Feeling tired and sluggish? There is a solution. Lift. The first thing our men young and old should do is lift weights. Find a programme that works for you--and lift. And then lift some more. I can't stress the importance of weight-lifting enough. In the last few weeks I've seen a marked increase in young female colleagues touching my biceps and shoulders. They do it almost furtively in the midst of conversation--but I've noted the frequency. Apparently the word has got around--and this has been confirmed for me by colleagues--that I'm putting much more effort into my lifting routine. The right behaviour will yield results.
But how will we fit into our skinny jeans and over-priced V-neck sweaters?
ReplyDeleteChicks dig getting pinned to walls and such.
The benefits are limitless.
I liked your applied living system article, LBF. Bodybuilding has alot to offer. One has to be careful of allowing it to take over. It can be very addicting.
ReplyDeleteI think you may have something there LBF; I haven't really lifted weights since the mid-80s being more of a cardio guy since then. I'm long overdue for a furtive bicep caress by some fine young filly.
ReplyDeleteGood. A woman admires a man who is capable of carrying her over the threshold.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I don't like being touch by someone I dont know very well. As a woman, I've been stroked on my upper arm during casual conversation---I didn't like it. I've been grabbed in the side of my waist as I walked by--didn't like that I either. I've also been swatted on my behind as I walked by and I was wearing a lady-like dress well passed my knees. Why do men think it is ok to touch women in passing?
If I might suggest a great resistance training method for those who don't wish to or can't engage in weightlifting--the isometric methods of Alexander Zass, the "Mighty Samson." You will definitely build strength and muscle,with much less time involved, but you probably won't achieve the size of a weightlifter--if that is your goal. Check out Zass on the internet and Youtube. A simple chain is all you need.
