If you’re paraphrasing ME, scratch out beer, sub tequila…and scratch this “Oh, and I like it rough” shit and put “Git over here, imma make you bleed”
TMI?
Hey, close enough. Alcohol and non-vanilla sex basically.

That Argentine Tango was AWESOME!!!
The tango pix are awesome!
Since I know nothing about 5/3/1, I don’t have much to say except for stick with it. Good luck.
LOL about the German guys getting all hot and bothered by your color-coded spreadsheet. Very funny.

Just take out the alcohol references completely. I have already stated that I will be stone-sober. I want no assistance from alcohol. The “Git over here, imma make you bleed” is an accurate summarization of the discussion held. That is all. 
And because I think you should hear this said on a daily…
<------------------watching this secret meeting between our Hero and our Dangerous American in Germany unfold with rapt attention…
You single people make me feel like a desperate housewife! I’m counting down the days until Beast meets Fook.
Tango pics are awesome!
I don’t know about the narrower grip for Military Presses, but I’m doing better with a narrow grip on my bench press.

tango’s funny like that. the emotion you see is representative of the experience of the dance in the moment. The comfort of the embrace, the ability of the leader to hear the music and translate into movement, also his ability to give you the space to express yourself and the dynamic interplay between the two. What you see on my (our) face and in my (our) body language are two people in the moment, in love with the moment, not each other. I love this dance. In a 3 minute tango you can reach a level of intimacy with strangers beyond what’s achieved in your average one night stand/conversation or maybe even beyond (definitely intense/distinct) from what you experience in your closest relationships with friends/SOs. Very fulfilling actually.
I had a chance to learn Tango from a good instructor here (years ago) and didn’t take him up on the offer. I totally regret it.
I want to learn a classic dance like Tango.
Not a fan of Salsa (many Salsa clubs here) but I do love Samba.

gym rant
My tango friend’s husband commented on my spreadsheet (after showing me his in his iPhone). He warned me, “But Bre, you’re going to build mass if you do that, you dont want to get bigger than you already are, do you?” Ummmm. Oh, I dont know person I dont really know, tell me how You think I SHOULD look/how WOMEN should luck. Fuck you. Literally minutes later I saw a female (obese + losing, good for her) colleague of mine in the hall way between sets. She took me aside and said to me rather seriously auf deutsch: “Bre, you are starting to look scary lifting all that weight.” All I could say to her was 'Danke, I want to lift MORE! “Really?” She said. JA and I walked away. Dude came back to hug me goodbye so I think he secretly likes it/doesnt want to admit it. In contrast to todays thing at the gym, I’ve mentiond my ‘training’ on Facebook (finally) for the first time since I started, and some of my female friends are requesting progress photos for motivation for their own training. I like to motivate/inspire people NOT intimidate/humiliate them. I wish people would see that. Maybe I need to do a better job at presenting my case. /end rant/

try lying reverse crunches maybe? or off the bench…
sorry your getting a hard time from people. People SUCK sometimes…just ignore em. If you turn into She-man overnight then they can question your training… and then I want some of what your taking

LOL. I’m hardly a she man…I was just having this discussion about ‘supplements’. I would never take androgens, but maybe GH? The bad thing about this stuff is that surely it messes up hormonal balances, and when you stop, probably takes your body a long time to balance out. In the meantime, you’d probably get fat. I dunno, I’m doing okay natural.
GH is one to do when you’re middle aged and not producing as much in the way of your own hormones. Even so, it’s expensive and you have to be prepared to inject it. Not something I want to deal with, tbh!
Beauty- GH will not be necessary, really. As for people and their opinions, fuck 'em. I had the lovely experience of listening to an upside-down pyramid trying to convince himself that squats are overrated. He even went as far as pointing out the fact that his arms are bigger than his legs, and how he wants to change that…by running more. I laughed at him and wished him luck. Ignorance is bliss.
Edgy…where’s the secret??
PPuff!! To hell with Fook. My attention will rest with Beauty. And maybe her “coach” at the gym. I’ve gotta pick out some multi-colored tights of my own for the meeting, though.
Ponce, I’m with you on the classic/ballroom/tango. I could never get into Salsa.

Huh, we aren’t too different then, are we… But you just had to overdo the tan
I’ll preface all of this by saying i LOVE how i look.
I know that most women dont want to look like me, they want to look like me 40lbs and 8%bf ago. I know that LOTS of men (the skinny ones) are intimidated by me or dont like the way i look. That’s cool with me. I don’t care what other women think (PW’s are a mild exception) and the men i’m attracted to scare the shit out of most people.
how’s all this relevant to your situation, Bre? tell em to fuck off. give the girls their pictures if they want*, and (polite version of FUCK OFF) tell the men that if thats how they feel, they can be glad they dont have to go to bed with or wake up with you in the morning, because the one you want considers it a privilege- and that you’re not doing this for anyone but you.
*best motivation i’ve ever seen is to take a picture of your naked ass and put it up everywhere. fridge, computer monitor, kitchen cabinets, bathroom mirror, steering wheel… how many bad food decisions can you make and how many times can you skip the gym when you’re faced with your own unsatisfactory ass?
re: GH
it’s a pretty fucking awesome drug.
pros- nice skin, good sleep, quick recovery, get leaner without trying, build mass more easily, no clit dick, body hair, or deep voice.
cons- subcutaneous injection (if you consider that a con), blunts insulin response and thyroid a teeny bit (depends on the dose) so light T3 supplementation is suggested in some cases, and long term use (varies per person and dose) will see size increase of hands, feet, and jaw.
