xD you men! It's definitely a snake. Garter snake, maybe? I'm not sure. He sure seemed sweet though. D'awww!

LOL Rowland <3

I weigh the same that I weighed back in 2002, cept now it's more muscle.
Dropped down from 200-210 to 165 between 05-07, now in a more sedentary work pattern i weigh back around 200 again, but I don't look like an anorexic like I did in 05 and 07, so I fit into an average weight bracket for my height(6 ft).
It needs to stop raining out all the time so I can dig my bike out, haven't done any real cardio work since last years first snow.

Anyone who tells you bands are an alternative to weights or chin ups is bullshitting you.

I use plates myself, you can get plate weights changed for different sets pretty quickly. To be honest, two good plate sets (dumbells and barbells) along with a strong and varied push up/chin up routine should cover you. They're quick and easy to swap out for various weights, and adjust for upward difficulty. With that, you should be able to get good workout pretty cheap.

You can get these for less than 50% of what you'd pay for P90X, or just the dumbells for 50 bucks and use them along with the P90X routine, though I think P90X is really just an effective cardio/flexibility program, the small amount of resistance work in it is only to boost the weight loss from cardio, which you don't look like you need.

Then again feel free to take that with a grain of salt, since I'm not bulky anymore. I'm feeling my age lately and don't want to work to maintain size, so I've been staying leaner, but a decent weight for my height.

Since I'm posting already, guess I'll post pics.

i wouldn't say bands are terrible.. they help people tone and help cardio but they aren't good for bulking, strengthening or putting on mass.

Draylo this is something you would want


Curl bar they sell some cheap ones and you buy universal plates that can go with your curl bar and dumbbells



top one has weights that go well with a bench press bar (they do make some dumbbells that support this size weight too I think but prolly less common outside of a gym) this bottom one can usually get weights that work well with adjustable dumbbells



dumbbells that go with em look like this basically






was a good set for me when I was working out @ home without a gym or in addition to a gym for extra upper body strength. I was never sexy as Solara though.. and now I'm just fat which is a completely different problem to deal with the exact opposite of what I was dealing with for most of my life when I was a twig

yummmm

FU all now i want a peanut butter cup blizzard >_> SO MEAN

also pic incoming

Big fire! (was bigger before we got there though)

In Sweden on April 30 we celebrate "Valborgsmässoafton" (Walpurgis Night) and have huge fires and everyone drinks a ton. You can see rides and stuff for the kids in the background there.

Snake... Snake?! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!

That first bar is definitely nicer that the one I pointed out, although the second may do more harm than good for someone with no free weight experience. My suggestions were pretty much just aiming for the cheapest thing to get the job done.

The desk job thing is a battle on it's own, and I stopped smoking recently myself so I totally feel your pain on the extra work the combination makes.

nice hat :o

That is so friggen awesome, that makes Cinco de Mayo and St Pattys day look like child's play.






I always forget about someone without any free weight experience and not knowing how to properly lift, I take it for granted that we were taught in High School etc. you can definitely do more harm if you are lifting improperly like Solara pointed out.






Good luck man, I don't regret quitting in the least bit after 10 years of constant smoking. It took about a year for me to actually start putting on weight, that coupled with no longer working out is kinda what did it. Plus it's a life changer having your metabolism change.. I used to eat anything I wanted as much as I wanted and it didn't make any difference, it eventually caught up to me and I was left with terrible eating habits which I try break.

Hehe yeh it's amazing what a couple of years can do to your metabolism ><

I guess I should join in with thread :3 but I warn you it involves lycra so open at your own risk >_>

lol

mythbusters need to tackle that one.
