Alright guys. Been a couple days, still been gymming it up.. Was supposed to go Thursday but had an extremely long firefighting class (hose lays!) in which i got extremely wet and tired.. and got kidnapped by two friends of mine right after who insisted that i come make white mac n cheese with them at [bleep]ing midnight.. So i went friday. it was whatever, same ol same ol. Arms + Chest on friday. Just got back from going today, Back + Shoulders, Squats, and a shower. Ate a grilled chicken sandwich, protein shake, and beans:]

Alright.. had to work all day today but went to the gym for about an hour and fifteen minutes.. it's now 12:20am:O. Worked back and shoulders today, threw in some triceps/biceps and squats as well.. Feeling good. Enjoying my cookies and cream protein shake and like 4882 pieces of salami:]

Oh. Right. Guess I really didn't think that too. I've been weighing in at the gym after i do my workout.. it's convenient and accurate lol. I'll make sure to weight myself in the morning from now on.. My gymming today. Just have been eating and working like crazy. I also had sex in a parking lot last night for the first time, which was probably the highlight of my week. :thumbup: Cheers to everyone! Hopefully this topic keeps up long enough until we see actual progress.. lol

Like everyone said, you're going to need anything. Me and my friends used to mess around and do this, but nothing too insane. For me it seemed to be an issue of balance more so than strength. If you're able to keep your center of gravity and fling your body weight around in a controlled way, you'll be very good. But this seems like kind of a random dream.. You're going to move to the city just to practice parkour? :o

Alright guys - First Day of my routine was today. I must admit, it's sad to see how much weaker you get after not going for awhile.. Today I worked chest/arms. I also do abs every time i go. Bench Press Incline Press Cable Flys Some other pec-fly kinda thing (machine) Tricep Push thing (don't know how to explain it, you lie sideways on a bench and pull the weight behind your head, then up..) Tricep Pull-Downs Tricep kickers.. Bicep Curls (free weight, one hand) Two handed Bicep curl Another bicep curl on a machine.. is there really any other way to work biceps besides a curl? haha. Basically the weight i was doing today is alot smaller in comparison to what i used to do on a regular basis, which just makes me all the more motivated. And it was hard to wash my hair in the shower afterwards<3 Weigh in Day 1: 133.8 Weigh in Day 2: 135.5

A 5x5? Can you explain that in a little more detail? I'm assuming you mean 5 sets of 5 reps. I usually do 3x10 but will definitely try out a 5x5. And also - Bill Starr style micro-periodisation. What the hell is that haha? Didn't go to the gym today, I go every other day. Should I change that? And i also posted my maxes/height and weight and stuff if anyone has any questions or advice for me, i'm all ears!

Hello all, Well after not going to the gym for about two months I have finally decided to get back into it. I wasn't really a stranger to the 24 hour before this, but i was kind of ill-informed about weight training which is why I made this post - So that I could get some answers and kind of keep track of my progress. Day 1: 133.8 pounds. Day 2: 135.5 pounds. As of 6/19/10, I'm 5'6 and 133.8 pounds. I'm hoping to gain weight and decrease a small amount of body fat around my stomach area. Well, I guess i'll show pictures as of 6/19/2010. [spoiler=June 19th, 2010. Height - 5'6 Weight - 133.8] I know that's not a very wide array of pictures, but whatever. I also maxed out yesterday and recorded that. [spoiler=Maxes as of 6/19/2010]Maxes as of 6/19/2010 (only maxed in a few basic exercises) Squatting: 10 reps of 135 (bar included in measurements - 45 pounds.) 10 reps of 155 5 reps of 175 2 reps of 195 1 rep of 205. I just took my max to be 205, even though I was kinda tired out after doing the ones before. (80 on each side) Benching: 10 reps of 115 (bar included) 10 reps of 125 5 reps of 135 2 reps of 145 1 rep of 155 Again, took my max as 155lbs. (or 55lbs on each side) Two Arm Bicep Curls: 10 reps of 80 10 reps of 90 10 reps of 100 7 reps of 130 Took my max as 130lbs. Tricep Pull Downs (wasn't sure how to max with triceps?): 10 reps of 100 8 reps of 110 4 reps of 120 1 rep of 130 Took my max at 130(same as biceps?) I also did an exercise for my shoulders but don't know what it was called. Any questions/advice to give for strength and muscle gain (especially in the chest/back area), but pretty much all around, would be greatly appreciated. I'll try and check back on this like once a day. Thanks!

1. I wish Pokemon was real. Seriously. Do those kids even go to school? I'm pretty sure Ash Ketchum is like 10 when he starts his Pokemon journey.. 2. Naruto was real. Come on. It'd be kinda cool, except you'd always kind of.. be in pain? I'd be Rock Lee XD 3. Meh.

Congratulations.. :thumbsup: Did anyone else notice that he stole through the wall.. How do you do that :ohnoes: i'm not safe!

Because whenever I explore, I end up needing items to go farther, and when I don't have them it infuriates me to no end ([bleep]ed boots, diving helmet..etc). Once you've been around the game awhile, there isn't anything to explore to be honest. It's like trying to forget how to ride a bike and re-teach yourself. No matter how hard you try your logic tells you that cutting willows at Draynor is faster than 1 willow that you found in the wilderness. :wall:

My first and current car: a 66' Mustang Coupe :] Bought it for 3500 dollars of my own money, original everything, those old Windsor/Cleveland engines last about 300k miles, mine has 140k on it. Doesn't look very nice, it's poop brown, but hot damn it runs great and i get alot of compliments on it :thumbsup:. Good investment too, my car will never go DOWN in value unless i crash it.

I think they should have to right to marry, they deserve to be as miserable as the rest of us. The logical explanation, and my own personal viewpoint is to not call it marriage. Call it "domestic partnership" or something. Marriage is defined as between a man and a woman. All they need to do is change the word, i'm sure it wouldn't solve ALL the problems, far from it, but it would help.

Real men do not doubt the soapy-bikini method. And it's not dangerous with a net.. just be careful of slipping and kicking someone in the face. Because that has happened once.

They're awesome! My favorite thing to do is when it's really hot, get a BUNCH of people over, cover it in dish soap, and put a sprinkler underneath it (one that attaches to a hose) Way cool, slippy slidey bikini-y fun!

MY POST IS THE BIGGEST WIN EVER. =D>
