ahh true true, it's good when yer boy has super toned arms and he's on top. scrumptious.

owww big problem you NEED to be flexible, major problem for most guys though. well what can i say, bend and reach your toes? hah best bet is to pick up a pilates for beginners book/video.
1. spread yer legs and bend to the floor so that both your elbows are touching the center ground.
2. lay on your back and form a bridge with your stomach facing upwards.
3. lay face down and only lift up your torso (stomach and up?) your back should stretch like no other
4. lay stomach up and one leg at a time, pull it towards your body all the way and then in that position bend your foot forward and backwards
5. do the butterfly sit on teh floor and bend your knees outwards so that both soles of the feet touch each other and then bend forward

well...i borrowed it, but i've had it for a couple months hehe. never tried aerobics...i don't really care if its un-masculine as long as it works, i can handle that. so aerobics would help flexibility?

Here are some stretches that you could do before and after working out, spending a minimum of 1 minute on each exercise:

Side Bends
Forward Bends
Hamstring Stretches
Lunges (the stretching kind, not the quad working kind)
Feet apart seated forward bends
Inner thigh stretches
Quadriceps stretches
Hurdlers stretches
Spinal twists
Hanging stretches

You should be able to figure out how to do these by searching on google. Yes I got it from the book. But noone else was helping out. I don't recommend anything that I wouldn't do myself.

yeah like i said i have the book...i just need to take stretching more seriously. thanks..

I once got the urge to be able to do the splits and tried for like 40 minutes. I made decent progress but it hurt like hell and I was sore the next day. Apparently its supposed to take a week! Screw that.

Originally posted by Floorfiller what does it matter if i post stats or not? this is the internet and i could say whatever i want you would only have to guess whether i'm telling the truth or not. you want to know my stats? 5'11"-6' 193 lbs i don't know body fat, but i'm pretty lean...i've been as heavy as 218 so i've trimmed down. if you believe me great, if not i don't really care. my only reason for posting in this thread is to help those that might benefit from my knowledge gained over the last 10 years. you shouldn't get all bent out of shape because i recognize the fact that you are in denial about your 7lbs of weight being partially fat. see that 20+ lbs i lost...that's right it was fat. even professional bodybuilders put on fat when they aren't getting ready for competitions. you really shouldn't be so naive. stupid claims like "i put on 7lbs of PURE MUSCLE" is only going to show the rest of us the extent of your knowledge or lack there of.

i wasn't getting bent up over your comments, just wondering how successful your methds were.

and i wasn't the 1 who said "i put on 7lbs of PURE MUSCLE", your confusing me with some one else
