Well congrats on the progress!

Sometimes it seems like you are progressing SOOOOOOO SLLOOOOOOOOWWWWWW. But you gotta keep plugging away.... results come, you just have to work hard and be patient! Sucks, huh?

And it is not just appearance. James Henderson is a perfect example of how someone can be incredibly strong based soley on genetics. I have watched the man train on several occasions. On one occasion, he had to ask what someone was doing. They were performing dumbbell rows. The man has managed to bench 711 pounds, in a lift that deserved the three white lights it received, with no bench shirt. He also did this with no fixed program, no coach, no working knowledge of anatomy and phsiology, no boat, no life, no motor car, as clueless as can be.

JAMES HENDERSON aka. The Shirtless Sheriff

6'4" 385...and the true definition of a genetic freak. People like him remind me of Superman...they are strong without having to work at it. Giving him all the respect in the world...I am more in impressed with a "Batman" sort of a guy...a normal guy that had to put in the work.

It's the same with all those people...

Guys and girls alike..You know who you are...all those ones that can eat whatever they want and never gain a ounce of fat...it all just melts away mysteriously.

I hate those people!

we5happy, I know exactly what you are talking about! I see all these skinny girls in class eating candybars everyday.

What I really hate are the slim attractive girls at the gym that just sit around and talk and flirt with the personal trainers. I hardly ever see them working out. And there I am busting my butt and it seems like I'm not getting anywhere. (well, maybe I am a little but not very quick!)

"My problem area is my rear and thighs. Although I need to loose fat everywhere. Also what would be a good weight to start lifting. Does it just depend on what you can do? "

ya you should lift as heavy as you can as long as you use the proper form (technique), use the number of reps your supposed to on the routine you have, and warm up before and stretch properly afterward.

you can either warm up using some cardio, doing 5-10 minutes of cardio before you start the weights, but i think most people on here prefer to warm up by simply doing the exercise they plan with a light weight they can easily handle, which is at least as effective and has the advantages that it doesn`t tire you as much and lets you practise your form again before you start.

Great Idea!

The whole doing the exercise with less wieght to warm up... That is good. I usually just do some deap stretches and jump right in!

That idea seems like it would feel good to.

I dont go to the gym a lot but when I do...I notice that a lot of the girls are there for some kind of fashion show and to pick up! Then they go home and eat a tub of Ice cream the bitches!

Don't worry our after pics will look just as good and well have the know how and be proud to say that we worked hard for it and will work hard to keep it that way...Who need ice cream anyway?

This thread has gone off in so many directions.

I generally read everyones posts, no matter who they are and what they are about. Although my attention span can't always handle the huge articles that scroll down for 20 pages, I give them a shot though.

Regarding the ice cream. I do cardio in our apartment complexes gym and people are always leaving muffin papers and regular coke cans in the cup holders! At least your ice cream divas wait until they get home.

Now that is funny!

No doubt, eh? Right in the gym! Ha!

That is a riot!
