LOL. I'll keep that in mind next time...

This probably ain't a big deal to most, but today I had my first true cold approach and thought I'd share... First of all let me say that I've been reading this board for a couple years, and it's been a big help in making me more confident in general, but I never really applied it to getting...

Start working out if you don't do so already. It will improve your posture and make you look an inch taller or so...

They don't burn as many calories as we do, since they sit in cells all day instead of going out and doing stuff? I don't know...

My facial hair has been growing more quickly since I started lifting 4 or 5 months ago...but then again I'm at an age where I should be growing facial hair more quickly, anyway...so I don't know how much of an effect lifting has...

Depends on the shape of your head...if you have a round face they look kind of dumb IMO. Also don't try to grow one if you can't grow facial hair quickly in the first place, or if it grows in uneven. I knew a guy who tried to grow one of those chinstrap goatees on his chin, but it didn't...

Sleeping for 10 hours is a bit long. I know that when I sleep for 10 hours I feel pretty tired all day, and I think most people are the same way. Maybe try setting your alarm to wake you up 7-8 hours after you plan on falling asleep. When I've got no reason to be up at a certain time I'll...

FWIW... I started working out Feb. of this year, started at about 145lb. I'm 5'10" and weigh around 165 now. So 20lbs. in 4 months is pretty good I guess, considering I haven't been the most consistent in my workouts or diet. Not all of that is lean muscle mass of course, but I can...

Lately I've been listening to UK "grime" style hip-hop when I work out, stuff like Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, etc. I just got the "Run the Road" compilation CD that has a lot of good tracks on it. The beats are rough so it gets me pretty pumped up

You mean creatine?

Cool...thanks for the help!

I've decided to get serious about working out, and I've got some money saved up so I'm going to buy some equipment. I was thinking of getting a weight bench w/ a squat rack, dumbbells, and maybe a flat bench. Is there anything else I should get? Space is an issue, I don't have too much room...

I think you nailed it honeyshark. That's my biggest problem with the whole thing, not people saying metros "are teh gay" or the effeminization of males or any bull like that. It's definately the result of media pressure. If anyone thinks otherwise, you're fooling yourself. So go ahead and...

When I pan fry things with butter I put a little bit of olive oil in the pan first...it really helps keep the butter from burning up too fast, and you don't need to use as much...give that a try.

I *think* that butter is better because margarine is extremely high in trans-fatty acids. I'm not sure which is better for you calorie or nutrition-wise, though...
