    I would never pay to work out. Jogging outside, push-up and sit-ups can be done anywhere.

    You're right for the most part, much can be accomplished with pretty much nothing at all. I've exceeded my bodyweight on exercises like dips, push ups, sit ups, and pull ups to gain strength and keep growing, so additional weights are necessary, as well the variety of exercises is also necessary to break through plateaus when your body adapts to what you're doing.

    The steam sauna at the end is something I really look forward to, it extends the cardio effect quite nicely.

    So that link to the online book/methodology you posted the other day, is it something you've used as a guide or similar with success?

    Well if I wore rubber boots I think all the gay guys would start hitting on me... :D

    Actually it's bad enough I get watched sometimes when a few of them are together. They like what they see I guess.

    Wanna hear the grossest thing ever? I used to go to a worlds gym downtown close to the gay district, and they actually had to close down the hot tub because all guys kept having sex in the hot tub to the point that all the jizz kept clogging up the filter. How's that? :D

    yowza...glad I never used it.
    But you would know your feet were going to be ok.

    I have to say, you did it. You really did relay the grossest story EVER.
    Who in their right mind would use a communal hottub???? :eek:
    I have to say, I just got back from my gym...it is pretty clean but I am always so afraid to go into the shower area as I KNOW I will find something gross.
    Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
    And I don't feel right when you're gone away

    I hate it when a woman who's twice the size of me wants to know if I want to buy two tickets to her 'gun' show.
    I love to turn you on

    I can't remember which one exactly, but the transformations of the week/month stories is some really good information to digest for workout routine suggestions and diet. Excellent actually.
    Everyone is different, and it depends on what your goals are. Different methods work for different people. You have to find what works best for you, However, the basics are pretty much the same, eat above your base metabolic rate to gain mass, eat below it to lean out.

    Weight training is just something to cause damage to your muscles. The harder your train, the more muscle fibers are damaged. The strength improvements, and growth comes not when you're working out, but resting and repairing. The better you rest and repair, the quicker you'll see results. This is why diet is paramount (not to mention top quality stress free rest and relaxation). That's all Arnold did...work out like a madman then go lounge and sleep on the beach all day. It's pretty basic in principle. Just make sure to work as many muscle fibers as possible per given exercise as this triggers your body to produce the most testosterone naturally. Avoid the isolation machines as much as possible and keep to the free weights for this effect.

    Certain exercises are going to give you the best bang for the buck like squats, deadlifts, (and benchpress). Like the saying ...if you want huge arms do your squats.

    bodybuilding.com has a lot of excellent hardcore articles to browse through after reading burn the fat feed the muscle by Tom Venuto. Those two sources will tell you pretty much everything you need to know.

    Right on, thanks for the info. I started reading some of the stuff you linked to the other day.

    I have the lounging mastered, so I'm a step ahead already.

    I have another gross hot tub story. My ex used to live in a condo with a lot of old people (like 85% senior citizens). So they have an indoor pool, weight room, hot tub, sauna etc.. So I jump in the hot tub one day and after a few minutes I begin to realize the foam had bits of stuff in it, and the more I moved around and rubbed up against the sides the more noticable it became.

    So I'm like wtf? then I realize holy shit it's freaking dead skin, so I rubbed the side of the tub with my hand and a there was a thick film of dead skin scum that came off. Holy shit! All those the old people were melting apart in that damn thing. Oh man, I had the longest shower after that.

    Old people soup!

    2. Gym Music. To avoid going deaf prematurely I generally keep my IPOD turned down to a medium volume level. This also allows me to hear if the gym actually plays a decent song now and again (they don't). So imagine my suprise the other night when I heard something that sounded a bit off. I hit pause on my player to hear the sweet and tasteful sound of 2 Live Crews "Pop That P*ssy". Nice guys, nice.

    OMG! Yes!! :D I *HATE* that. And, of course it's impossible for them to play anything I would actually enjoy.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge 2Live Crew fan :rolleyes: but there's a time and place for everything, and I haven't figured out yet where the appropriate time and place for "Pop That...." is. Perhaps if Hugh Hefner ever opens a gym.
