i think this is what you mean.. I try to bulk up.. the lads from work and i go for 1 1/2 hrs a night used to be longer.......
Fav exercises are tri's and bi's.
Pretty impressive when you preacher curl 60-70kgs for 8 reps...
Its just a shame that.. Its easier to lose the muscle gained, than what it is to put it on!!!

Gym? What's a gym? LOL.

Nah, seriously, I've probably been once in the past year and it nearly killed me. No wonder I'm so skinny!

After my wife's third child she was a size 18, originally when we got together and got married she was a size 12. I really didn't care what she looked liked, because she is a great gal...and I love her to death. She eventually got frustrated with her weight, and after 2 years of hard work at the gym, she is about to enter a Female Physique competion. I'm really proud of her. She was to enter last years comp but found she was four months pregnant, 5 weeks before the comp and that ended that. In 7 weeks time from now, she will be re-attending the same comp and she looks fantastic. She has a full six pack....after 4 kids...and looks very trim, very muscular, very cut & ready for a national championship and is complaining her size 8 clothes are to big.....best thing of all is her strength...i cannot beat her in a arm restle. Her comp is at central coast leagues club on October 11th.....

Will post some before and after pics for you......



Cheers

At least they're trying to work out to loose a little extra weight, probably because of people's attitude like your own.

I think your attitude really sucks, not everyone can be supermodel material, even larger women can be beautiful & worthy of a perve!

I used to go twice a week for 6 about months. Membership was about $120 for every 3 months and there was also a signing up fee. It was pretty good and ended up buying a brand new gym set at home including boxing bag and speed ball. About a month after i bought my home gym set i havnt used it since, and it just gathers dust!. I miss waking up the next day and you cant move, i suppose i should get back into.

What really turned me off it was my mate used to come along with me to the gym and he really got into it. Mind you my mate was only 17 at the time and he was benching 290 pounds wtf?. Turns out he was on the roids so i kindov stoped after i found out. But really if you think about alot people dont work out properly they just ask "what do you you bench" and go off showing you what they can do. But in the end there are some people who train properly while others are just all talk.

hahaha lol ur gunna get flamed for that one

it comes down to what your own personal preference is, ME PRESONALY dont find that attractive and dont want it shoved in my face while im

A) trying to look at my self whilst lifting weights/working out
B) tying to preve on that hotties a$$ while she is on the tread mill whilst i also check out how much bounce her rack has
C) chatting up that PT i have been checking out for weeks

end of the day im Young, Vain and Shallow, I can be picky if i want, im young and just trying to get as much hot a$$ as posible, i dont care about how nice someones personality is when all im trying to do is get in thier pants.

Hate me if you want but i belive women were put on this earth to repoduce and continue the human race, men on the other hand just wanna get laid(at my age anyway)

YES ill grow up one day but for now let me be young and not have a care in the world coz soon enough it all goes away

Yes you are obviously young.. but thankfully most the people that are young that I deal with seem to be quite smart and decent...

Sarcasm was screaming from my other post... the laughing emoticon should have actually told you that..

Anyway back to the issue within the thread..

Today there was an announcement that the local gym here was given 6months free membership if you joined for a year.... That has to be an alright deal I was thinking...
