I've got dat ass so i'm okay in that respect, but yeah my thighs are only about 24" at the top and even thats enough for 'loose fit' jeans to be a bit tight

Yeah, I have a gluteus MAXimus too! Fills up jeans well though - the girls seem to like it! So do the boys too though

Delvis, they are the same people who are probably quite happy sitting at home watching loads of tv piling on the pounds. Our ancestors had to hunt for food and no doubt have well developed physiques, much closer to what gym goers have not these inactive soap box junkies.

My mate was saying about someone we know "yeah but what if he turned all that fat in to muscle..."........... No Jonesy, that just can't happen!

here bloody here.


Is it any surprise that Roman and Greek statues all have ripped men? That's because they had good physiques, owing to diets high in fats and protein, no refined or processed carbs. Lots of exercise and having to do real manual labour, carry armour etc...

 

[MoNkeE]

I believe they also had gyms of sorts. But a lot of Roman/Greek art was about overstating physical dimensions too; I doubt Julius Caeser was as well proportioned as his statues suggested, rather the art styling at the time dictated he was

Haha! I nearly said this to them actually!

It's scary how much carbs are around today....Processed etc

Sales were **** Everything was either XXL or XS. 28 waist? yeah like i'm gonna fit into that

28" waist is my niche. I hoover those cheap jeans up!

 

[Delvis]

28"? Really?

Hell....I need 36" for them to be comfortable! Dinner trousers however I may need to go up a notch!

Well of course, like most rulers, it's about inflating your impression to your people. However, there's no denying that gladiators for example were tough men, or their legionnaires & soldires etc...

TK Max is ace for jeans. always a wide selection of top brands at low prices, and i find top brands tend to fit better

Oh aiye I totally agree with you. It was just an opportunity to share one of those tiny fragments of knowledge that I've obtained over the years Two visits to Rome, glad something soaked in!

I was in the staffroom a second ago...And they were talking about people 'who go to the gym for weights'. They were commenting on how odd they look and how unnatural it is

Never know what to do in those situations...Made me want to cry really

Walk around doing a double bicep pose, knocking people over with your guns. Release a manly roar, then leave. They will now understand.


Welcome back Benny

All about the spartans baby!

Must've been a cold day when that statue was taken.................

 

[roysters]

[stiv121]

Inside of my legs are still a little sore from squats on wednesday as it was my first session in two weeks, should I still go and do my deadlift session? Really raring to go haha.

Lost 2kg over christmas? 66Kg now best I have ever looked! Don't know how it was as I wasn't really watching what I eat more on the volume Don't seem to have lost any mass just a little strength and stamina, really need help on a new routine as I want to focus on getting my bf % down but not losing any strength or muscle mass.

 

[Delvis]

Thats why I tend to do Squats Mondays, so your legs can have a decent deads session on the Friday

I'm in the same boat however this week and will be trying them regardless!

 

[icecold]

monday squat
wednesday deads
friday squat

Recovery is for pussies
