First of all YES!! You really do not have anything to worry about. It takes a very long time to build enough muscle to be/look "bulky". Just starting out, weight lifting will tone and tighten.

Nude walkers in the locker room. It seems like every decade older you get, the more comfortable you are with less clothing. Grampa, stop shaving with your balls on the sink and put some clothes on. I'm usually cool with someone working in on a machine that I'm using, but don't change the weight, change the handles on the…

The 2 things that really surprised me are: Bisquits from Popeye's Chicken - 260 cals/ea Beer - even Lite Beer has 60-90 cals/ea which isn't bad if you have 1, but have 10 on a friday or saturday and your whole day is shot.

You are definately need to give yourself at least 48hrs of recovery time when lifting weights. The soreness you feel is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. Average time for DOMS is 24-48hrs. Depending on the muscle group you work, it can last longer. Another important thing to remember is, if you are doing seperate…

I love my new gym, but the worst thing about my old gym was the nude walkers. It seems like every decade older you get, the less clothes you want to wear in the locker rooms. Every morning I would go to the gym there would be a gaggle of 70+ guys walking around, shaving, chatting w/ each other, all naked

Nobody? Nobody has an opinion on this matter?

Losing weight and changing your eating habits/lifestyle are hard enough. Adding an unsupportive (and self-centered, insecure) significant other makes it nearly impossible. Luckily you have you MFP friends to help you out as well as your real friends that compliment you. Congrats on your progress so far and good luck w/…

Too much protein can lead to kidney stones, however you need to consistantly consume a lot of protein to do that. The thing to watch for in protein consumption is the body can only handle between 35g and 50g at a time. Anything more than that is either discarded or stored at fat for later. So all the guys using the protein…

Judging from your profile pics you already have a few tattoos, so where you get them will all depend on what you already have, what you intend to get later and as previously stated before, whether or not you'll have more kids. IMO, never get a spouse/significant other's name tattooed on you. I know it sounds superstitious,…

The actual amount is 1g per kilogram of body weight. It's been exploited and misquoted for years by Protein companies that want to sell more product. body weight in lbs / 2.2 = body weight in Kgs. So if you weigh 225lbs, you should be consuming 102g of protein a day. This includes your daily meals and post-workout drinks.

Foam rolling is an awesome way to relieve soreness and break up the lactic acid crystals within the muscles. One important thing to remember is when doing the back, always go to one side or the other. Never go directly on the spine. One of the most painful, yet rewarding places to roll is the IT band(the middle of the…
