Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

hahaha poor janson
Tube wanna be my workout buddy
I'll spot you so good
No, I have small, delicate hands, wrists, feet and ankles, which makes my pretty hefty, muscular calves/upper arms look even more ridiculous.
But I suppose it's better than having mankles. I do struggle to find knee-high boots that will fit around my calves, but if I wear normal shoes my legs look quite nice. And I've learned that 3/4 length sleeves show off my wrists, and bracelets hang nice and loose on those.

My downfall is in having few clothes, so that I end up wearing my nice clothes to work, and then t-shirts and jeans at other times. Occasionally when I make some effort people are surprised!
Skirts are flattering on me but also not the most practical attire.
I do this to work, but it's only about a 5 minute ride.
I can start cycling at home. I'd bike to school, but it's already an hour bus ride.
I do a bunch of plyometrics, combined with some weight training. Got my vertical up to 32" this summer
anyway, I really want to get some twenty pound ones
Pyramid sets (7-11 reps X 4 sets ascending\descending to muscle failure)
Preacher curls (ez-bar & bench)
Set 1: 155lb - wrists in
Set 2: 170lb - wrists out
Rest
Set 3: 180lbs - wrists out
Set 4: 165lbs - wrists in, to failure
Sitting hammer curls (alternating, sit on flat bench, back straight)
Set 1: 65lb
Set 2: 80lb
Rest
Set 3: 90lb
Set 4: 75lb (to failure)
Diamond\close-grip bench press (ez-bar, flat bench)
Set 1: 135lb
Set 2: 150lb
Rest
Set 3: 175lb
Set 4: 160lb (to failure)
Single-hand dumbell press (flat bench, hold dumbell flat in palm and press behind head)
Set 1: 45lb
Set 2: 55lb
Rest
Set 3: 75lb
Set 4: 60lb
By now your arms will be on fire, but do not rest for more than 5 minutes. Almost done, I promise.
Straight-bar standing curls
Set 1: 135lb
Set 2: 145lb
Rest
Set 3: 155lb (to failure)
Rope-pulldowns (I switch off between single and double-hand pulldowns, depending on what is available)
Set 1: 90lb
Set 2: 110lb
Rest
Set 3: 125lb (to failure)
Finish off with reverse-grip straight bar curls. This movement will make your forearms scream in agony, so start light and go with high reps
Set 1-2-3: 45lbs, max reps to failure each set
Be sure to mix up your sets and movements every week or two. Throw in some concentration curls, bench dips and diamond push-ups, for example.
Martial Arts. Tae Kwon Do specifically. REALLY heavy on the plyometrics. I still think the best workouts are sparring, rock climbing, and swimming. Do any of those on a regular basis and you'll pretty much be in good shape.
a lot of gyms have a wall or a boulder. Actually bouldering is the best way to start out. You only go about 5 feet off the ground, and it requires pretty much no equip. But yeah, climbing walls are a little bit harder to find than tread mills. It's totally worth it if you can find one though.
I feel the same way since I started biking everywhere.
It sucks during the summer though because people think I suffer from hyperhidrosis.
If you are just bouldering equipment is practically nothing...just shoes. And if you want to be safe, a crash pad. Also if you prefer, then chalk.
But then it goes upwards from that point. For sport climbing, after the initial costs of harness, shoes, quickdraws, belay device and rope. That is all you need for a long time, and are probably looking at around 400ish depending on what you get.
But traditional climbing? It can be a bit expensive to jump right into.
First thing I'm going to buy are new running shoes.
Then a bike.

Dude, there are tons of places around here that offer it, unless you're talking about davis, in which case fuck off fagmo.
I was thinking of traditional climbing, cockmunch. I know Encore and places like that offer rock walls. But when he was talking about the awesomeness of rock climbing I figured he was talking about climbing a mountain or some shit. I don't find rock walls that entertaining.
Hows work?
Last day an all.
Getting fired.
For shame dude.
Oh I left work like an hour ago. Finally some vacation time before I head off to school.
How was your work? Wait... ooooooh
Why would you say that I dont have a jo- Oooooooh
You're a real bastard.
My sophomore year of college I started running 2 miles a day, drank nothing but water, and completely eliminated sweets. I dropped to 150 in 3 months.
Now I lift weights, drink protein like water, and use ju jitsu and judo for cardio. Life is good doggies. Not having man boobs
is sooo good.
Now I'm 175 of muscle and KICK YOU IN THE FACE
I got into wrestling today at my school, mainly for the exercise. So I hope it speeds up my tone

YAY
I hope I don't get fat
Hey staying notfat is good motivation though I suppose.
I managed to do it, but I looked somewhat retarded, so I just did weighted situps, weighted boxing combos, and a ton of pushups/pullups. Having a busted ankle really helps motivate you, as well as make you desperate for it to heal quicker.
