Gym/working Out

[saturnine]

i can dead-lift 38 pounds.

[Ravenous Yam]

I work out lifting weights every day I'm not too outright exhausted to do so. I have a full free weight set and olympic bench in my basement, so I don't even have to go to the gym.

 

I've been working out religiously for the past 6 months or so. It's great, and I'm really seeing results.

 

'Tis good.

i go to the gym 4 days a week. its great fun. i dont just weightlift though, i also play basketball and soccer.

[Prometheon]

Heh, I was about to make a topic about this myself actually. And yeah, I'm a huge gym rat. I go 3-4 times a week and love it.

it's too expensive to join a gym

[Prometheon]

It is very expensive, but honestly, it's worth it.

[Ravenous Yam]

I got my free weights and olympic bench for free from a friend of my parents' who doesn't need it anymore. Way better than the gym I used to go to, and it didn't cost me one cent. Plus free weights are better than machines anyway.

 

But it is still worth it to join a gym, if such a situation is not available to you.

[Prometheon]

Yeah, machines are terrible, but for some excercises (mainly lat and other back ones) it's difficult to do a proper range of motion with free weights. Plus I have NO room in my house/room.

I always swore I'd never get caught in a gym. So far in my almost twenty one years of being I've succeeded in that task.

[Prometheon]

What do you have against em?

[Azalroth]

I used to weight lift when I was at my Dad's place...I loved it, now it's just too expensive to go to the gym. I've settled for crunches and push ups, that and skating and rollerblading.

I haven't been to the gym is like a month. Every time time I think about it, I cringe cause my membership still comes out of my bank account. I get free tanning though.

I should think. I've been into it for like two weeks now and i have literally had half of an inch in growth.

 

But that could be my health-nazi diet finally being put to good use, i don't know.

Please don't say you're vegan

[Dan #2]

Guess what i'm going to say?

[Moonlight_Graham]

if its too expensive go find a YMCA.

I'll take you all on the squash court.

 

That's why we need gyms. Squash courts. Unless you've got one of those built in your house. In that case, we need to be friends.

[Shiri]

I'm against moving in general.

[Prometheon]

heh, then how do you look so thin/fit?

[Dan #2]

Bulimia is your friend.

I'll kick your ass in squash.

 

I'm addicted to the gym and running. running for hours, it's the greatest feeling. and pushing yourself beyong where you thought you could go. it's great for health, fun, and for building discipline.

 

once I leg-pressed 1000 pounds, then ate an entire chicken while watching the punisher. those were the days.

 

everyone should read arnolds encyclopedia.

Psh, all you skinny kids

[Shiri]

Haha I don't know how I'm thin, I don't eat A LOT but I've never did any workout. I even was fat once, until 8th grade, then I went on a diet and lost like 10 kilos. Without any workout, so whoever tells you it's impossible to loss weight without working out is lying ;)

[Prometheon]

Hahahha, I used to be HUGE. I weighed more in Grade 8 than I do now. It's crazy. I just gained some height, started working out, ate better, and bam. It was pretty crazy.
