When a male runs more than 2 miles, his body begins to produce more estrogen. That's why all of the marathon runners look like women.<br />RJhttp://verisoeconomica.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-60800725237147151782013-03-01T12:26:05.200-08:002013-03-01T12:26:05.200-08:00CAP!

Do you do high weight - low rep (like 12 reps) because once you have proper form and break times figured out, those regiments end up being some of the most manly things yo do during the week.<br /><br />Only physical? Well it helps your brain for starters, so after the workout your mind is benefiting not just from the endorphins bt the improved blood flow. And I would even argue (as an epistemological agnostic) that it's healthy for the soul. You are constantly pushing yourself to the breaking point and then triumphing. No matter how hard it is, you overcome that shit.<br /><br />I'd recommend getting some kettlebells and working out with those.<br /><br /><br />Also get a goal. Not just 'workout' every day, but weight gains/losses, strength gains, ect ect. Once you have a goal and regime and work on it for 30 days you'll have the habit down pat and it will improve your life immensely.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01779315949856257145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-64475848910678918842013-03-01T12:12:33.550-08:002013-03-01T12:12:33.550-08:00"It's boring.

But it's difficult to describe the rush of confidence and sense of accomplishment you feel once lifting becomes a habit. <br /><br />Keep at it, Cappy Cap.<br />Man Ex Machinahttp://www.manexmachina.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-78622058031107790152013-03-01T12:01:30.226-08:002013-03-01T12:01:30.226-08:00Spot on Captain!

I've taken a few leaps, but very few have landed me in good cool water, but I get better every time. <br /><br />Currently my plan is to devote the rest of this month to self improvement. I've got a new gym membership and a consult with a personal trainer next week.

There is no better way to remove stress or to put anger to good use (after the exercises) than to throw those weights around like they were your *****.<br /><br />Doing the same exercises leads to boredom so I do like to change it up. That helps too.taterearlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-61123025455906673732013-03-01T10:42:30.718-08:002013-03-01T10:42:30.718-08:00Try moving heavy objects like rocks, bricks or tir...Try moving heavy objects like rocks, bricks or tires.

I know, apparently, I am different from almost everybody in this regard. Everybody else wants to look away; I've got to see them stick that needle in my arm. I don't think I could let them do it if I wasn't watching. I don't know if this translates into jumping off of cliffs, but I immediately thought about it. I probably would have to look there too.<br />Augusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758314961163692341noreply@blogger.com
