i used to be really into it, but i found all the players were obnoxious, or just plain bizarre so i guess i got frightened away. i do still collect the models though, just building and painting them is actually really rewarding, though the cost does mean i get very little new stuff, gives more time to focus on making what you have look good =)hamster mk 4 said:
Yeah, sorry about that. I probably should have done the spoiler thing with a disclaimer. Here, have some eye-bleach:Insanum said:Must...Clense...Mind...From...That...Photo...Undercover said:You need to read my postsInsanum said:
Look at how toned her boobs are..Undercover said:Crotadilian is totally right, I just personally despise steroid monkey muscleheads... It's true though, the majority of people at public (Read: NOT GOLD'S) gyms will respect your decision to get off the couch, no matter how skinny you are. And the best revenge against any asshole muscleheads that make fun of you? KEEP GOING.crotalidian said:Agree totally. also there are Gyms out there not full of jocks and to be honest in a public gym most guys, even the big muscular ones arent going to be bothered about someone who has obviously decided to get out and work on their shape. In fact most will be more than happy to provide some advice and help if your willing to askUndercover said:Easy fix, buy smaller shirts. (Badum tssssshhh!)j0z said:
If you want to get into shape and don't want to hang out with a bunch of gym monkeys who will inevitably make fun of you to feed their own fragile egos and lack of genitalia, I would get either the P90 or P90X workouts. They're fun, quick, never the same workout twice, and all you need is the space, a set of dumbells or resistance bands and a pull-up bar. The instructor Tony is hilarious and will guide you through all the exercises, the proper diet, etc. (No I don't work for him, I just believe in the program that much) If you can spare 20-30 minutes a day I guarantee you'll see results!
You also might want to look into Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning which is all bodyweight exercises requiring no weights or equipment, but its a little more hardcore than P90.
I've been doing the P90 workout for 2 weeks and have already lost 15 pounds of belly fat and increased my muscle mass by about 20%.
Nothing is hotter than a nerd with muscles. At least that's what I keep telling myself
Brains + Brawn = Babes.
GET TO IT! NO MORE EXCUSES! And that goes for all you "noodle armed" gamer geeks out there!
I watched a friend of mine turn himself from a 130 lb. "weakling" into a ripped-up, 180 lb. fat burning machine, and let me tell you, chicks dig guys that are toned and in good shape WAY more than the steroid monkey SUPER MASSIVE brick-brains.
Women that like dudes that massive generally look like this:
Scared yet?
OT: Mine's probly learning an instrument, although I'm fixing that
yea, i bet i'd enjoy that if i were rich. it always looked like fun to me. i use legos instead.hamster mk 4 said:
Hehe... I guess I could do that. Next time I WILL buy smaller shirts, it can't hurt anything.Undercover said:Easy fix, buy smaller shirts. (Badum tssssshhh!)j0z said:

I might check out those 2 video things, normally I just laugh them off as another "get ripped quick!" scam. They can't hurt.
increased muscle mass by 20% eh? well, to paraphrase the snide comments about PS3 sales, 20% increase over 10 mg is still only 12 mg of muscle mass!
Have you ever thought of a career in advertising?
I feel it really hard to get into multiplayer FPS. I mean there must be people that do nothing else but play cause I cant survive 10 seconds.
Trust me. It ain't that bad.Insanum said:
I think this depends on where you go. Sometimes, if you go to one of those high-bar pricy gyms, you might get that. In my experiences at the YMCA, it was a very friendly atmosphere, but then again, it was a pretty small gym.Clashero said:
Everyone saying about the gym should really go down and have an actual look at its members, at my local one its largely women doing cardio, some middle aged men trying to get in shape and sporty young people getting in a bit of exercise (the category I fit into), I've hardly ever seen any of the stereotypical angry muscle men. Also everyone there is very friendly and I've made a few friends who work out around the time I do. My point is it might be an entirely different scene from what you imagine.
Dude, you live in a backwards universe. I'm gunna have to call bulshit on that because that goes against every single thing I've seen in my life.Armored Prayer said:
Forum RP. It scares me.
That and most things in life. I have the innate ability to suck at 99% of the things I try, and I'd rather not bear any more humiliation.

Heheh, I remember the first time I popped into the local gym to sign up. Good way to make oneself feel incredibly puny! Still, a few months and I've managed to stick at, so it's not all bad! But yeh, there shouldn't be anything to worry about. There are always plenty of average people (like myself) at my gym.Insanum said:
I've always found the thought of taking up a martial art quite intimidating. A long time ago I had a go at Karate, but didn't really get very far. More recently, a friend tried tirelessly to get me to take up Aikido and later Ninjutsu but I never had the guts to go along to either.
j0z said:That's what I thought too the first time I saw an ad for P90, but after listening to what they had to say, and actually paying attention, it all made a LOT of sense. LOL a 20% increase in muscle mass on a 6'1" 200+ lb. frame is actually pretty good, smartass.Undercover said:Hehe... I guess I could do that.

Yeah, I sort of work in advertising, but I just make logos and websites for my clients, getting into marketing too much would be selling my soul, and Bill Hicks would never forgive me...
No man, I just like to help people improve themselves with a little encouragement, that's all.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and some other inspirational crap...
Like I said, the ones in MY school. Chances are my school is a backwards universe.Supreme Unleaded said:
