ahhh barbell. i actually have no idea where i come in with that, i usually stick to dumbbbells.

Well I use dumbbells mostly, so 40/45 on each hand.

[supersloth]

ahh ok. i can do 40's (not regularly) but i haven't been able to do 45 yet.

[KYA]

I barely made it earlier this week, 45 is definitely low rep for me. I have small man wrists, which makes stabilization more difficult.


Fun fact: I read somewhere that women are more attracted to men with smaller wrists. It was an official study or something.

[supersloth]

that's funny that's my exact problem, i could probably do more on just about every arm exercises if my wrists weren't such a weak link. it's all the goddamned typing i tell you!

and the furious masturbation, let's be honest with ourselves

Nice try, Knowles.

I saw on TV that women can actually smell a more attractive man based on genetic make up/difference. healthier people are produced by more genetically different parents apparently, like how mutts live longer than pure breads. It has something to do with birth defects and immunities to diseases. Natural selection bread it into humans and other animals.

I read somewhere that women are magically attracted to pretty much everything about me. It's crazy, I know. Couldn't hardly believe it myself.

Personally, I think it's just something in the chloroform.

Well yeah, the forearms and pecs.

An interesting read; more or less a conglomeration of studies. Quite a bit of "mights" and "mays", but something to think about. Here's a butchered run down of what's there...

The best fitness foods: What to eat before, during and after a workout

Pre-workout:
A low-glycemic-index meal: eat a meal made with "slow-release" carbohydrates (think: oatmeal, bran cereal, a whole-wheat bagel or toast) three hours before you work out.

Water: Staying hydrated can help you perform better: in one study, people who were just slightly dehydrated were typically only able to run, for example, about 75 percent as hard as usual. Hydrate pre-exercise with 2 to 3 cups of water, 2 to 3 hours before exercising.

During your workout:
Honey
Flavored water. Drinking flavored water while you're working out might make it easier to stay hydrated


Post-workout:
Chocolate milk or snack of banana and peanut butter... The carbohydrates in it will help replenish the energy stored in your muscles (called glycogen stores) and aid in muscle recovery

Tart cherry juice: Tart cherry juice delivers antioxidants that mop up the harmful free radicals produced when you exercise. And research shows that a daily dose of cherry juice may help ease inflammation that causes sore muscles

Honey during a workout? So we have a bottle of honey next to our Gatoraids? >_>

According to my doctors scale I've lost 5-6 lbs since January. Well I'm off to a slow start.
