EviLore: Those speakers need to go, man.
You really deserve a nicer stereo than that.

Wow. That is just beautiful.

I have three Ascend Acoustics Sierra-1 reference monitors in front and two CBM-170 SEs for surround, denon receiver, full array local dimming LCD. For what reason exactly would you be talking shit about my home theater setup ;b
He jelly.

Not bad, not bad but for music you could do a lot better. Firstly, a dedicated stereo set-up is a must. I'm talking brands such as Naim, Manley Audio Labs, Audio Research, Focal, Spendor, Rega, etc. Music through a proper stereo (especially with a good turntable for vinyl) is a transformative experience.

Was blitzed well beyond what is probably safe and I have no recollection of this picture. Big ups to New Orleans.

Your eyes are too white to be blitzed! Sounds like you enjoyed bourbon

lol, yeah drunk blitzed. And yes, Bourbon St. is the ish man. I have no idea how people go to college in that town. I would be there partying nightly.
Audiophilia is a disease, and the most common symptoms are delusion and bankruptcy. I'll stick with my current setup for the time being ;b

Fair enough (and this will be my last post on the subject as I don't want to take this thread off topic) but before you write-off the idea completely visit a reputable hi-fi shop and take a couple of your favorite albums with you for a listen. There's a good chance you'll rediscover your music and will want the chance to relive that feeling at home every time you play a track. I've worked in the hi-fi industry for years and many people have walked in skeptical but have left grinning ear-to-ear.
Music is a beautiful thing and a good hi-fi gets you closer to the music.

EL, your fridgemagnets are really getting to me. I dislike Fridgemagnets as a concept, but so neatly organized like that is really driving me insane. Thats so weird! What are they of anyway, they look like trinkets/memorabilia from travels or something.
Yes, I collect magnets from major cities and national parks and whatnot that I travel to.

Oh cool. Did the place come with those cabinets and appliances? The place has a very defined and unified aesthetic which I definitely appreciate.

Instagram shot incoming:
Just ordered a pair of 25lb dumbbells finally. Pretty happy with my progress from just doing pushups for about 3 months now. Not the most flattering picture of me but hey my arm looks awesome, haha.
How many do you do per day? Did you measure your arms?

Bane-Girl must've been jealous.
Goddamn Quesada. Headbutt him next time.
Sad, isn't it, that it still can't be surpassed in greatness?
Beyond hardcore. \m/
Wait, you can get that much progress in only 3 months of pushups? From what I've read you barely see any changes in the first 6 months of work-out.
Mahonay: same question as Izick + what was your diet in the past 3 months?
Good addition, I should have asked that as well. Diet is always a big factor in gaining mass.
Alright, so some people want to know what my regiment is.
Here's the picture I posted originally a couple weeks ago.
For about 4 months straight the only thing I did were pushups. I'd pump out about 20 at a time. Through out the day I'd keep doing them, basically when ever I had the chance to. Sometimes it would just be 10 at a time but just as long as I did them. My arms and shoulders were in some pain for the first week but my body acclimated quickly. I kept doing that every single day. That eventually paid off and I got my arms to what you see in that picture.
TLDR; I did pushups like a crazy man.
Since then I've gotten a pair of 15lb dumbbells, and a pair of 25lb dumbbells when I'm feeling ridiculous. Nothing too elaborate, some basic exercises. Same deal, when ever I'm home and I see the weights, I just pump out some reps quickly. The key is to stay on top of it and just get used to making it part of your routine.
Keep in mind some may to do more than that to see results, using gym equipment and such, I just have a compact slender body that builds muscle very quickly. The only dietary changed I've made is a daily multivitamin pill, eating more fruits and veggies, and cutting out soda almost entirely from my diet.

Errr... you should really be seeing progress within a month or two of working out.
I saw progress after one month.
Also I am trying to eat more often. Which is helping me get bigger at the same time.
Did you measure your arms?
Nope. It was more of a "I want to have muscles again" agenda, haha. No specific goals. Maybe I'll measure in the coming week just to see. I've made some progress even from that picture with weights introduced.

After we had a few drinks I jokingly asked him how he sleeps at night after One More Day.
I'm pretty sure that chicks love little guys with big arms though, so you'll be alright.

20 at a time? I used to do 50 pushups every night and I'm pretty sure I never got there... my body didn't acclimate to the pain either.
Hahah, this certainly wasn't for the the purpose of extra female attention but it has done that certainly.I'm pretty sure that chicks love little guys with big arms though, so you'll be alright.
Maybe try spreading them out through out the day. Doing 50 at a time certainly wouldn't work out for me very well I don't think. Try doing 20 or 30 at two different times of the day spread out from each other. See what that does.
I'm definitely not a pushup expert. My body just seems to respond well to them.
I read that any progress you see after two months is imaginary. I guess that wasn't true. Well, at least that should get me to start working out
How long does it usually take for other people to see that you've been working out?
Depends what your body build is like and how much working out changes that.I read that any progress you see after two months is imaginary. I guess that wasn't true. Well, at least that should get me to start working out

For me I was already kind of broad in the shoulders in chest so people really didn't take notice until this past month. That was after 3 months. But 3 months of a pretty minimal routine. A more intense routine would likely have noticeable changes taking place quicker.
For me it didn't matter if people noticed. When I took off my shirt I could already see how much bigger up top I've gotten. Just that alone felt good for someone that's usually a skinny twerp.
Absolutely, form is everything. Don't bother doing the pushup if you're not going to do it right.

Really depends on the person. Some people are able to lose/gain weight a lot faster than others. Also depends on how well you're working out and your diet.
But, generally speaking, people will see change before you do. I saw benefits from doing P90X within two months of doing it and I've certainly had family comment on it within that time frame.
That said, I'd been working out well before doing that routine and personally didn't see any appreciable difference. Though I did have roommates comment on it so... yeah. Generally before you notice it.
