| | | We gave him another 10 blows each today. I guess we had been conned. Huh? We shouldn't complain as it is difficult to find a guy willing to be our punching bag for us to let go our tension. |

He said that this is an alternative to sit-ups and abs crunches and it is effective because he had to hold his breathe and pull his abs inwards to withstand our blows.
Is this type of abs exercise valid or is he just pulling our legs? | It'll get him used to taking a punch by you and your friend in the stomach. Nothing more, nothing less. |

Totally legitimate, just like "groin massage". Oh yeah, if you massage the groin it'll let your quads relax, improve blood flow and help circulation. To be effective you'll need to use both hands, and don't hesitate to get orally involved either. Your committment to fitness is entirely being challenged here; suck it up! |

Friendship is a relationship too. Friendship can be close but not necessary intimate. My relationship with my mate was built based on our mutual acquaintances as running friendship. |

| | See....the thing is, men see this and we're in awe of how sexy, beautiful and downright HOT it is. Then, by virtue of wearing cycling shorts and what-not, we imagine that we somehow throw-off a derivitive of this heat and woman might find it appealing in the similar manner that us men look at this picture and something strikes a chord. Who wouldn't want to have this sort of body and the sensation of feeling so sexy?

| | | And this is what happens when some overweight moron thinks he can pull it off, can we readily identify the distinction?
Don't click to enlarge, cause it's just plain wrong on all counts... |

| | | I wore those bike shorts, which caught the convenience store clerk's eye a while back, in a bike tour... And OMG, one of the after-race pictures of me left no doubt about why she kept looking down there. Those shorts are a big advertisement!!! I look like those Polish riders in red shorts whose picture has floated around the cycling forums for a few years, except mine were grey. You can clearly distinguish my circumcision status. It's a good thing I wasn't excited when I saw the convenience store clerk. |

| | | LOL....you should have looked in the mirror before buying them or leaving the house!
The color black is your friend, I won't wear any cycling shorts, bibs or triathlon suits that don't have black around the crotch. You also want a good pad for sake of comfort while in the saddle for hours....and if you have a proper fit and a good quality make, you should be getting some compression from the fitment. The end result is a pretty discrete slight bulge that almost leaves you worrying that people may think you're tiny or had some surgery in Sweden. Light colors and thin pads are a mistake!
LOL....many top-end pads actually have a crease down the center of the pad which is there to specifically eliminate/reduce a certain pressure that the saddle can place on a nerve/vein; this crease down the center of the pad almost looks like woman's camel-toe!
You know what it really comes down to....there are certain perverts and exhibitionist who wear lycra because it's just one fabric-layer away from being naked. They don't want pads, dark colors of shirts long enough to cover things...and it's individuals like this who ruin it for athletic/normal guys.
I'm happy that I've lost enough weight and am athletic enough to wear lycra. I like the moderate attention woman give me and it's a bit of a rush having gals check me out, it makes me feel attractive and inspires me to be more fit. It's comfortable & functional, but it has to be done tastefully and only worn in situations that are appropriate (cycling, swimming, etc). Frankly, it really bothers me that so many gay men and perverts/exhibitionist have aligned with wearing lycra as well....it degrades it. There are a few other guys on this forum who have mentioned to me that they like the way it makes their upper-body look bigger and they too like a bit of female attention...BUT they're hesitant to post on this thread because of the assocation with the perverted aspect of things. Oh well, such is life. |  | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
