    Danger: The Friend-Zone

    So here's my story for you: Like many of these stories, I met a girl who I initially had no attraction to. I just thought she was the typical boring bogan. But then we started having some really deep conversations about spirituality, issues from our past, family, failed relationships etc. I...

    Lift to live vs Live to lift

    Sup so I've hit a new brickwall and I need a new force to give me back the drive. When I first started lifting, it was because I was very discontent about my lack of strength, my appearance and my lack of health / fitness. That discontent made me go crazy and so I ate super clean, slept on...

    damn, Tall women

    Tall women make me feel small and miserable about myself. Meeting / seeing a tall woman (who's also cute) is like nature's way of saying "ba ha ha, you're an ant.. that cute girl is way bigger than u". I'm writing about this because today at my gym, there were a few women from some netball...

    the way my body grows

    I've been following beginner's program by Markos, since October last year. I've been making kickass strength gains overall. I'm almost there in making all the 1RMs. Something I have noticed is that my chest muscles (in terms of strength and size ) develop quicker than my legs, upper back and...

    is it damaging to health to eat too much protein

    I've been having arguments about this one with several people who're not comfortable with the way i eat. I don't know why they make my diet their business.. they have their own stupid lives to worry about. But anyway, i'd really like to get to the bottom of this, as it's bugging me. I'd like...

    sup folks, I need some advice from the players and pimps here (like Ceffo) on how to hook up with women at clubs. Any help is much appreciated.. particularly on how to open a convo, read signals and the type of swagger to use. I guess this is a bit of a vent session as well and a self...

    milk kills my stomach

    I can consume yoghurt fine but as soon as i have a reasonable quantity of milk (let's say 200 - 400ml), my stomach feels screwed. Repeated churns, the runs etc. could this be some form of lactose intolerance? If it was, i'd expect I'd have the same problem with yoghurt too, but i'm fine with...
