A question to experienced gym users who are knowledgable!?

You should be running anyway though, I don't know if you are into body building or something but if you want to really be in shape you don't want to go purely on muscle mass.

Why do i feel so weird about this?

if your not ready to tell your parents about you and your boyfriend yet, it's okay! 2 and a half months isn't a long time... It's not as if you've been hiding him 2 and a half years... Just give it time, once you're comfortable, tell them about him :-)

To those who say that the catholic church was created by Constantine?(just something to consider)?

Emperor Constantine - said to have converted on his death-bed May 22, 337 AD. Your sources - AD 110-180. The math seems pretty straight-forward.

Should I give up on her?

First of all: are you SURE you want to make it happen? Because to me, she doesn't sound like a very nice person. I personally don't think she's right for you. If she keeps making fun of you in public and stuff, and is rude like that... why would you want to be with her? She's just going to continue doing that. And sorry to be harsh, but it sounded like she was flirting with the other guy too- trying to get his attention. Sorry, but you should rethink this, and be 100% sure that you do want to make it happen with her. To me it sounds like a waste of time on somebody who isn't worth it...

I'm getting mixed signals! Does he like me?

There's this guy that I have had a crush on for the longest time. We have been hanging out a lot lately and having a lot of fun! However I am getting mixed signals. According to a few of his friends he likes me but I'm not sure. He hasn't made a move yet. But I'm told that's cause he's shy? Whenever we hang he also pays, opens the car door, etc. But he is also just a gentleman like that. We usually text everyday but the past few days we haven't. It's driving me crazy not knowing if he likes me or not. Do you think he does? Also, I'm someone who likes to hear it straight from the source. So what is a way I could ask him without making it awkward?

How do I get muscular?

Right now I'm 5"9' 200 pounds and I'm fat. I wanna get slim and muscular. How can I go about gettings abs, pecs, and arms, etc. I'm going on a diet starting tommorow with a trainer.

If I tell others they are doomed to Hell, am I practicing hatred?

as a christian, i do not tell anyone what their fate may be. we were commanded not to judge. that is reserved for God alone. as christians, we should spread the gospel, which includes specifics for what is sinful, but we should not take it upon ourselves to do God's job and condemn anyone for anything.

Muscle recovery question?

So 2 days ago I did upper body, workout, including abs, biceps, pecs, triceps and forearms. To start with I didn't spend much time stretching before or after but I have rested my body a ton and eaten a lot of healthy food and protein. The pain is mainly in areas I had started to put more focus on (pecs and triceps). But the point is I am still sore as heck! Just every movement hurts it, did not properly stretching make the soreness worse? Or is it just the muscles got sort of a "surprise"?

Do I have a chance with this girl? Please help, gentlemen and ladies?

You do have a chance with her - she tells you things that she normally wouldn't discuss with strangers right? That means that you're really easy to talk to. You guys sounds like really good friends even though you've known each other shortly. I say keep this thing going - it's good. Keep talking to her, listening to her, etc. When she breaks up with her boyfriend, be her shoulder to cry on (if she needs one). Then this friendship will turn into a relationship if you guys want it to, and everything will work out. This sounds like a promising relationship - good luck!

How do I get a job as a cocktail waitress at a gentlemen's club?

I live in Indiana. I'm 19 with a liquor license I'd just like a little help with what to do/how to act before I walk in there and look stupid?

Do Catholics break God's number one commandment, or not?

Veneration means to "honor" someone, and we Catholics certainly do honor the one woman in the history of the human race who cooperated in God's plan of salvation in such a singular and essential way - bringing the Savior of mankind into the world! The Bible says all generations will call her blessed! But we certainly do not worship her. Worship of anyone other than God Himself would be a form of idolatry, as clearly explained in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Idolatry is described there as "incompatible with Christian life". Yes, adoration IS the same as worship. We do not adore/worship anyone but God. We venerate or honor the saints. A statue is not an idol unless you worship it, and Catholics do not pray either TO statues or THROUGH statues (whatever that means), so there are no idols in the Catholic Church.

What would it take, for people of all faiths, to see that Islam is the truth?

Well i dunno about for people of all faiths, but for those of us of no faiths, evidence would be the best way to convince.

Why do the anti-gun zealouts claim that?

Weapons make it easier to kill people. People kill people. Whenever a weapon is more efficient (like bombs, machine guns) more people die. Sure it is people's fault not the bomb's, but the fact remains.

Most sexy muscles on a Man?

Abs. Definatly. They are a HUGE turn on. But at the same time, we dont like a guy with perfect abs and nothing else, so you have to make sure you have a little bit of everything.

From the story of Jesus, do you gather the message that no more taking of lives is required sacrifice to show?

as required to show reverence to God? If so, shouldn't we begin to do the same to show loyalty to our nations? (After all, we've had 1,980 years to think about this)If so, remember to honor the old ones who killed for us(even if they are 50 years younger than you), but say "sorry, it's non-profitable nowadays,and it's not decent to donate slaughtered remains to my favorite charity", so be sure to put the 'safety' on on your weapon of common defense. Is this sensible, in-effect, a global armistice? Then what shall be our fight for each? (Note this question is not intended as religious or political)

Why are my muscles deteriorating?

I eat right, and I take in a lot of calories. I make sure that I get enough protein because I am trying to build muscle (I'm in training for the Coast Guard), yet my muscles are getting weaker rather than stronger. I used to be able to bench 20lbs more than I can right now, and my arms have, like, no definition at all. My pecs are shrinking too. My legs are getting weaker, I can't run as as far or for as long, I can only do 150 situps at a time where as I used to be able to do pretty close to 300... I don't understand why I'm weaker now than I was when I first started working out. Anyone have any ideas?

Does the mirror lie? ?

I don't really have all that high self esteem but I work out a good amount and when I look in the mirror I see a guy with decent pecs nice abs and alright sized biceps but my family says I'm too skinny or that my arms are to small. I know that if what I saw in the mirror actually was reality then what my family says is wrong. So can I assume that what I see in the mirror is what I actually look like?

Have you been out with someone who expected perfection/high expectations from you?

I went out with a guy who I thought was such a gentleman, classy, and genuine. The first time we met we get along sooo well, it was "to natural".During dinner, it felt like a freakin job interview. I know you're supposed to get to know each other but dang, I wasn't expecting to get asked all these "wifey" questions and get judged on it. I am who I am and will not apologize for it but the whole time, he made it seem like my answers weren't "good enough" or not what he was looking for. I'm a lady, good girl, friendly/easygoing, gets along w. everyone. I'm not your average woman, I'm me. And here's this guy, asking, "do you get along w. your co-workers? are you an angry person?" WTH?! I appreciate honest/straight forward people but really? Even if I did give him "answers" he was looking for, you're not really gonna get these answers unless you back it up with experience and observation. It's like "oh she didn't give me the answers I wanted, that saved me such heartache." He just made me feel like I wasn't "good enough" and came across as judgmental and it's like he kept asking questions to make sure he didn't get hurt. Like, "if i get these answers, i'll know if she'll screw me over or not..." He never called. Maybe it's a blessing. It's been a while and in my head, any respectable person would not want to be w. someone so judgmental and have a "job interview" experience but I can't help but be a bit traumatized by it still. I think it's because I didn't go through the motions; I avoided feeling rejection bc I was afraid it would make me feel worse and lead me on a path of self-wallowing and self pity. (I USED to be like that before and took rejection badly but for the past 2 yrs, I've been surprisingly better about it). All I know is that I'm a busy gal and I don't like people being indecisive and wasting my time. I'm just tired of guys who are so interested but never completely pursue me all the way...i deserve better...

Am i too small for girls to like me?

Im so depressed. i mean i have some abs, and mini pecs. Im basically as big as my body will allow, but imstill just so small.

How do people believe that a man who we have no evidence for existing is the prodigal human?

i dont understand christian theology in this respect? how can a man that history cannot even pin down as existing be the prodigal human? i mean i dont understand this reverence of jesus considering according to the bible he didn't make a huge sacrifice considering he got his life right back... he didn't give up anything in this sacrifice... he wasn't all of that nice of a person, he told his followers to sell their clothes and buy swords... he drove a villages pigs off a cliff(wasted all of their food)... like i could understand calling him a person but the perfect person? no not by a long shot...
