I lift sticks with marshmellows on each end. Oh, yeah, like Spongebob. Ha, just kidding. I'm more of an outdoors person, so I usually jog, run (uphill), trampoline, swim or play sports, but I can't really do that right now because its way to fricken cold! I also used to have a dog that I could walk and play with but some bastrd shot him (crying). But oh well, I plan on signing up for kick-boxing at a martial arts academy later. Can't wait for warm weather!

wake up, get shower.

130 situps
50 reps on the bench
30/40 on the butterfly if i have time
100 curls in each arm

And that's it. Do this every weekday, and you'll bulk up in no time. Start off with less, and work your way up to- and beyond- that.

Lmao that's a terrible routine. It's great if you have little time and wanna get in aquick workout, but to do that every weekday? Your body will look so unnatural.

There is absolutly no reason to do more than 10 repititions per set. If you can do more than 10 reps, you need more weight. By doing so many reps, you can put some serious stress on your muscles.

Well I dunno if you mean strictly 10 or less reps for heavy lifting (building muscles) but lifting high reps 15-20 with lower weights not only boosts muscular endurance but also makes the muscles you build lean instead of big and bulky. Which tends to look a tad more on the natural side (in my opinion)

Course you need lean muscles to __________ (cookie to anyone who guesses the sport) well.
