How to make Ethand fatter, plus MrMazda92 and his car

[MrMazda92]

Huh? Planning on re-spraying Tracy (Or unnamed) green??
Haha always nice to know your car's admired by someone, though haha

Tracy will be Green, and the Bruise(temporary name, girlfriend hates it ) will be white.

Hahaha Indoro, I'm not that keen to bulk up - I'm not worried about my weight or anything & it doesn't bother me that I'm skinny like the rest of my family haha...
Wow, MrMaz! Are resprays fairly cheap where you are?? Over here it'd cost me the value of the car again just for a respray haha.... (about $4-5k if I got a good deal, I reckon)...
Sorry, Dan, Please accept this image as a condolence for not posting one in my last post...

Oh, and nice new name for the thread haha... seems much more fitting...? hahaha

[MrMazda92]

They aren't cheap, but well worth it if you intend to keep the car for a long time, as I do. I'm blessed with having a good source of information readily available though, and I already have a guy in mind for painting. I hope it all works out, he does amazing work.

Hahaha Indoro, I'm not that keen to bulk up -

You should. Chicks dig it, believe me.

[ethand]

Hmmm yeah, maybe its just that things are cheaper in US than here - it's defs not worth me paying the value of my car again (or even more) to get it to be a colour I like more... That said, I have toyed with the idea several times...
Hahahaha Inodoro, without meaning to sound up myself, I don't seem to have a shortage of chicks (admittedly none that I'm keen on, but hey, we'll see hahaha)... Seems being bulky isn't everything haha

[MrMazda92]

It's not everything, but it certainly DOES hack it's perks. I'm not what I would call "Bulky", but I can certainly keep up with more built athletes, in almost every regard Hell, How many 155 pound(roughly 70 KG) guys do you know that can leg press 1,000 pounds(~450 KG)? I only know 1 other, and he's the energizer bunny in a human body... Crazy, literally crazy.

Even if you aren't shooting to bulk up, I recommend core strength training(keeps your entire body fit, trust me!), Yoga(keeps you flexible enough to STAY fit for life), and conditioning/endurance training.

If you can work even 12-15 hours a week into your schedule, you'll be amazed at what you're capable of.

I know I couldn't do 45 pullups in under a minute last year... I also couldn't do them 1 handed.

[MrMazda92]

haha no many, I guess haha... Do most girls even know what leg pressing is, though?!? haha

Honestly, I work out for myself alone. I have a lovely girlfriend who loved me equally when I was gimpy last year and couldn't walk. I decided that I would never allow an injury to best me again, and I've held to that as I hold to life itself.
I've re-sprained my ankle 3 times since last year, all doing things I love... I even injured myself last week working out(I did something stupid, and ended up flat on my back, with literally my entire back covered in one giant bruise/welt that is still as purple as it was the day it happened) Still, I do my pullups, my pushups, and the core workouts that don't bring tears to my eyes. Yoga will wait until my back heals, but I'll be doing it again, trust me!

It doesn't hurt though, that I can take my shirt off at the lake, or while riding my bike, or even jogging, and watching somebody's gaze follow my movements. It's a confidence booster, but it's not the reason I do it. Nobody's shallow opinion is worth you working 16 hours a week, but a goal of lifetime fitness is most definitely worth it.

I'm 22, and have no kids currently(Thank God)

Still, I intend to have a few later on in life, and I'll be fit enough to keep up with them until they're my current age. That's something worth working for, wouldn't you say?

Oh man, SuperK may be late to the thread, but best late then never right?


And remember, it's not the size of your build all the time. It's your fitness, your health, and it's how you carry yourself. I'm a runner, so I don't have much bulk, but am very much "in shape"

Carry yourself tall. Not proud because you'll potentially be a douche. Confidence shows, knowing your limits shows. Being down-to-earth shows as well. The phrase "Be Real" has been taken out of context, but in it's purest form, is very true. Be genuine, don't lie to yourself about who you are, wear your own skin, not someone else's.

And of course POST SOME FREAKIN PICTURES.

Here's me and my car! She's a beaut!





You see that broken power pole in the background? That's one of the reasons why the car is as it is

[ethand]

well said, SuperK... However, it would seem your ride doesn't follow your principal of 'wearing your own skin'... she doesn't seem to be wearing skin at all at the moment...
I've gone through & deleted my useless posts haha [dammit it wont let me delete them! ]

[SuperK]

well, she isn't wearing someone else's skin now! It works fine. If you can't wear your own skin, just skin yourself!

[Ryan]

If you guys would like, its not hard to re-create this thread with its original purpose.

[ethand]

well, she isn't wearing someone else's skin now! It works fine. If you can't wear your own skin, just skin yourself!

Hahahaha that's GOLD!

Yeah, Ryan, I reckon that's a good idea - but I'd still rather just get rid of the useless posts on this one, so as to not clog up cyberspace haha
[edit] wait... do you mean, you can delete stuff for us because you're a mod? If so, I'd be all up for that haha
