discostu Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 i've pretty much stopped working out altogether due to lack of time...but ill probably pick up at least half of it over the summer. the weird thing is, if anything, im in better shape now than i was when i worked out regularly. paintball has toned my muscles incredibly...my torso is incredibly defined compared to what it was when i worked out. just tonight i was with my girlfriend and i made a comment about i have girly arms and she goes, "wow you do kinda have girly arms...except right there you have muscle." when she pointed at my bicep...which is still really small...and she poked my forearm which is like a rock from paintball (holding the gun up so much) and goes wow why do you have so much muscle there....then i go, "oh thats not where the muscle is." and i stood up and pointed at my lats and abs (shirt was already off from....stuff...we were doing earlier ) so she poked my lats and goes, "oh my god thats muscle?" she thought it was my ribcage because it was rock hard....and i credit paintball to my lats being big too. and then my abs....which is all paintball, mainly from playing the snake and snapshooting...but i cant really say what she did about that because it starts getting dirty from there :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are there... you have realy to work hard and not la la la la I make one of this... then tem min break lalalala 2 of this... and then finish... The other thing is... you need "fat" to build up your muscles, but you look skinny And it took about 1 year to see realy a result and about 3-4 years to look like a model. It`s not easy...

discostu Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 yea that was kinda using the terms loosely i guess. what i mean was it shows alot more than when i worked out regularly. i used to train for strength and now i just dont care that much, so regular activities that i do which are strenuous have been toning my muscles and it makes me look more ripped....well, at least my torso looks more ripped...my arms are still twigs. its gotta be horrible genes or something but i cant thicken my wrists at all. anyways, when i used to work out it wasnt around looking good....now i realize looking good makes alot bigger difference in my life than being strong as hell. plus my metabolism makes putting on muscle mass a bitch and a half, so im content with just having a nice body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo52285 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 you know what it is...take breaks from working out....thats what happened with me....i was like working out like crazy daily....now i have taken a break and all that working out has caught up to me.....about your wrists...i have an exercise that can tone your wrists up but i cant explain it very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostu Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 yea i was thinking about that too. that the long break might have let my muscles fully repair themselves since working out 3 times a week or sometimes even more wasnt giving much recooperation time.

Because if the muscles get used/acclimate then they wont grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I usually ride my bike between ten and thirteen hours a week right now. My coach will be cranking that up soon... during the summer it should be well over 250 miles per week. I'm going to Alabama for a week next month for some last minute endurance training before the racing season starts up... that will be about a 400 mile week.As far as strength workouts go, I don't do any weight-lifting, yet. Doubtless my coach will have me doing that eventually. Here's my normal strength routine (I just pasted the word document...):Strength Routine IILower and Upper Body MovementsBroom Stick or Arms in Front Squats: 3 sets of 8-12 repsStep-Ups (14 to 18 inch box): 3 sets of 8-12 repsPush-Ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magus Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 i don't exercise, i'm too lazy for thatbut i dance : i'm in a peruvian dances grup, and that's way more exercise : almost all of those dances involve the entire body, and doing it 2 or 3 times a week, plus the shows on weekends ar what keeps me fit ... ok, not very defined, but who cares, i'm not going to wake up at 6 am to go to a gymbesides, through dancing you get to know hot chicks, and since there are almost 3x more girls than guys who dance ( not sure how to write that, but you get the idea ) ... well, i get some pretty good opportunities inthere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
