The reason i dont go to the gym is because like most human beings, once u stop you'll look like shyte. Yes its good to look tanked when you're young but its a superficial. I've never won an argument with a gym junkie cos most will say the same thing. I play sport and do on a regular basis and occasionally do light weights but thats about it. When i see people throwing money into gyms, I wonder why they just dont go play a sport. Of course sport isn't the ultimate solution because gyms offer more services than weights and treadmills but competitive sport usually is enough for the average joe.

Fair point and I see where you're coming from with the just doing a sport comment. I used to spend about 10 hours a week training, but then stopped for my HSC a few years ago and got ridiculously unfit. After another year or so I hit the gym because I was sick of being fat, and then went back to sport and loved it.
Best thing was, because I was cross-training at the gym when I went back to sport I whooped ass over everyone just doing regular training.

Unfortunately then I started suffering from injury-itis. I'd come home after every session with something else wrong, and haven't been able to go back since, so now I just hit the gym instead...

I hit the gym up 4 times a week, bascially just want to put on a bit of size and drop the excess weight round the middle. Also helps with basketball as im now able to shoot from higher up then i used to and i can run faster and jump higher -shrug-

I think it's a great idea for you to all unite in one spot.




That way we can wipe you out in one go.

Haha, if you'd ever met me you'd know how funny that really is.

Sorry for the jack, boys. The most fun I have with gym equipment is putting it all together - then I don't use it. Then I whinge about being skinny.

Then I get drunk, and all is well.

Carry on.

Cheers,
Nik

ummmm get a life much?
u spend way to much time on here

oh wait i forgot to mention..... "the search button is ur friend"

Anyway...


Do you use any of those fandangled formula drinks and that kind of stuff mate?

reasons i got into it was cos when i was back in echuca i was managing a restaurant, n didnt have much else to do, 4pm start 2pm finish, n sleeping sucks ass. so got stuck into the gym.

was in there every second day for 1hr to 1.5hr, other days pushy riding.

also not long after i started an x body builder friend said get stuck into BABY formula (i know sounds dodgy) but baby formula has same stuff most good body building suplements(formulas) have only at a higher concentrate, only differance it tastes like s**t.

i put on 12kg in month and half (no roids) im lucky enough to bulk up easy as ive always been an active person from little same with my parents.

12kg in a month! Shyte. What happens if u drink those protein shakes and dont work out regularly? Does it just turn to fat? I've always wanted to put on a few more kilos just to look slightly more bigger but not obviously big.

yes exactly, u dont work out n drink the shakes or the formula, it will turn to fat.

the difference is just the concentrate, much higher.

check it out, oh n it costs about an 8th the price, protein shakes cost.

i went from doing light to medium machine weights 15kg etc up to 25kg n some 35kg weights.

what i was looking for was not looking like a march twat but just tone up, so after 2months i got off the formula n just continued the work out.
(then i had a bike crash after 6months, n now moved to melb n only no the doctors say i can do light weight strengthening work outs.)

damn man, that is a massive increase. i thought i used to be able to stack on weight but that is just insane.

i used to use protein shakes but couldnt really see/feel them making a difference so these days i tend to just use a magnesium supplement, a bit of fish oil and occasionally l-carnitine

serously guys check out the baby formula next time u in the supermarket there will b a few diff types choose which u want. all about the same.

i went from 60kg or so up to 71-73kg, i hate the massive bulk look so thats y i stopped, taking the formula, so i didnt keep getting bigger bigger n bigger.

its like tanning find the colour u want then go back onece to twice a week so u keep your colour.

oh by the way im only a little guy. im about 5"8' so not the tallest guy, so what i do put on looks bigger than most people.

Spot on. I'd say putting on some more muscle bulk would be a better way of looking bigger than putting on fat though

Oh yeah i didn't mean i was going to put it on and just grow a gut haha. I need more fat to convert it into muscle. Right now i think i'm orright tone wise for my height/build but i wanted to add on another 5kg or so. If i did put on 5kg and turn it into muscle then i stop, would i lose the muscle but still keep the weight?
