Yeah, when I was in Dallas, I trained weekly with a guy at Equinox. Thankfully, I did my due diligence and we clicked on my goals and how to get there. A lot of the other trainers there were next to worthless though. Pretty, but useless. If you're going to pay $250-350/hr for a trainer at a high-end gym, you really need to figure out if they're right for you. What are you doing now to keep in shape?

Anonymous reddit isn't exactly what I'd call a reliable source, but I agree that there's no such thing as 100% protection in this. I'll wait until there's published medical studies done to judge how effective this vax is. My advice for now is for everyone at risk to get vaccinated and to exercise good judgement. That and a nickle will buy you a cup of diner coffee 😄

Sorta, kinda, but not really. All that glitters is not gold. Many trainers get those bodies through SARMS or straight juice. That's not only cheating, but totally fucks up your endocrine system in the longrun, as well as sexual performance, acne, anger and hair loss. It's a shit deal for the gains. Trainers who train properly and treat their bodies like temples have my respect. You can easily tell by watching how they lift and how they train others to lift. Olympic lifts are only a small portion of making gains. I would never work a trainer who wasn't also proficient in kettlebells, TRX, compound movement and HIIT. It's one thing to look fit, but it's another thing to actually be fit. I want to always BE fit.

I don't really have an evening 'prime time' schedule. I work longer-term and travel gigs.

You know that, yes, but based on a lot of conversation here, a lot of other guys don't.

Correction: Hire an APPROPRIATE trainer for your goals. Like some here, don't just hire 'pretty' guys that you're attracted to. Credentials matter. Consider females as well. This is about goals and pushing past plateaus, not fucking your help.

As an aside to your training, long cardio produces slower results than HIIT. If you can do HIIT workouts or go to a studio that offers them (OrangeTheory, Barry's Bootcamp, etc), you'll see much faster progress. As for collagen, a daily scoop (20mg) of collagen peptide in tea or coffee does the trick for me. It sounds like you're on the right path 👍

Got my second dose this morning. Wasn't as difficult to find as I thought.

And there you have it kids... A longtime, respected member here lays down the truth 👍

This. You don't need to consult a message board. You need a good doctor to guide you and prescribe the right RX. It's not about what other folks do... It about what's best for you and your sexual health.

First, a shredded body is not 15-18% bf. It's really sub 10. That's when everything pops. Shredded also means low water weight. Bottom line, a great body is made in the kitchen. If you're not willing to go that far, I'd recommend intermittent fasting. The 16:8 method personally works well for me. Cardio 5x a week. Lighter weights, max reps. HIIT training.

If you're giving love to Mrs Dash, you also better not forget about her girl Molly McButter...

Any trainer or doc worth their salt will tell you that a great/healthy body is not just made in the gym, but really in the kitchen. Self-control is not something most people have in spades.

Can confirm. It's... Unreal. Plus, I've had a quiet dislike of him since watching him ruin Hedwig on Broadway. I can't seem to wash away that memory.

I think it all depends on the guy and what his gym goals are. There are days when I really don't want to be bothered when lifting. I'm in the zone and it's a pain in the ass for me to have to stop and make conversation or even look at my phone. I have Airpods in and a playlist that doesn't require me to screw with my device. Just a set it and forget it kinda thing. Not that I haven't hooked up from a gym (or, yeah, in a gym), but it's not what I expect when I go in. My main concern is pushing past plateaus and keeping in the best shape I possibly can be. Edit: I also think there's a large subset of the younger generation that doesn't know how to flirt or easily converse on an in-person, intimate level.

Agreed. Took me years to embrace my ginger bush. Would never shave it down again.

Yup... Nike Pro and SKINS are my faves.

Yes, he should have. I think it's only fair to at least have a discussion about a rate decrease for the trip. That he never even addressed it is problematic to me. Yes, we all get sick and that can't be helped, but if you're an escort who's down and out on a prepaid trip, offering a discount or future credit would be the professional thing to do.

This. 100%. I was taught growing up that 'money screams and wealth whispers.' You immediately make yourself a target when you dress in label from head-to-toe. That said, expense does make some people feel better about themselves and give them the confidence boost they need to get through life. As long as they're not being shitheads about it, I say live and let live. As to the socks, I think they're atrocious.

Bottom line, when you stop moving, you start dying. Eating right and exercising isn't unrealistic when you realize what the alternative is/does.

You win. 👏👏👏

Piranha is an S&M club... Stand & model. Very little touching. No private rooms. Added, people go there for the drag shows, not the gogos. They have multiple shows, nightly.

That usual dose of Geritol hit hard tonight, eh?

I'm disappointed no one's gone for the obvious 'Well, he can fuck you and then REALLY fuck you' lawyer punchline.

But he's too busy feeding various media outlets the plotline of how 'brave' he's been through all of this. We musn't forget our true priorities.
