Anyone who knows me knows that I'm unnaturally weak and unnaturally skinny (think of a stick, then twice the skinnyness :P). So I've finally decided to get off me but and get meself some weights. Some few weeks on I now have VISABLE BUMPAGE! 8)
So my ultimate plan is slowly coming to fruitation! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
If you're serious about putting on some muscle, it would probably be better to put on a few kilos, then tone & build it up. You're seriously skinny dood. :P
ruin, i know how you feel .. i used to be damn skinny (5'11 and only 60kg :shock: ) that was untill i discovered beer :) and put on 10 kg over a month :shock:
Was just taking a shot at Ruin. Besides, I didn't day he was a musclehead, just that he was *BECOMING* one, by wanting to buy a car you are one step closer to being a petrol head than someone who doesn't.
Ruin has taken two steps towards becoming a musclehead (Actually caring about his muscles, and admiring his own muscles). There is not obsessive about his muscles enough yet to be a muscle head, but he is closer to being one.
But then, lets not classify people. This was meant as a quick-shot at ruin, nothing more.
I got a $700 weights and bench in my shed I haven't used in 3-4 years.
Did it for one summer got top heavy (with out realising) rocked up to footy with everyone saying what happened to you (no 'roids btw). Muscle ment less speed etc so stopped doing weights and now it is just a beer gut :P
(I was benching 3 sets of 15 with 100kg on the bar no spotter and doing 21's with 50+ on the ezycurl)
If ya wanna tone ya arms 21's still do rock. Bit of a fatigue work out though.
21's = bicep curls 7 low, 7 high, 7 all the way with no break. low = from straight arm to 90deg high = from 90deg to up all the way
cains ya good and proper if done right.
damn now I sound like a muscle head so just to verify I have not done anything but drink and play on computers for years so any size I still have is just fat :P
Problem is rec, I can't seem to put on ANY fat whatsoever 8) Must all come out in pimples :P
Eaglehawk, I used to be like you. Actually took it as an evil sorta thing to care about stuff like muscles, but it gives me confidence and strength of course. And hopefully it'll get me some chicks ^_^ Or a chick, doesn't matter to me ^_^ I don't think I'll ever be a muscle head, these weights are the means to an end, not the end itself _~
As part of the plan, I've also got me some acne pills, and by the end of this year, I should have my braces off, then viola! You've got DROP DEAD SEXEH RUIN and his hordes of adoring women :P

Geez, women just love to think we're two dimensional people who only want sex :cry: The statement should more be like "And all that just to get love" I mean, how is any girl gonna give me a chance if I'm a pimple farming, train tracks skinny fuck. I'm sick of it and I've had enough.
LOL Ruin, you want to put on the pounds? go work for McDonalds as a closing grill crew member - If the manager isn't a total prick, you get to eat as much as you want of the leftover food - if that hasn't thrown a few pounds on you after 6 months, then I officially hate you :P lucky bastard getting to eat whatever you want *grin*

Well, Not Maccas, but close enough :( and no fat to be seen for miles - I guess you hate me :P

Ruin, trust me on this one, I'm not a hell of a lot older than you, but that stage passes. Eventually, you get to an age (as do the women type) where some women, the better ones in this case. are actually willing to give you a shot, regardless of whether you're a super-bonds-model or not. Sure they still have standards, but you'll find they're much more accepting of who you actually are, rather than if you look like Mr.Perfect.
But yeah, muscles are probably a way of gaining that first attraction and interest, although if a girl only wants to get to know you better because you look good, it's probably not the ideal type of interest you'd wanna be recieving anyway - Unless of course you stimply want a fuck-buddy or a one-nighter.
but your upper body muscles are just extra weight.
Plus, with more inertia (due to mass) you lose turning/stopping ability.
Look at me -> I'm horribly unfit but I can run pretty fast when I need to. Long legs and a mass of about 40-50Kg, leg muscles get a little exercise from the constant walking about that I do but its mostly just low weight that gives me that.
You need to feel good about yourself so that you can appear confident. Chicks like confidence but that doesn't mean you have to be an arrogant pig. So you have to look at all the fucked up stuff in your life that causes you trouble and change it. Stop chasing after chicks... just forget about them. The point is that you have to concentrate on YOU. Once you feel good about yourself the confidence will come and the chicks will see it. Well.. that's how it's meant to work anyway.
Also remember that anything like running will make you lose weight and keep you skinny. That also goes for weights too though. I can't remember how it all works with the reps, etc... but you need to keep your heart rate down as even doing weights can be cardio to an extent and have the opposite effect that you want.
Anyway GL with it ruin. I would do weights too but it's hard getting motivated :)
Blue, the muscle building is part of a year long plan to get me a life so to speak :P
Muscle building, acne pills, finally being finished with the braces (3 yeras even though they said 18 months? :cry: ) Is the looks side of it. Which will get me confidence (already is) and hopefully indirectly make me a better person ^_^
hmm.. I'm in a sort of year long life improvement too.. 6 months in and nothing's happened yet. Maybe I should actually DO something :D Infact, that's it! If YOU are going to do something then I am too lol.. now if only I can go to bed at a reasonable time, get up at a reasonable time (instead of 2:30pm today for example) and GO GO GO.
It's all about attitude dude, if you come across as confident, intelligent and thoughtful, the girls will be falling over themselves (well, k, slight exaggeration, but anyway :P) but if you need to do this to focus yourself, then good on ya - having a plan isn't a bad thing at all
I'm not sure exactly how I relate to people, it sorta changes depending on my mood :cry:
It's sometimes really hard to be nice to people when there's so much shit flying around. But I'm generally much better than most people (my age :P) and try to bring intelligence and humour to what I say, but sometimes it's too much.
Instead of taking pills to stop acne, which affects the hormones in the body and screw up both putting on fat and mussel, use benzyl peroxide creams. 2.5% so it doesn’t burn your face and use moisturizing cream. Don’t touch the pimples as irritation spreads them, pop them only when they are too big and you are sure they will pop out. Imploding pimples are disastrous. Use moisturizing cream once a day, after you shave and if there are any cuts on the face. Use the 2.5% cream at night only if your sure there are no cuts on the face as that would have a reverse effect with irritation. Best if you apply the cream just before you go to bed so you don’t notice the dull burning sensation. After about two weeks the skin starts to temporarily change and there will be noticeably less outbreaks and this routine becomes easier to keep up. Try not to wash the face with soap or water.
The pills I'm taking are antibiotics which stops the bacteria that cause acne multiplying which then they eventually die. I don't think it effects the hormones at all... and the ONLY side effects I heard of from the doc that got em for me says the skin might be a little prone to sunburn in summer.
I have tried many many creams and all that, all to no avail. They might help a little bit but they don't get rid of the cause of the problem. I do use a moisturiser once a day (when mum remembers to buy more for me :x ) though to clean up the pores.
Besides, sometimes I just can't help popping those zits!
