Clocking in at 6’2 and 240 LBS!!!. I’m at an all time muscle to fat ratio right now. I’m around 8-10% body fat at 240. I’ stronger, more powerful, faster and quicker than I have ever been. The only thing thats lacking is my middle/long distance endurance. So anything longer a mile. In the summer I’m gonna start doing conditioning so my anaerobic system can get even...
Modern Athena: I Don’t Want to Get Bulky →
I never attempted to work out until I was in graduate school. I made it a personal project to work out every weekday and create a habit, but by default I did only cardio. It was a lot less intimidating. I would walk by the weight room, but I had no idea how to use the machines, what the movements were, or what the etiquette was. As a result, I never went in and never learned to lift...

Question
Why is it so hard to find a girl who cares about health and fitness, is smart and driven, likes science, and is respectable and is logical and level headed?
I’m gonna start opening up my social circles, get to know new people, maybe network in some new fitness circles.

Summer Breeze
Summer breeeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my miiiiiind.
Without fail it always happens. Through out most of the year I am super focused on everything and relationships dont really come up, but When May/june hits and that 70/80+ heat comes out, it tends to soften my metal like exterior up. For most people its spring that brings out the romance in them, but for me...

rippedfuel asked: You're all ready doing a crossfit esque training system anyway. If you think about it Crossfit is basically a strength and conditioning program. I think if you took away the isolated strength exercises and did more compound and explosive work for strength, isolated for supplement and metcon/gpp/conditioning to follow up you'd find a good system for most martial arts people. I tend to...
