There is a party coming up in the near future and I workout 4x a week, with normal splits of chest/tri/shoulder, back/bi, legs/abs and cardio. Basically what exercises should I do prior to this party? Should I have an arm day a day before to maintain a good pump, should I do some high rep curls and pulldowns? I want to look good in a T-shirt so yeah, any feedback is appreciated.

Lol. I am not making fun of you...however, funny thread. Tbh, take arginine caps. Get out of your car and do push ups and put your hands on the floor boards or what have you. On that note, the door will be open( covering you ) so your not looking like your doing push ups in a drive way or road. During that day, just workout an upper body part- take arginine and do the push ups...enjoy the 1hr pump. Now the problem might be if you wear to small of a shirt and your pump stretches it out...see then when your pump goes down, now you have a stretched out shirt....Jedi mind game pump- JMGP!

However, to get over this Jedi Mind Game Pump, you wear a beater underneath....however, if your chest is lagging, a cut off underneath the shirt. So as your dancing with the JMGP, you have an excuse to take off your now stretched shirt later on, and have a cutoff- which looks good if you have broad shoulders. Consider this cutoff as a universal part of your social pump activities. Of course it cannot be pink though, colors like white or black, if you tan.

No shave jaw line look- this is an important part of a male's distinguished look. You simply do not shave your stubble. If you do, just shave the neck...so it gives you a jaw line if you didn't have one. Don't wolverine it though. The important thing is to beat that JMGP- Jedi mind game pump. Now I know I was somewhat comical....however, if you do take arginine, do push ups as said...and have a cut off underneath, you will be good to go.

PRO TIP: Girls couldn't give a **** what you or your body looks like at first meeting. They won't even notice. Girls think absolutely nothing like guys, sorry.

Confirmed *******.

Hehehe, love this thread. Seriously, you can get as jacked as you'd like and you'll still cry yourself to sleep, alone, after watching all the girls leave with the ugliest, pot-bellied dirt-bags who have confidence. That's just how the world works!

Heh. Wrong. The world works for people who have good looks. Don't have it, then you're going to need something else. Charisma or humour are next in line. Then comes muscles. For most women, as long as you are within a normal weight and have a solid base, you're 90% there.. anything after that is just a bonus.

Most of these muscles, I hate to say it, are for guys. Women in general don't like overly muscular men once they exceed a certain threshold. Read up on the many studies online from reputable sources.

Fortunately I'm married with two sons so the only game I need to have is with my wife.

It's internet. There are no men on the internet. There are no former virgins on the internet. You're all neck beards.

How you get laid: go to NA meetings find crazy newcomers tell them you got time then 13th step the bitches all the way to your bedroom. Worked great for Bill W the founder of AA.

Attraction rather than promotion AMIRITE?

Sponsor's gonna murder me.

Making fun of someone else's pride in sobriety is pretty low.

Not to mention the chances of him being an OIF/OEF vet for at LEAST one deployment due to his years of service is pretty much a given where a lot of us picked up similar problems.

I personally think it's awesome he's been clean for over 6 years now and it speaks a lot about his character.

Posting in that fashion, it speaks a lot about your character.

You really are an ignorant douchebag. I'm comfortable making 13th step jokes because I'm part of a 12 step program myself. Or are you gonna contest that in violation of the 3rd tradition just to give yourself fuzzy feelgoods?

How do you know I haven't been myself?

I could honestly care less about you.

It was a douchebag post made by someone who apparently loves stirring up drama to feel better about her subpar life.

I only took offense as I happen to have a lot of respect for him for being proud and sharing that. He's awesome in my book.

You on the other hand, not so much.

[grouchyjarhead]

Hurry onto that 9th step so I can blatantly laugh at your pitiful attempt at humility.

Seriously I make one joke and you throw it out of context to perpetuate your self induced internet grudge against me. You don't know if Jason and I are in contact, if we know each other, you don't know anything, you don't know me, and you don't know jack about lifting either. You just decided to arbitrarily dislike me because I hold researched, scientific views about lifting contrary to your internet derived broscience, and made a friendly comment to a fellow addict which you decided to immediately misconstrue and pick a fight over.

GTFO.

Too bad you didn't know more about me before you made those assumptions.

If you did, then you would know I hold a bachelor's degree in exercise science from the University of Pittsburgh, have worked as an intern at the Human Energy Research Laboratory at the same, I have my fair share of experience in strength competitions, and I don't prescribe to mindless bro science. You'd also know I'm married to a woman who was at one time one of the top 20 female powerlifters in the world for her weight class who now competes in kettlebell sport and is one of the few women actively competing with the 24kg/53 pound 'bell.

I don't dislike you for your "researched, scientific views about lifting".

I dislike you because you have a superior attitude despite your accomplishments being nothing to signify even worth having that attitude and that in my brief time here the only posts I have seen from you tend to be in the form of attacking someone over something or another. This isn't high school - it's time to grow up.

[melDorado]

Unfortunate but true. Sure there are some outliers, but if you believe otherwise you're just wanting to believe it. Looks/body are probably about 10th on the list of what a girl thinks about at first. And with your body, she'll be thinking about how you look healthy. No girl will sit there saying ooo look at his bulging muscles.

I would for sure, I wouldn't go with a bloke that wasn't gorgeous and in some sort of general shape. This means I am terminally single. But its my own fault for being shallow. Not as shallow as a goldigger though.

I really doubt all of the above. People will say anything to win an argument on these forums.

4 to be exact. 03, 04, 05 and 06 all with 3/1 Oorah! Got addicted to booze and pain pills after I got both my legs broken in Fallujah in 06. Wife found me passed out on the floor with my .45 ACP in my hand and a bottle of vodka...she was coming there to tell me she was pregnant with our son. Had I not passed out on a bender of vodka and pills...i'd be dead right now.

I'm glad things worked out for you brother. Kids are a game changer and that guy needs a daddy. I'm still near the city, are you?

I got into the Marines to get out of here (grew up all in and around the area, from Bellevue to Lawrenceville to South Hills) then ended up coming right back for college, tried leaving the state for one job, but came back for another better paying job so here I am still.

Chit in Bellevue you were right across the bridge from me. Lawrenceville has changed BIG time...fukin hispters.

I got in while in college, Robert Morris University, 2 years reserves then the rest was active.

[grouchyjarhead]

Haha yeah you ain't kidding.

Gotta start putting some of these hipster traps around there, cut down on the population.

[jgreystoke]

Six feet one.

A buck seventy.

So less muscular than normal size manual workers/athletic guys.......


.......who don't even lift

And seriously, nobody became awesome in weeks, or even months......

Think in terms of getting progressively stronger for enough reps for big exercises over the next FEW YEARS if you want to be more awesome.

The best way to look big and muscular is to be big and muscular.

You'll need a real plan, like:

1. Fierce Five to start.

2. 5 3 1, with the Boring But Big template for size when beyond novice level.

3. Enough protein and calorie surplus to sustain the increasing strength for reps and muscular size(they tend to go together) without getting fat. After a few years your mother won't recognize you. Most everyone would doubt you have that kind of grit, given your question.

In the meantime, educate yourself, be a more interesting person to be around.
