wildross Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 The whole "lose weight to grow" meme is pretty well known. I've seen it on 'respectable' marriage counseling/improvement web sites and in books. Never seen where someone documented it on themselves though. I would think that girth should come from better blood flow, which will come from being in better shape cardio wise. Best recommendation of course is from your significant other....(Random observation....there's a giant faberge egg on a trailer next to the bus..) Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Only problem is: it would only affect length. Girth is staying the same.Some are already ok in that department...This is the most entertaining thread I've seen one here thus far.

wildross Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I don't get it.I was on the metro bus and glanced up and there was a pickup truck with a trailer and about a 6' diameter painted egg on it, doing about 55 MPH down the freeway. No idea what it was...Like I said. Totally random observation Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

Pat G Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I gotta say guys. I LOLed through just about the entirety of this thread. Its good to see more advanced members of the community putting up their insight too. All you young fellas without a woman or child, just relax. And no amount of creams or pills or surgical procedures will help you either. DONT LISTEN TO THE SPAM. although.. i do want a good deal on this nigerian property sale.....other things blokes talk about, Facial hair. I have next to none. No handlebar mustachio, no 5 o clock shadow, just some seedy fur and a chinese old man mole hair to twist around. If only i were an old chinese fella with a top bun.Thats alright, i am content with only having to shave once a month. "Strength is the cup.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'd be too scared of being caught. As for the shaving, my wife hates the way my facial hair feels, so I usually stay clean shaven.

Waldo Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 When I don't shave for a month I look like Grizzly Adams's younger brother.For me, just remove the when....Its been a long time since I was last completely clean shaven.

ajdelaware Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Oh this thread.That 30lbs = 1" deal - youre not actually growing more, youre just showing more. The fatty area above your package gets smaller thus not engulfing your unit anymore. I can't grow a proper beard, but I can grow a pretty gnarly neck beard.Also...nothing wrong with manscaping. When I shave my head, I usually end up trimming up my chest hair, armpits, and package. Tempted to shave my arms and legs too, but just seems like too much work. Link to comment

And i'll probably be shaving my legs by the end of the year. For wrestling. Being in tights i either have to wear the trunk tights and shave my legs or go with the long tights. Link to comment
