37, taken, scuba instructor Fail...you were 6 years off! lolol

29 year old single opera singer

tldr...just here to say what has probably been said already: Attitude, confidence, sexiness, personality. All are not dependent on weight....and all are attractive traits.

Jim Stoppani's "Shortcut to Shred" program is like this. He has low rep then high rep days and follows a similar split. For me though, i split up the shoulders cuz pushing puts a lot of emphasis on the front delt and pulling puts a lot of emphasis on the rear delt. So i do front delts on push day and rear/mid delts on pull…

Leave a note on their computer keyboard and a message on their cellphone. Then just leave cuz you've earned your vacation and you're damn well gonna take it! I like to talk to my boss as if I'm going to be there next week and then when I don't show up I'll send him pictures of my feet in the sand...he always appreciates…

I'm in the same boat. I've got hard muscles and thinning skin but the thinning skin is kind of loose and floppy. From what i've read, it depends how long your skin has been stretched as to how long it will take to tighten back up but reducing body fat to very low levels is the fastest way to get it to tighten up. For me,…

When I "run" its around 9-12mph When I "jog" its around 6-9mph I used to run track when i was a kid...got to the 5:50ish time to run a mile. 2 years ago, at 225lbs, it would take me about 10-12 minutes to jog/walk a mile. Today at 185, I could probably do one in 7 minutes or slightly under if I was on a track and pushing…

i started lifting by doing the concentric portion of a dip every time i got out of my office chair...whatever gets you moving! lol

I've been doing the Push Pull Legs split for a long time now...almost a year. I like it. I do it 6 days a week so i hit each group twice/week. ...probably why both of my elbows are pissed off right now. (about to take a serious break...)

I wander around parking lots and search for those who don't put their cart away...as soon as they get in their car i position their cart right behind their vehicle and hide in the nearest bush...

Cinnamon Bun

August 2013 roughly 25% bodyfat: Last week roughly 13-14% bodyfat: Hopefully 10-11% by October!

Smucker's Natural Creamy mmmmmmm

I hate when people think muscle and fat weigh the same and spew "A pound of fat weighs the same as a pound of muscle" A pound of the Empire State Building weighs the same as a pound of feathers...so the Empire State Building and feathers weigh the same?

I love all milk. When i'm hot and need something refreshing...skim milk. When i'm hungry and dont want to eat anything...whole milk... There is a time and place for all milk and I don't discriminate...I even tried my wife's home made milk and it was sugary and delicious! :tongue:

I will break things down into components sometimes...like when i eat japanese. I'll count the chicken bites, the steak bites, the button mushrooms, the broccoli, and the rice and estimate how much of each they used. Then i'll add a few tbsp of teriyaki and soy sauces plus vegetable oil...and a store bought yum yum sauce.…

I lowered mine by limiting salt intake, lowering caffeine intake, reducing alcohol, losing weight, and increasing exercise....although I think the biggest change in blood pressure came when I decided to stop worrying and I lowered my stress levels. I don't stress about much anymore and I don't worry about things I can't…

I'm with you on the belly. You can almost see my abs when i'm standing up but when i sit down i look fat as I ever did. What I have read about the flabby skin though is that it takes time to tighten back up. If you drop your body fat percentage low enough your skin will want to tighten up but it could take months or years…

Good as in tasty? I think Hardees has a couple good ones. KFC was not bad. BK and McD aren't so great IMO...Arby's I think had one that was pretty good unless i'm thinking of somewhere else. Cookout was alright.

Eggs Oats Banana Skim Milk Broccoli Kinda surprised at how healthy that looks...way to go me...

Good looking suit with a well done knot

True...i didn't explain that very well...and also true that I don't know the OPs stats. The research I've been reading...some of which can be found here: http://www.alanaragon.com/articles Is GENERALLY suggesting 2.3-3.1g per kg which ended up being roughly close to 1-1.5g/pound of lean mass. More than 1.5 is overkill and…

Agreed... I repeat...get your friend out now! It won't get better. Think about how much it'll suck for her 3 years down the road when they are married and she catches him doing something worse...then theres the separation paperwork...the waiting period...

I agree...any time you look at a mass gainer, read the label and find out where the calories are coming from. The majority of them are no better (and some actually worse) than eating a double cheeseburger from McDonalds...and I'd rather have the cheeseburger than the taste of some of those gainers.

You look like an artist sculpted your face

Excellent resource right there :drinker: Alan Aragon FTMFW!

Oh yeah...follow a good full body lifting program...lift heavy, lift hard, lift often...but make sure each muscle gets plenty of rest between lifting days so it can fully recover and GROW. Make sure all your pulling muscles, pushing muscles, and leg muscles get stimulated...free weights and compound lifts to activate your…

From things i've recently read, people are putting on unnecessary fat when they try to bulk. You don't have to eat like a horse to gain muscle. Doing so will gain more fat than muscle. You should definitely get your 1-1.5g of protein per pound of lean body mass... around 30% of your calories from fats... and then you…

A dude that cheats is not happy with his girl. Therefore...the girl needs to get out. If a dude is not happy with his girl...he cannot just become happy...the girl needs to get out. In my experience...those who cheat repeatedly cheat until they find someone that they don't want to cheat on. She is obviously not that dude's…
