As the regular poster hasn't continue this thread, I have taken upon myself to rejoice the lounge with a new appreciation post...hopefully they won't mind 🙏
Calling all fit, athletic, muscular gym fit guys (or even the guys that just like to workout) to partake and entice the masses with them muscular thighs and bulging biceps and strong shoulders and bouncing pecs and that oh so magnificent "V" line that (some) women go "AWOOOGAAH!!!" for. Come to me my gym bros...and let us bring some joy to the ones that appreciate the muscular/ athletic form 💪 |

As I was leaving a “works do”at a bar last night the bouncers called me back to ask how I train my calves (I was in shorts)
Happy to give training tips but would rather find a local lady who likes a toned OAP!

"Ladies love perving in the gym I can see🤣
Do ladies perv at the gym?

Women perv all the time. And most are not subtle. Even in the gyms. And when they are caught they pretend they are the ones offended 😂 |

Exactly this , but gyms haves realized that a lot of people go to pose , why does anyone feel the need to stand in front of a Mirror to work out !? Thankfully the fmgym I use doesn't have any !! And what is with with these high street gyms with glass fronts !! Lol |

Agreed. They should pose in front of their camera and upload it to here instead. |

Do you like leg day or do you hate it? I find it is like marmite, you either love it or hate it.
Personally I love leg day. |

Leg day is my favourite, it’s the most challenging.
As Jay Cutler said, “if you’re going to train legs and you are not feeling fear and anxiety…..yiu aren’t training hard enough”!!!
I can barely sit down at the moment 😂 |

A mirror can be handy for checking form. But probably better to film yourself and watch it back. |

Does anyone get a buzz out of weight training like people do with running,I have seen plenty of addicted runners slowly destroying their knees. Not sure I get the same buzz I tend to go into every session with a sense of fear of what's ahead . Mind you I am at my maximum lift capacity and from here it's only down hill. Same with the treadmill 3 miles as fast as possible the only twisted pleasure I get is running through a stitch but rarely get them now. Don't get me wrong as I leave it's a sense of another one in the bag ! |

Obviously any kind of training is better than none on all levels but particularly for mental health. Whether you are running, boxing or whatever. Mass I should be so lucky ha ! Everybody has a ceiling both natural or on gear and you ain't going to go past that just like lifting you will eventually reach your max weight. Everybody is different slow twitch vs fast twitch muscles etc and what works for one won't work for another.One of the best training partners I had was a tall marathon runner so fast twitch, he developed a really muscular athletic style body but also was incredibly strong and we used to push each other through knee trembling sets where you struggle to turn on the shower afterwards. I am slow twitch so low and heavy, one trick pony don't feel right doing anything else. When anybody wants a training plan I always base it on building up to point of failure. Women will go but I don't want big muscles I laugh and say unless your one in a million don't think that is going to happen! |

Mass rerely lends itself to actual strength, youll never see a ripped strong man and I found it actually effected my ability to move properly , all very well being able to bench 100 kg for a couple of reps but for what ? To look good to a minority and not be able to actually do anything 🙃
I hear people slag of over paid sports men but people dont realise just how much effort is needed to compete to there levels , I train with a couole of lower league football players and there fitness is amazing , but they have very little mass but can lift some impressive weights |

The slow twitch versus fast twitch is the other way around. Slow twitch is endurance like the marathon runner, fast twitch is power and speed. |

I think true mass can only be achieved with gear and being genetically gifted or being a rare sole and being genetically gifted alone. Sure if you are going to run a reasonable marathon you don't want a lot of muscle as they require a lot more oxygenated blood and the lungs are only so big. But there is no reason the average training person cannot perform with a fairly muscular body as long as they keep up the cardio along with weights. Myself averages 3 miles in 20 mins which is not pathetic and incorporate full range of stretching as well. But then again I don't consider myself massive but I suppose I am fairly big. |

A body building physique isn’t really useful in many other sports than body building. I weight train for strength and not size to complement my main sport of mountain biking but I love big compound lifts, but try and stay below or about 95kg in body weight, but being 6,3” I don’t look anything other than toned which is frustrating 😂 but I agree you need to be either a generic freak or take gear to be a big size. Or be 5,3”.
Science now shows a combination of strength and a good vo2 max help with longevity

I have a few body builder who I know and they all use juice is some form or another , but they like the look , none will say there actually strong or even that fit , the physically strongest man I know is 5,9 and square in body shape lol , he does no weights and has no muscle definition at all , he comes to the gym purly for the heavy bags , eats crap smokes and drinks like a fish lol , we always worry hes gonna just have a massive heart attack 🤣 but the odd occasion he has dead lifted when were messing about he always wins !! |

Never judge a book by its cover ha ! Yeah we all know someone like that who is just genetically (must stop using that word !) strong.Also I believe that some people, women included are just born to deadlift and just keep lifting heavier. Annoyingly that is not me max 140 kg ! |

"I think true mass can only be achieved with gear and being genetically gifted or being a rare sole and being genetically gifted alone. Sure if you are going to run a reasonable marathon you don't want a lot of muscle as they require a lot more oxygenated blood and the lungs are only so big. But there is no reason the average training person cannot perform with a fairly muscular body as long as they keep up the cardio along with weights. Myself averages 3 miles in 20 mins which is not pathetic and incorporate full range of stretching as well. But then again I don't consider myself massive but I suppose I am fairly big.
I have a few body builder who I know and they all use juice is some form or another , but they like the look , none will say there actually strong or even that fit , the physically strongest man I know is 5,9 and square in body shape lol , he does no weights and has no muscle definition at all , he comes to the gym purly for the heavy bags , eats crap smokes and drinks like a fish lol , we always worry hes gonna just have a massive heart attack 🤣 but the odd occasion he has dead lifted when were messing about he always wins !! Never judge a book by its cover ha ! Yeah we all know someone like that who is just genetically (must stop using that word !) strong.Also I believe that some people, women included are just born to deadlift and just keep lifting heavier. Annoyingly that is not me max 140 kg ! "
A lot of it depends on biomechanics, shorter femurs better squatter, longer arms better deadlifter etc. Whilst some can move past this the better compound lifters have some combination. For me I have relatively in proportion femurs so squat max gets up to 180 on a good day and my arms are of average length so deadlift gets up to 230. However due to years of rugby injuries and just all round dodgy shoulders my bench significantly lacks 100 on an especially good day. |

I think as long as you push yourself as hard as you can without aggravating or getting injuries then it is a good session. Keep up with the latest supplements but don't go mad with over hyped rubbish. So hard when you have reached your peak but so much fun when you first start or start back after a layoff watching the weight go up along with muscle. |
