THIS.. except for I wonder what the hell is wrong with them when they are attractive.

How are you only 164???? I am 200+, your height, not nearly as lean, my arms are about half your size, & I bench 400+. I mean you look great, but I'd swear that you were 210+.

Pretty much. Lifting heavy is about training your CNS. If you regularly train to failure, it's hard on your body to recover from. Not saying you can find your limits once in a while, but the goal is add weight to the bar every week when you become an immediate lifter. You can't do that when your...

You and I are nearly identical. Introverted, shy, and no social circle. Hell, I get nervous posting on here. I thought about making an OLD account but what's the point? I don't even like to date myself. Basically we need a complete personality and mentality overhaul. Shy guys just get run over...

It's already been said, but lifestyles can be borrowed with high interest. You can have all sorts of nice things if you borrow for them and pay the minimum.

Sure they do. I look all around me see them with guys wearing skinny jeans. Makes me wonder why I bother going to the gym. You should still lift and gain weight though. I can't imagine navigating this world without being strong.

Stop worrying about training your forearms in isolation and start moving around heavy weights, ie deadlifts and weighted chinups.

After much self-reflection on my failings and loneliness, I wrote these pledges to myself. All of this is already documented on here but I had to write it for myself. Dear Women, Never again will I apologize for the car I drive. Never again will I apologize for my frugal spending. Never...

Day 3 of NC. This breakup happened many months ago. I was on day 34 but she texted me asking, "How is it was going." I caved and responded back, saying, "It's going well, blah, blah, blah." The bigger mistake I made was sending another text later, "Nothing has changed for me. I would still...

If you want to be big and lean there are a few things you must do. 1. Eat breakfast. Eat every 3-4 hours. You need to always keep fuel on the fire. You body needs that energy to grow. 2. Start viewing eating as less of an enjoyment and more of a necessity. Eating health requires some...

Been benching 2-3 times a week for nearly 10 years. YMMV.

So four months later... BW=205 I've been taking glucosamine and fish oil supplements to combat my knee and back pain caused by inflammation. Been able to throw heavy weight on my shoulders without an incredible amount of pain. Not 100% cured though. Squats 10x265 10x285 10x305 Bad day for...

I would focus less on worrying about feeling "the burn" and spend more time finding someone to spot you and work on benching progressively heavier weight.

I was and still kinda am in your shoes. College fills our heads with garbage. "Oh you'll be so respected. You'll be ever so smart." The truth is you know nothing and that hit you like a ton of bricks, like it hit me. When you get out in the world no one give a damn about your education...

At my job you get a discount on health insurance if you had a "health assessment." When I started there the only health question they asked you that affected premiums were smoker/non smoker. So I went in there thinking that I would be considered obese being 5'8" 205lbs. However, they did a...
