'Sif I'd ever want to make friends at the gym anyway. Like you guys say, they just mirin my glutes, I want friends that like me for my soooul

Bahahaha oh Birds Maybe t-shirt + bitchiness will do the trick? 'Hey I like your shirt' 'Hey you clearly can't read because it's telling you to f**k off'

Hahahaha I'm not sure if the 'My snatch is better than yours' will get the result I want but it made me laugh none the less. Hahaha yeah point there Chris, can be clueless occasionally. Keep 'em coming, I'm actually quite keen to make a few shirts and test reactions

Tell me about it, that's what sucks about being a chick actually wanting to do some real work, too many distractions. Was thinking of getting a top 'I have a boyfriend so STFU and squat' ? Yep, thought so. I really don't know what's so attractive about a chick at the end of her set red faced with an expression like an infant crying. Srsly. My face gets more red than most people I know

No shame in loving your vehicle! Hehe Naw thanks dude! Hard to monitor, all the weights are different at each gym, suppose it doesn't matter as long as I'm pushing it the same amount each time!

Hard to be confident on bench press without someone to assist so didn't push that hard which was disappointing. 13/12/12 Bench Press 10x2 @ 20kg 10x2 @ 25kg 4x1 @ 30kg 6x1 @ 30kg, last reached to bottom rung only Close Grip Lat Pull Down 10x2 @ 60lbs 10x2 @ 80lbs 10x2 @ 90lbs DB Inclined Press 10x2 @ 12kg total 10x2 @ 16kg total 10x2 @ 18kg total Tricep Push Down bent bar 10x2 @ 20lbs 10x2 @ 30lbs 9x1 @ 30lbs 10x1 @ 30lbs Leg Raises 15x6

Last night went to a public gym for the first time without a man to flank me. Had three guys approach me, one old dude complimenting my form, another young dude criticising it and the third was a massively beefcake regular just chit chatting. Was highly amusing for multiple reasons. Do you guys talk to chicks when you go to the gym? If they have a guy friend with them does it deter you? Do you ever compliment other guys on their form? I'm pretty sure I know most of these answers but figure it would be interesting to know for next time I go :3

Oh no! You didn't offend me, definitely didn't mean for it to come across that way. All in good fun Mainly what I'm saying is that if girls think that by posting they will get this kind of response they will either; a) feel uncomfortable and not post b) think that posting will make them look like they're asking for attention and not post (my own personal one) or c) want the attention and post but then it's not really for fitness, it's for attention. I could piss off and go to some fitness forum with a chicks section, but I like it here and enjoy the female presence so figure I'll try my best to keep it non-attention-seeking-girl comfy Did not mean to post that much :3

Cool change just came through!!! Soooo happy, was not looking forward to a hot workout tonight.

Pretty sure I have a selfie of you somewhere I think it involves a car window. Now what shall be my ransom?

No way, POST!

lol wow, and those were the least provocative ones I could take without covering all the relevant parts. I suspected some sort of amusing reaction but I think it's about time we got back on topic, otherwise the ladies won't bother posting again

Well thanks for the enthusiasm, but they're not ready yet

Restoring this topic back to selfies. These aren't fit but they will be soon hopefully! Oh and back isn't burnt its just weird lighting :3

According to livestrong.com 'Your naturally occurring testosterone levels drop off after a week of sexual inactivity.'

Yep sweet, am working on getting weights more consistent, should have them ironed out soon. Thanks for the info!

Where are your selfies Damo?

I want to ride a motorcycle as hard as I can for maximum 15 minute blocks. On training days I do max 6 sessions of this, on race days maybe two but two days of that. My hr max is 170 if that's any indication as to how much stress I'm under while riding a training session. I do two warm up sets, two working then two max, usually unable to complete the last set. So increasing every second set. Still finding how much I'm capable so sometimes it's a bit messier than that

Ok cool thanks. Currently I do 6 sets 10 reps, do you think this is towards the long term or short term stamina? What amount of reps are best for stamina, as in where does increasing the amount of reps become useless - 20, 30, 50? I know this is probably subjective and hard to define, but even an example would be helpful. Thanks and I hope I'm not asking too many q's

Yep. I enjoyed reading that too Simon. Awesome. Question, you say low reps/high weights = high reps/low weights. So would you say that doing low reps/high weights increases muscle stamina?

Damn. All these pics make me really want to see change already. All I've managed in the last year and a half is to lose some weight know it's understandable but still sooooooooon

That. Is. Odd. O.O There will be one somewhere... I shall investigate and post on your behalf like you did for Leigh

You have absolutely no pics from when you were a child? Lostinafire?

Lol, right. Well impressive!

Thanks guys... Can't wait to get her in my garage and kiss her all over and speak sweet things in her ears/mirrors. Seriously pumped, haven't ridden the track since late Jan and it's literally been breaking my heart I miss it so much. Yeah the different locations are a little difficult for consistency, but school hollies so half in city, half at family home, then bits and pieces here and there.
