Oh sorry I didn't mention how it's basically me seeing other people lift heavier or be in better shape and have more graceful form that corrode my motivation now and then. I have headphones on completely to ward off people who sit and chat all day. I mean if people approach me for needing a spotter okay. But yeah it's basically me comparing myself against other people (Which is a serious NO NO NO!) So yeah I crank my music and try to ignore those feelings, not always a guarantee though. I did train my core for a while, usually at home on the weekend so I'll have to get back into the swing of that. It usually consisted of: Planks - 4 x 30 seconds Bicycle Kicks 4 x 20 reps Leg Raises 4 x 20 reps So I'll implement a few more core exercises Thanks for the tips and damn if you're already a giant like Arnie (I'll defiantly ask you for tips and advice in the near future!)  I'll try to tap into my inner Wolf and tell my insecurities to fuck off as I wanna make Gains! Gym is the one true place where you can show your true strength. If you don't bite the iron with your teeth and bend the steel with your knees where else will you show your true potential? No i'm not a giant, but i'm pretty sure i plan on getting very close to one in the next couple of years. I know i can if i keep increasing those weights. For 3 months straight before joining the gym, i used to do a lot of reverse dips, pushups, chinups and crunches. They gave me no shape or whatsoever, but hell the strength was build up under the fat. What really gave me shape until i joined the gym was jogging. I've been jogging since 12 and i never stopped. Hey man don't worry, some have some nice genetics, i've seen people that do no exercise and have a 6pack naturally. Don't worry, give your body time. But hey, what's the point in having those muscles if you don't FEEL THE BURN. I agree with pretty much all you have said. Variety is the spice of life, and in the end a visible sixpack is irrelavant to one's true strength and vitality. Its the struggle that makes one great in the longhual and we're all struggling in one way or another but in the end we'll all be great if we keep pursuing our goals and dreams! Like there is a qoute painted on the walls at my gym that says: "Health and Wellness = Potential"  I disagree with it so much as those are things people strive for. Potential is the promise of possibility! I understand the qoute slightly from a more competative (sports or Olympics) perspective but really the only competition is ourselves and that brances out outside of the gym.  I know many people who wanna loose weight and for them that is where their desires/journey lies. For me it's different (building muscle mass). I know Arnold had a qoute about never being stagnant and always being metaphorically Hungry and I think that is a fundamental aspect of living life is that you can never be willing to stop pushing yourself otherwise you never grow into being a better person. Be content but find new ways of being the person you were always meant to be.  I found I struggle for 2 years in the past. It was body excersises at home and then finally going to the gym. I underwent alot of trial and error, (still do) to finally getting on a rhtymn and discovering that I too can achieve greatness and that there is a door always open for me to be a better man and hopefully be more cofident and compassionate and always humble. I think lately I've been physcially slipping and needing an external boot up the ass with some reassurance and I thank you for being that for me!  Anyway I think the combination of coffee and chicken stew for breakfast is making me go all poetic and general again. I thank you again for making this thread, hopefully others will join in on this and see that we can be a stronger community in more ways then one! <3

I have a tip for you. Don't give a shit about others. Gym gets too crowded? What's the problem you keep talking to people or you wait for the bench to get free? Put some headphones on and stop talking to people. Another tip about the abs. Train them 4 times/week. They need to regenerate like every other muscle in order to grow. Try to do the exercises slow and steady. Like if you do a crunch, hold that crunch for 3 secs then decline.

Well Daaaaayyyuuuuuuuummmmm! You have the workout of a professional (At least it looks like that to me) I want a sexy ripped body too. (Worthy of a Chris Redfield cosplay) My workout is more basic at the moment. So I'll definitely have to refer to this when looking for new exercises and workout routines. Maybe can you message me this post if you get the chance? I been kinda bad lately in only getting 3 days a week lately and missing some exercises due to the schedule miss-calculations with getting reacquainted with graduate studies (Masters). I like to do 4 days a week generally with an hour to 1.5 hour sessions. Weekends my gym gets to crowded to focus properly and I can't seem to do 5 days in a row without get angsty. (Doesn't mean I won't try though and even aspire for 6 days in a row) I'm a super insecure and self-conscious person, so I frequently get distracted by other people which is something I need to work on. I make habit of going early in the mornings to avoid people. Some exercises I do need to work on my form, I've only after a few months actually grasped the notion of putting my ego down and lifting manageable weight even if it is as time only 10 lbs for the Front Dumbell raises. As for reps I leave a wider range depending on my energy levels or when I start doing shit form, which is no doubt every rep. The best advice I can give in general is "Drop the weight and ditch your ego and prioritize safety." I'm guilty of this to this day and had an incident back in Novemebr of 2013 where I was squatting 100lbs WITHOUT a squat rack at the time and I got the bar on to my shoulders in a struggling manner and when I was going on my 4th set, my body kinked out and the bar fell onto my head and I started to lose my balance and fell backwards into a machine behind me. Fortunately I didn't have any permanent injuries. So hopefully by posting this I can recognize that what I can only manage now in terms of weight now is irrelevant to me reaching my dreams in the long haul.
Chest and Shoulders
Decline Bench Press 4 x 8-12 reps Incline Dumbell Pres 4 x 8-12 reps Barbell Shoulder Press 4 x 8-12 reps Dumbell Shoulder Press 4 x 8-12 reps Dumbell Shrugs 4 x 8-12 reps Front Dumbell Raises 4 x 8-12 reps Lateral Dumbell Raises 4 x 8-12 reps Dumbell Bench Press 4 x 8-12 reps Arms x 2 a Week Seated Dumbell Tricep Extensions 4 x 8-12 reps Single Dumbell Skullcrushers 4 x 8-12 reps Hammer Curls 4 x 8-12 reps Seated Bicep Curls 4 x 8-12 reps Tricep Kickbacks 4 x 8-12 reps Barbell Curls 4 x 8-12 reps Legs and Back
Squats 4 x 6-12 reps ( Thinking of doing front squats for a change and Barbell Lunges) Lat Pulldown 4 x 8-12 reps Deadlifts (No doubt with shitty form) 4 x 8-12 reps (I don't trust that I'm doing the exercise right so I'll be replacing this with bent over rows) Leg Press (Machine) 4 x 8-12 reps Leg Extensions 4 x 8-12 reps Seated Cable Rows 4 x 8-12 reps As for diet, I just stick to eating more in general. (At 120 pounds-ish I can afford some weight gain) I'm not pigging out on junk food all day though. Clean Protein food all the way. Like my Eggs and Milk. I have the occasional cookie or salty snack every second day or so. I took Protein Powder in the past, but it wasn't the top notch quality stuff and the taste was awful so I think I'll stick to food for now. Cardio for me is pretty much squeezed in between my commutes and getting around campus, I mostly sprint for shits and giggles though. Anyway thanks for sharing. I'll definitely have to make some changes with my own workout. Feel free to make suggestions as you seem like a real expert. All the best!

It depends on the size dimensions of each image, some members have 3 images.
The rules say: "Maximum signature size is 600 pixels wide by 200 pixels tall. If you have multiple images, they may not exceed this size."'
So as long as you get your # of images within that size you should be fine. If there too big to begin with, just edit via Photoshop.

It is true that alot of the features in RE:ORC were carried over to RE6 (Moving while Shooting, Cover System, Less Contextual Melee attacks and Dodging.) I highly enjoyed RE6's fluidity with the controls. However the problem lies in RE6 is as action-orientated as the series will want to be as it will only alienate fans needing horror only having to look elsewhere and be disappointing further. Sadly Shinji Mikami did a total flop with The Evil Within as well so it's not like survival horror as a genre is exactly thriving, it's barely alive thanks to every game developer making multiplayer games that look all the same in the end. I do feel that RE7 will no doubt be affected from this game on some level so it is fair to be cautious and place mistrust in Capcom. I mean if they ditch the MT framework in the future then modding is hooped for the RE Franchise. For all we know they may use this game to asses how to go about RE2 Remake as well. There are plenty of PvP games out there already with zombies and mindless shooting and cover systems so while this looks good and fun for some, it is very unremarkable for others. I think it's fair to be dissatisfied with the way they are treating this franchise and rushing releases. I hope they only release RE7 under caring circumstances with consideration to their fans in balancing out the horror with co-op and fun gameplay, but with this release of a spinoff, RE future releases may end up being so action orientated, the franchise will be a mere unrecognizable shell of itself and be blown up to bits in a volcano, only to wander the halls as a drunkard longing for the days when games where experiences to enjoy rather than countless repetitive online sessions. That's just my opinion though. To me, "Umbrella Corps" is nothing new. So I say:  At least SF will be consistent as a franchise from Capcom, or are they releasing a spin off puzzle game called "The Chun-Li Chronicles"?

A part of me thinks Resident Evil is officially dying now. Then again I have slight hope this will mean that the series no longer has some of the poorly implemented PvP multiplayer modes from now on. (Looking at RE6 in particular with it's "Survivors"). But I don't know. This will no doubt appeal to some CoD fans and some of the Hunk fans. (I hope that is the ONLY game they get from Capcom under the RE title) I think personally they could've gotten more creative and did some like Outbreak but where you are scientists in the labs while shit is going down, but nope. Another third person action shooter. I may have to pray that the other titles go a more different route than this but right now I don't see that happening.

I know many people who wanna loose weight and for them that is where their desires/journey lies. For me it's different (building muscle mass). I know Arnold had a qoute about never being stagnant and always being metaphorically Hungry and I think that is a fundamental aspect of living life is that you can never be willing to stop pushing yourself otherwise you never grow into being a better person. Be content but find new ways of being the person you were always meant to be.
