I didn't "advise", just offered some "advice", Biff.

Now I gotta take shit from people who cant spell, gotta love the planet.

Oh, I agree, but I don't like it when a woman (or guy for that matter) has some degree of musculature and it's automatically assumed that they are juicing.

Oh, while on the subject of excerise, I couldn't get to the gym last night, so I had to do back/tricep at home. First time I've done pullups since going back to the gym five/six weeks ago and, man, my body weight pullups absolutely sucked. Did less reps than before I started working out at the gym again. Kinda depressing.

Dude, relax. Go have a cigarette and a workout.

:D I agree, and admitted I was wrong about female physiology when it comes to weightlifting... but I didn't always smoke and wasn't always out of shape, there was a time my dear man when I was like a Greek sculpture/drifts off wistfully...

But yeah, the rest of what I said stands and it works.

I'm typing on my phone, sorry. Got smoke a cig and settle down!

I never said that it was automatic. I simply said that women aren't going to get huge muscles without help.

I know lots of muscular guys and ladies that don't juice. But the women still look like women. Contrast that to some of the women bodybuilders at the gym, and there's a HUGE difference. That difference is made possible through injections.

The only reason steroids come up so often is because it's VERY common. And I actually do not look down at anyone who does. I've looked into it myself. I'm simply saying that the training methods and results for those who do use drugs are different from those who don't, so taking results from one group and trying to apply the methodology and results to the other doesn't usually work. I only ask that those who do be honest about it so that others can see exactly what went on to make the results possible. I don't think that's asking too much.

And testosterone is also one of the main reasons why men lose weight faster than women. Lucky bunch of assholes. :p

Yup. Whenever we go on a cut together, my wife HAAAAAAAAATES me. She's so jealous of how easily the weight comes off compared to her.

See, I do.

I think it's a total pussy move. It's like breast augmentation, collagen lip injections for men.

And you aren't going to find many people being honest with it because it's viewed as cheating as well as being illegal.

Hey, so I havent lifted weights for about three years. I'm looking to get back into it but I have no idea where to start. Any advice?

I'd look at the very first post of the thread.

Um, 4,000? 5,000? I dunno. Haven't been keeping track of calories. I eat lots of ice cream and pizza and random shit with lots of protein that tastes good. Only for another week, though. I'm overtrained like crazy. Taking a month off of lifting and soccer to focus on yoga and resting. Gonna cut my cals back to about 1500-1800 then.

I have three teams playing for indoor soccer championships on different days this week, though, so first things first.
