90 to 95% of the guys from the globogyms in Singapore are like this. I’ve just learned to ignore that else I’d be filling up the Squat Rack Curls thread with posts single-handedly. Local Singapore women complain about not finding good men, local Singapore men complain their women end up with foreigners. If the link is indicative of the male population, could you blame either demographic?[/quote]

I’ve been to a variety of gyms down here, and have seen retarded shit in all of them, worthy of the Squat-rack thread, EVERY SINGLE SESSION. Today, two guys deadlifting (props) conventional with rounded backs, wide stances and high hips; one attempted 225 and failed to break off the floor, mostly because he starts with his hips level with his shoulders (still props for deadlifting).
In the last week: There was a bench with four teens on it, sitting back-to-back in a circle, doing conc. curls with 15s (lbs).
A guy hogging the chin station to do calf raises.
A 140lb dude attempting a 225 bench.
Countless required saves in the smith machine.
Countless girls staring lackadaisically into space, yawning as they do curls and/or the abductor machine.
Guys squatting with the maxipad, and 40kg on the bar.

A good deal of the stuff in Nard’s vids are pretty common in my gym, save the dancing chick on the treadmill, and I consider it one of the better facilities in terms of equipment and regulars.

To the lady who mentioned Asian guys find her to muscular, I hear ya. ‘Getting too big’ is a sentiment I hear often within my age group (early twenties). Most guys I know find physiques like 2007 GSP or the Twilight werewolves ‘too bulky’. To say nothing about girls with a hint of athleticsm.
I knew this chick in my dorm that had a body you usually see in the jerkoff section of FHM. She got a little friendly ribbing once because her arms were too toned. People here think Madonna is muscular.

That’s good to know, thanks.

I figured it was like a pulley, maybe I’ve got the pin at 150lbs for triceps pressdowns but I figure that the pulley makes it less than that.[/quote]

There’s no pulley system on those Hammer Strength machines. Comparing those to a cable machine is off.

Just a bunch of hunks…

Reading all this, I’m kinda puzzled why I’m not already sitting in a plane to Singapore, contemplating my new career as a part time PT and full time chick magnet.

What is hilarious is these are the types of bodies women will PAY to see…but yet apparently they have convinced an entire generation of boys that they actually hate it.

What is the point of that?

You’re forgetting that you’re dealing with women. Whenever you throw women into the equation, the logic factor automatically drops to zero.

To tell the truth, the guys can’t be much better if they can ignore shit like this simply because their girl told them they think big muscles are icky…like that same girl wouldn’t say skinny dudes are icky if she was with a bodybuilder.

Women = illogical

Men = plain stupid

Completely agree. You have to respond to women based on their actions rather than what they say.

So true, it’s the same as men who say they like bigger girls. They only say that because their girl is a fat ass.

I don’t know how many times I’ve thought about that. I’ve seriously considered opening a gym in either Singapore or Taiwan. When I went to Singapore a few years ago people looked at me like I was a monster, and I’m pretty small.

Heard it’s scheduled for a launch for Christmas 2010, saw it in a book shop last week.[/quote]

It’ll probably come out much earlier than that though.

Oh please open a gym in Singapore, preferably in the east.
There is a lack of powerlifting culture here as well, i might add.

Odd to hear that Leezw88, since I was at university with 2007’s Singapore’s Strongest Man and his photo albums on facebook are full of pictures of meets etc.

I was at the gas station the other night when a typical chubby girl in Daisy Dukes walks in while I was trying to pay. From dimpled legs to muffin top, she used her really tight shirt to help push out a few more buldges…for highlights.

This got two fat dudes in the line with me really hot and bothered.

Now, on a scale of one to ten, she may have been a 4…but they reacted like she was a full TEN with a halo around her head.

Why?

I don’t know, but I do know there seems to be something in people that causes them to idolize features that make their own situation seem “ok”.

The fat chick may like muscles…but she won’t say that, because being with someone like that highlights how much she is NOT like that…so she says she hates it…and maybe even makes herself believe she really likes 60" guts over anyone more in shape.

She falls in love with an idea that makes her seem just fine.

Likewise, I seriously doubt those guys in the gas station would think someone like Beyonce didn’t look good. But they know she wouldn’t go for them…and they know this “4” is smiling her ass off all because of their reaction…which equals easy lay.

Fail.

If I could find a way for fat girls to NOT like me, I would be happy.
