Just one question theomen.  Why?  Not that im dissing on you or anything but I never understood where the appeal from bodybuilding stems from.  So your big...wow.  So you can pull a tree out of the ground...wow.  Is it a hobby just like video games?  Or is it just for the ladies?

well actually its both

and yea i know this wasnt directed to me but i have the answer regardless - look at it this way girls find it attractive - when girls find you attractive and talk to you and flirt with you it makes your self esteem skyrocket and makes you feel good about yourself

thats more or less what its about - you are doing it for yourself and girls digging it is a plus on the side - bodybuilding is more then lifting weights it take mind and body and a lot of patience - its not just sit there and bench something - theres so much more then that

but like people say when you look good you feel good - thats all the reason you need

he hit it on the nose, also for me it\'s great to know that when walking down the street, if need be I could rip apart 99% of normal people in a fight.  Though I don\'t go looking for fights, it\'s nice to have there.  In addition I\'ll be joining the police force within a year, and it\'s nice to be able to easily overpower the bad guy.

one more thing, if u lift weights u know what I\'m talking about.  After u have finished your routine, u get an endorphin rush, that really rivals that of any type of drug.  It\'s because when u cause your body pain, it will respond by releasing endorphins.  If u have never felt this, u probably aren\'t working out hard enough.

Cut would problly be the most preferred.  I\'ve been working out for years off and on now but never got into it seriously, like trying to become a body builder or neything like that.  Just do it for football and other sports, but I never really see any major results.  Guess I need to lay off the junk food.

u might be overtraining, u should try a HIT/push pull program, one day work the muscles that push(triceps chest) next day work the ones that pull(Biceps back) and only do one set instead of the normal 3, do a warm up, then do 1 set to complete failure with maximum weight.  this should give u some good results, and eat alot of protein atleast 100grams a day.

Thanks alot Theo. I know I should eat alot of protien but what protien suplements would u suggest.  Durring the summer I was using the powder, which u make into a shake ofcourse.  I hear that this liquid stuff u drop into ur mouth w/an eye dropper is good but thats creatine I believe.

Wow...you guys sound pretty huge...I\'ve been looking for the motivation to get into weight lifting, but I\'ve never really found it.

Arg...what got you into weight lifting, Theomen? Just wondering, I really want to get into it, but I dont\' know what\'s stopping me.

See Yuz.

Nothing works better than to have a partner to lift weights with that shares the same passion, ur not gonna push ur self to the limit unless u have someone right there to cheer u on or better yet get right in ur face and be an a*shole.  Thats the reasons coaches yell alot because it makes u push urself.

Yeah, my whey protein is 94% whey isolate, the most protein you can buy.

Its great.

I love seeing pics of how people have achieved things, like, seeing this full on skinnny dude fully pumped, or this fat chick whose lost all these pounds and put on some muscle, its great.

Hmm, maybe this calls for a picture thread.

Also, what kinda workouts do you recommend for your chest? I have fully toned out my arms and legs, its my chest I am concentrating on now.

For protein go for a whey protein(not soy protein, not soy becuase it could be bad for males, due to the hormones in it)  I would recommend Designer Protein, or Prolab protein.  Something that is over the 20g per serving mark, don\'t go paying for that stuff thats at 30g if it\'s too much.  As for that stuff that u squirt under your tongue, that is creatine.  It\'s pretty good stuff, because you don\'t have to go through a loading phase with it.

As for chest exercises, I would say the best combo, would be a decline/flat/incline bench would work out the upper, lower, and major part of the pecs.  You could also through in some barbell presses, and some flys.  But the major amount of muscle in the chest area is going to come from bench.  And when benching don\'t be affraid of pushing yourself, do a warm up and put on 5-10lbs more weight than you think you can bench.(make sure you have a spotter, or an escape route planned.)

And as for getting amped up for weight lifting, get a partner, and a goal.  The partner will help you once you\'re in the gym, and they\'ll help you push yourself further than you normally could.  And if you have a long term and short term goal set in front of you, it can do loads of help for you.

I wish I was as hot as Bob Saget.
