Dunno about that, most women *I* know are actually turned off by that, I've also been accused of taking roids a million times (by people who know shit about lifting) and none of the typical stupid ''meathead stereotypes'' are left untouched.
From a social standpoint lifting is very contra productive.

Yeah I love the fitness gals. I haven't dated a girl with a really great gym bod in a long time. Thankfully classes start next week, plenty of em on campus.

Second leg day today, deadlifts! Mmmm, exciting.

You need to show some more of your muscles Giant Show us your strength. Post some pictures pleaseeee ♡♡♡♡♡

Huuuuuuhhhhhhhh whaaaaaaaaat?

But but I thought I could pay in lap dancing! Lol jk!

I'm using the treadmill for the time being.

I have an ab roller I need to set up later.

I see the gym tribe has assembled. Still waiting for my turn. Did some careful biceps curls and ended up with my torn bicep crying. No where near out of the zone yet.

It was a slow process, I bought my first dumbbell set 11 years ago. During that time I've figured out what works for me and what doesn't so my exercise plan is extremely effective now. 
I've never worked out on machines, all the auxiliary muscles and stabilizers get hit hard when using free weights only plus I give the nowadays unpopular low rep high weight old school strongman exercises a lot of credit (Overhead press, axle dead lift, log lift, circus dumbbell press etc.)Genetics may play a role too, I have a picture of my grandfather serving in the Kriegsmarine (German Navy) in WWII, he had an extremely impressive physique for someone who never lifted weights in his life. 

But now the most important factor by far: Motivation. I love lifting weights, I don't just do it to reach a goal, lifting is its own goal. I enjoy picking up and lifting heavy stuff a lot.   8D In my opinion, if you don't genuinely love lifting you'll never get really strong and/or big. 


Hi Uccio! (I believe that was your BSN name)

Do a couple of strength weeks, that shit will make you love lifting again. What I mean with that is, do your usual exercises but increase the weight until you can only do 1-2 reps, increase the amount of reps to 10. For example deadlifts 10 sets of 2 reps. Also throw in some fun exercises like log lift, circus dumbbells, 120+ kg goblet squats and Atlas stones ( you can simulate stones with a dumbbell).

Will do! 

Today is chest day, whooopeee! Dumbbell floor presses, incline presses, close grip presses and flyes. Maybe some pullovers too.  Shweeet!
