Physical & Mental health

I'm around 5'7" - 5'8" as well, same height as when I was 13. I was actually predicted (by a machine) to grow over 6'3", but either my genes, eating little or ankle injury prevented that. I'm now actually kind of glad I didn't grow that tall because pretty much everyone around me is about that tall.

Anyway, I don't do any physical workout, and I don't plan to do any ever for neither do I see any point in it (Spike is spot on. Skinny guys make good partners although girls don't seem to understand.) nor can I ever motivate myself to do anything like that. Not to mention that I have no time for that now, but I desperately need exercise because I can tell I got a lot slower than I used to be, and running (short distance) is the only physical thing I've ever been good at.

As for my brain, well, I do lots of thinking on the toilet or in the shower (water is inspiring, so is methane), and I like to teach myself stuff like programming and languages although I never make any progress.

You are a carbon copy of myself. You must be cool.

Just back from a jog. I just go on them because they make me feel good. Nothing else.

Anyway;

I never ever listen to this genre of music really, but I found myself replaying this again and again for some reason.

I probably couldn't just press "Play" in my iTunes and sit back in my room and listen to it, but it's really decent for medium-paced cardio etc.

Some quotes I've come across today which either made me laugh, think, or that I just enjoyed:

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." - T. E. Lawrence

"Your workout is my warm up."

"Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with £86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening, the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day. What would you do? Draw out every penny, of course? Each of us has such a bank. Its name is time. Every morning, it credits you with 86.400 seconds. Every night, it writes off as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft. Each day, it opens a new account for you. Each night, it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day’s deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against “tomorrow.” You must live in the present on today’s deposits. Invest it so as to get it from the utmost health, happiness, and success. The clock is running. Make the most of today."

Great topic :)

Age: 21

Height: 5'11" / 180cm

Starting Weight: 165lbs / 75kgs

Current Weight: 177 lbs / 80kg

BMI: 24.7

Objective: Gain muscle, be stronger and look good with/without clothes :D Maintain bodyfat of 12-14%

Programmes P90X & weight-lifting

Supplements: Creatine and protein powder

Started out with P90X, which at first was very challenging, but now I'm only doing Shoulders & arms and the rest in the gym... especially chest because body-weight excercises don't give as good gains as good old barbell compound movements. I'd recommend creatine to everyone, who do weight training... it 'pumps' water into your muscle fibers, gives you strenght and the power to lift heavier / lift for more reps, but make sure you dont over-do it - may put too much stress on kidneys. Plus some people already have high levels of creatine in their body. I've been struggling with high-ish blood pressure (140-150 / 80) in the past and thus I'm trying to finish every workout with 10-20 min cardio.. also planning on doing one pure cardio day.. e.g jogging.

Been working out for 3-4 years now, but spent the last year in the army (compulsory military service) and lost a lot of my bodyweight/muscle mass - gained stamina and mental strenght... and now I'm back on the road of recovery so to say.

There are lots of youtube channels that give good advice on what to do and how to do it, but atm my favourite is TwinMuscleWorkout.. check it out. :)

Age:16 (soon)

Heght: 5'8 ish

weight:178lbs

BMI:27.4

Objective: its to get the abs and be comfortable taking shirt off as the above^poster said. Not really trying to gain muscles on top of muscles, but to be cut and slim. I have a feeling my body lay-out is pretty stocky although my dad was tall and thin guess its too early to tell. try and Get body fat% of 4%. and be 150lbs all muscles by June. but weight is not my primary concern,, becasue we all know muscle weighs more than fat sooo in reality i dont really have weight target.

The month of December im doing it on my own. Mondays and Thurdays no time to workout due to work right after school but Tues, Wednsesday and Friday is all Home Dumbbell workouts & ABs. On Saturday and Sunday go running two days in a row and one of those days i do another dumbell workout. The problem with me is i miss a day and suddenly that adds to 1,2,3,4 and then its fuck this shit i'll start next season. But its finally hit me hard i gotta improve body because this face can't do all the work. :D Not trying to starve myself just eating right and all should be good. Only thing im cutting down on is carbohydrates and eating plenty of greens and proteins.

Im hoping to buy p90x in january on my B-Day and hopefully by April have those ABs. hahaha
