it helps me reach my fats goal and adds extra cals

Or it could be that my friends are the guys tht are married and yours are the ladies? Lol

I never say anything in situations like that. Maybe that's why a lot of my friends trust me with things they wouldn't tell some of our other friends. And if its from Facebook, and not from their mouth directly, never...never say anything. It's out there on the Internet....if your friend wanted to find that information she…

I don't understand peoples attraction to marriage....9/10 of the people I know that are my age and married hate their life....it's pretty sad actually.

I do hard labor....and lift 6 times a week. I literally do nothing else on work days. You have to make time if you really want it. Or else you'll eventually fall off anyway.

Scale doesn't matter...in the last 2 months I've lost 4 lbs....but my bf% has gone from 16.5 to 14.6. If I had only been going by the scale I would've been mad, but changes come sometimes without weight going down

Yeah man, that's crazy. Stores are "Beneath them?" It is really funny to see how woman treat clothes, for me it's a few pairs of jeans if mine are ripped, a few shirts if mine are old, and new shoes if there is literally a hole in the ones I'm wearing.

My biggest motivation is the non supporters. I show them everyday, when I workout, when I eat right, when I look and feel great....they hate it, and I love to piss them off!!!!! Lol

You could say it in like a positive way. Ex. "Wow, you look amazing!!! Now that the weights off you could build a really nice body with a good bulk!!!" Something like that. Which honestly may be the perfect thing for him :) build up some muscle, gain some weight, eat at a surplus. It may be right up his alley :)

I'm not into high maintenance girls for the most part...but that's ok because they wouldn't be interested in me anyway haha I'm a pretty blue collar guy, I drive I truck, buy my wranglers at Walmart, and work as a welder. Not many guys like me go out and get trophy wife's lol!!! I had a girlfriend once who like to go see…

I would say with the cheese, guac, and chips its 800+

Hahaha

Around here it's a basically a strength endurance program. Most people I know who do it have stopped and switched to lifting heavy, you won't get big doing crossfit. I focases on doing a ton of reps with little or no rest time, usually a timed event where you lift a certain number of reps in a small window of time,…

Lats

I use a split. Shoulders Legs/core Back/bis Chest/tris I take rest days after back/bis and chest/tris and use legs day to break up shoulders and back and bis day. Just personal preference.

I decided to try a new preworkout one time...they gave me a sample at the place to try it first. So I took it before my workout....it worked great! Too great, I kept on thinking "I can do more, I'm not even tired yet." I ended up tearing my pec and had to go to the doctor....sucked....
