Hahahaha. Thanks Mal, I just don't think I could bring myself to wear a speedo.

Hehehe...Mal, I can only agree.

Any kind of spandex will do

or shirtless and levis would work too

ok get my mind back on track

your website will be extremely successful and I look forward to thelaunch of it - and I promise (on my honor as a former girl scout) that I would even behave myself and only harrass people when asked to

Page 2 Mals Before & After picture thread.. a lil something for ya. Enjoy!!!

Have a great weekend!

Wow Steve, I would have thought you work out for much longer than 45 minutes. What about running? Are you good at running?

This is Steves answering Machine:
He's gone to Columbus to the Arnold expo for the weekend - barring any expo patrons kidnapping him and makig him their love slave, he will return after the weekend

Feel free to leave a message and if he's not too partied out -he'll return it as soon as possible

Steve, you are such an asset to this board, so I am going to pick your brain too...

I just joined the gym, increased my cals to 1500 (from 1200), when I go there I really am not sure what to do! So far this week on Mon tues wed and thursday I went and stayed for about an hour and a half. I either do the treadmill at 4 mph with a small incline for 45 inutes or the elliptical set on the Interval mode for 30 minutes. Then I will do the different machines, such as the hip adjuction thing, the row machine and various other machines like this with the weights at 30 pounds, doing about 30 reps. So I have really no rhyme or reason. What would you suggest? I really want to tone and tighten things up!

Hahah... too funny.

Are you asking if I am in shape? If so, the answer is yes. I do run, but very reduced and low intensity while bulking.

You don't need much to get the desired results. That is why I always say, most of your success comes from the nutrition side of things.

Thanks Mal!

so no one kidnapped you then? excellent - i can put my plan into action then

So, I had an excellent time at the Arnold Fitness Expo. Would have liked to have met more people from the web who I had planned on seeing.... but things did not work out.

The expo itself was extremely crowded. A little too crowded for my liking. When you can feel the body heat of people all around you, you can't move if you tried, and you have someone's sweaty arm in your face.... it tends to rub you the wrong way. But it was certainly cool to see all the attractions.

Far too many juiced up meatheads for my liking as well.

I did get to experience the night life in Columbus as well, which was surprisingly awesome. Friday was a messy day in terms of drinking. We drank from 2 PM until 4 AM. This is not something I am proud of, and we certainly paid the price with nasty hangovers for the rest of the trip. But I can say that it was the most fun I have had in a long while.

Hope everyone is well!

awww a little drunken revelry is good for you... it's not like you do it every day?

Fun is good for you and glad you had lots.. you surely are entitled

Thanks Mal, very rare that I get like that. I don't really regret doing it. Maybe a little less consumption would have been wise though, I am still feeling the aftermath.

as much as I would love to get like that every so often - the recovery time is just too long i blame it on age for me - but you're still a young pup...

Have a nice big glass of water, a triple espresso, and a nap... and a dennys ultimate omelette and you'll be good as new.... or maybe just a protein drink

we'll be sure to whisper today
