Well, look at the bright side, 42% of the nation will be obese by 2030, so as long as you stay average sized you'll practically be an Adonis.

I know this is from a few pages ago, but couldn't the obseity rate be due in large part because of all the sedentary-rear end old people laying around eating and waiting to die? I live in the skinniest state in the country so maybe my perspective is skewed, but most younger people seem to be in pretty good shape.

Just an FYI, any "research" conducted on supplements isn't legit clinical research and is "conducted" by people paid money by the very companies producing the products. Unless you're roiding the most likely effect from supplements is kidney damage. It's all snake oil.

If you only want to lift for 30 minutes you shouldn't have a workout partner anyways. 30 minutes is fine for one person to get like ~5 lifts in depending on how you're breaking up your workouts, but for a good lift with another person you need like an hour and a half.

Crossfit is loving horrible, WODs are stupid, traditional cardio + strength training is the way to be.

Looking up is likely to help your form, but it's not really necessary to do it forever once you got like muscle memory or whatever.

edit: I always look up out of habit, but if you know what you're doing it's not like it's a problem or anything.

Your calves are small cause your not doing enough calf raises. If calf raises aren't helping then guess what you got small legs God hosed you.

I read on some body building blog you have to do sets of 50 or something ridiculous.

or do roids or synthol or whatever.

Yah that's exactly right. Your calves are going to react to tons of reps. If you're lifting for weight on your calves you will never notice any difference in them, the shape is largely defined by your genetics and the only way you'll get around that is giving them a good pump. If they aren't naturally big they're going to be nasty looking when you build them up

Hey anyone know a good way to work up to a marathon? Gotta work all this fat I've put on over the past six months. Just been lifting and doing little to no running. I haven't run over 2 miles the whole time.
