Though I've been saying to my brother, I'd like to do some kind of amateur wrestling (Grecco-Roman) league on weekends, if such a thing exists. That was one of my favorites in high school.

How about you try this ?

Actually I still don't get the idea of going to the gym. I still prefer the outdoors walking everywhere I want with a heavy bag.

I always thought a good body is one that is adapted to the elements, not trained to adapt to any element. There is a joke a cousin of mine once told me : a schoolmate trying to date her, an avid gym goer, was a victim of snatch theft and couldn't catch the thief. Simply because he has too much muscle mass and was not agile enough while the thief was almost a parkour enthusiast. THe schoolmate trained in every aspect of strength and agility but is still no match for a streetwise ruffian.

Though if he caught the thief the latter would have been nothing more than a sack of crushed bones.

You know... I feel kind of bad I've been here for so long, yet have never posted a photo. I know at some point someone here has thought "what does he look like?" If everyone keeps posting one I might implode and give in. So stop posting pics so I won't feel bad

lol, if that avid gym goer was smart, he'd have thrown a rock at the thief. Seriously, if speed isn't one's finer points, might as well adapt

Haha, never heard of that before. How interesting. I don't know how popular that is around here.

There's such a thing called 'functional training,' to be the strongest, to use the most power, etc, that is completely different from bodybuilding just to have big muscles. There's a reason olympic athletes do weight training nowadays. Assuming equal skill, the stronger athlete usually prevails, especially in an event like sprinting. Suffices to say, hypertrophy training (making yourself "bigger") isn't the only way one can weight train.

When I use to live in Korea, I did lot of hiking. I didn't exercise much as a kid, so this was my only mean and favorite method of exercising. I can't run a treadmill since there is no visible goal, but mountain hiking has a clear objective. Going to the top, or at least near the top, is always so nice. Eating ramen up there was one of my best memory. God I miss mountains...

DorkingtonPugsly · 2013-04-07, 19:28

I got a weird tea bag. It's not amazing, it's not anything but I took a photo of it regardless.

I also started drawing beards on pictures of myself. Just because I'll never be able to grow one, but I like to imagine having my ideal beard.

Same. I love hiking mountains, although the ones here are very short.

I wanted to go Kota Kinabalu someday for that.

A part of the reason why I hardly shave. What is is about beards anyways? Did I miss a class or something, because it seems to me it's more desired nowadays than before. I have a friend in Germany, and we haven't seen each other in about 10 years, and one of the first things he says to me is "wish I had facial hair". And I'm like.... "eh?", I never did get a complete answer from him, but since I observe people like a job, I realized he must have been embarrassed. He's got a baby face, he's older than me, he's married and he's got a kid, so to see me growing older faster than him probably made him say that

Ahh well I don't know the pains and hardships that come with having one, so I guess I'm just ignorant. When my dad used to rub his beard on me I hated it. It was like greasy sandpaper. I've never really had to do much in the way of shaving.

Beards are awesome

SaintessHeart · 2013-04-08, 05:11

I still can't grow one until now.

Kudos to you. Every time I went hiking I threw up half way to the top or threw up at the top if I could make it. Every hiking trip was a bad experience for me

Well I think the key would be pacing yourself. I never threw up, but I had few instances where my leg was pretty much dead at the top.

I get a splotchy mess that should not be seen by human eyes. The beard doesn't fill out and I look like a creepy dirty mess..

Being an Arab, I started growing beard at 9.
