Uh ... maybe not so much. :hmmm: there is more to riding a bike than figuring out how to start it and where the brakes and shifters are. It may take you another 15 ... even 20 minutes.

I had an ex-g/f that I remained friends with and who I also had frequent casual sex with tell me that I had "TDC" ... total d!ck control. Apparently, I did my part and did it well. 8^ ) She told one of her girlfriends about the whole experience, and she cornered me in a bar one night, told me...

I learn something new every day. Thanks for the info.

I've noticed that since I've stepped up my upper body lifting I've been waking up at night with that "tingling" feeling in my hands like they've fallen asleep. This has happened several times now. I'm guessing this is poor circulation. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Should I be...

Well, you could just tell them you can get back to them when you aren't pressed for time, no? Unless it was your responsibility to educate/train another, I'd figure out a polite way to 'brush them off' when time is tight. Since you take the time to help out it doesn't sound like you're a...

I wish I knew what was best. Before I started lifting staying lean was almost effortless. Since then my appetite is twice what it was and although I've gained a lot of muscle weight I have a bit of the flab going too. Now that the nice weather is here again I can ride my bike more, that's an...

NO contest ... nice ass. There's NOTHING like a fine sexy bootie in my book. Yeaa. (spoken in my best Ladies' Man voice) Nick

I use free weights when I work out with someone, a combinating of free weights and machines when I work out alone (which is 1/3 of the time). I think mixing it up is a good idea. The fact that I can lift more weight on a machine than on a bench tells me that the machine is either doing more...

I started working out with the goal of getting stronger and hopefully avoiding any more serious injuries as a result of my main activity, mountain biking. My bro told me "you wear all that armor and protection, what you should do is put on some muscle, MUSCLE is the best protection you can...

I also work my entire body. In fact, when I started training I was 'leg strong' from years of biking and my upper body was way underdeveloped by comparison. Now that I'm starting to catch up, I really have the upper hand over the MANY people in the gym that neglect their legs. Nick6

Not me ... I think I'm fianlly getting a handle on my poor diet, working out 5 days + running and visably dropping fat. I've gained 5 pounds, yet look like I lost 10 pounds from my belly! I feel great these days, I'm looking better too. The whole reason I started working out was to try and...

I used to eat fast food all the time, but I've started to see real results since I've been watching my diet and I'm not giving that up now! My one vice that I can't seem to give up (and is probably the worst thing I could pick) are hot wings. I'm a pepper freak, love lotsa hot stuff, and can't...

Thanks for your tips and feedback everyone. -(nm)-

( sorry if this topic has been beat to death in the past ) I'm really trying to target the center of my upper chest, right below my neckline. I've been doing incline dumbell presses, incline flys, the pec fly machine, pushups ... I can see results in that my chest seems broader "outside" or...

Aside from Winter months, I ride my bike about 100 miles a week. Now that it's colder, I run or do the eliptical machine at the gym for 45 - 60 minutes every weekday before my workout, then I'm usually on my bike again anywhere from 4 to 10 hours on the weekend depending on the weather. Since...
