Journey, Not A Destination

Was wondering

Just curious!

Do you have a "type" of woman? If so, like what? And if not, what do you like best? Skinny girls, toned girls, muscle-girls, curvie girls;) ?

And be honest: what do you think about Jessica Alba?
If you have a girlfriend, what does she look like?

If any of this is in this thread previsouly, I apologize for the redundancy :)
 
Good questions. Honestly, I don't have a "physical" type. I am a very deep thinker, and because of that, I am very interested in the mind of a woman. A woman could be extremely beautiful looking based on society's standards (which are flawed IMO) and if she is an idiot, I will be completely turned off, mentally AND physically.

Typical answer, I know, of someone who wants to sound politically correct, but it really is the truth with me.

And to give you an answer, I don't prefer muscular girls. I actually like a woman to be curvacious. I do currently have a girlfriend, and she is 135 lbs.

Looks, I will try and get a picture on here sometime. She is pretty.
 
Pleased

Great answer!! I agree!

Beauty grows, too--my boyfriend got more and more attractive the more my love for him grew, to the point where I melt when I think about him, and a lot of the time if I see a cute guy who looks a little like him I'll be like, "Aw! He looks like my boyfriend!"
 
Good Morning Good Looking :)
(I had to vary the handsome part, you're probably getting used to it by now) ;)

Have a good St. Patrick's Day - any green beer for you?
 
Hey Steve, hope you have a great weekend.

I did pretty good in my weight training today -- Increased poundage on every exercise - squat (+25), bench press (+20), one arm db row (+5), assisted pullups (-1 level), and stdg. mil. press (+10).

Burned 485 cal. in 48 min., but I was pretty tired after that -- figured 30 min. of cardio might be overdoing it a bit. What do you think?

Tom, don't jump up so much in poundages. Small jumps lead to more consistent and long term results. Most of my big lifts, the largest jump I will make is 5 lbs from week to week.
 
Oops, OK. I just felt especially good today. Think I should go back down next time, or just stay where I am for a couple of weeks?

Stay where you are and increase slowly from here. Once you plateau on your weight increases, we will have to modify the routine, and eventually take some action for fatigue.

Thanks, coach. No DOMS today, so maybe I didn't overdo it TOO much.

Took all my measurements. Had some good results there, compared to 1 month ago - abdominal went down 3/4", chest went down 1", biceps went up 1/2", thighs went up 1/2", neck and calves stayed the same.

Question -- any advice about leg cramps at night? I eat bananas and stuff with lots of potassium; I drink a lot of water; I do stretching. I especially get them around my instep, just below my shins. I do take statins for cholesterol, and that is one of the side effects. Do you think that's the problem, or is there something else I can do.

Have a great Sunday!

It's not so much a matter of shocking your system and soreness. It's more a matter of creating an atmosphere for continual progression. You want to progressively overload the muscle for as long a length of time as possible. By jumping up huge amounts of weight in the lifts week to week, the progressive period is probably not going to be very long.

It is about getting stronger over a long continuum of time.

Cramps, probably linked to your medication. I am not sure, I will do some research. I think I read something about magnesium supplementation helping people with cramps.

Hiya DQ, I am having a good weekend. A lot of reading today, just taking it easy. Yesterday I went out, combination of St. Pattys Day and more so to say goodbye to my friend who is moving to California tomorrow. It was a very fun evening, about 50 people showed up and we took up most of the bar.

I am ready for warm weather. I miss being outside.
 
I miss outside too; I walked uptown the other day, and there was a coating of about an inch of snow on the road. What a pain in the butt to walk through. :mad:
