I've become a fan of wifebeaters

[Rickrock]

You're looking good aristomaniac.

 

[seven2go]

I'm aiming for that look. Still working on it. But I'm getting close.

I have no idea as to your age but, DAMN, you're lookin' good.......

 

[m1thousand]

I like when the wife beater / tank top is lifted up behind your head to show your chest, Id show an example but I dont know what word I would google for that.
Guys are usually jacking off / having sex with the shirt behind their neck

 

[Latimer]

Agreed. I note as well that you have admirable posture. Really important, and often forgotten.

If you rotate your shoulder back, face forward, and adjust the lighting, I think you'd look even closer to the hunk in the first pic. His squared-off pecs are genetic--you're one of the lucky ones if you've got them, too. (My partner has those pecs and I wouldn't have spent as much time talking to him on the beach the first time we met if he hadn't. He tells me it was my green eyes.)

Weighted dips (or a weighted dip machine) could give you a better pec-delt tie-in than he has, and--importantly--the arm vein. The arm vein is pretty essential, I think. I find doing farmer's walks with heavy dumbbells, keeping my torso tight, chest high and rotating the tightly gripped weights as I walk is great for both my arms and delts.

Thank you. Mid 30s. Been working out like crazy for a year.

What's funny was my husband was really thin and I was chubby. We both started working out together with him trying to gain and me trying to lose then tone. He used to wear shirt size small and waist size 28 while I wore shirt size large and waist 34-35. Amazingly enough, we recently met at shirt medium and waist 30-31. So we started wearing the same clothes LOL.

Anyway, he started buying wifebeaters/tanktops for us because... What the hell might as well how off our progress

My goal at this point is to look like one of those guys at the top of the jub page. Probably another year.

It is obvious that you are putting serious work into your fitness regime, it shows. Well done.

Up to now, I've only done dips, pull-ups, chinups, etc. with my body weight. Never tried weighted dips.

I've found that I made the most progress from doing kinesthetics and using dumbbells instead of machines.

Edit.

I'm limping around right now. Leg day yesterday. And we are on vacation haha. Just doesn't feel right for either of us to skip working out.

Hence, I worded the OP for double meaning. You guys are no fun.

was joking I am fun--

a history in film---DeNiro actually may be about to beat his wife.

 

[belamyi]

When it comes to beaters and tops, it's never the clothing, it's the clotheshanger....

I have been following a similar regime and have been wearing wife beaters recently to show off progress

So you two have been upgrading or downgrading your bods

So you two have been upgrading or downgrading your bods

I found out something on my self-improvement journey. Updating my body (hardware) has been hard, but updating my mind (software) to match the hardware is even harder.

When I started, I had big belly and skinny arms. I topped out at 196 pounds and my biggest waist size was 36 inches. Even though that's no longer the case, every time I'm not looking into the mirror my self image in my mind is still a fat dude with skinny arms. I've talked around and others who have gone through the same journey have experienced the same thing. People call it the fat kid who refuses to go away. It's a version of body dismorphia.

In the extreme cases, we see women who won't stop working out even though they are at 2-3% body fat and men who lifts all the time keep trying to get bigger because in their minds they are still either a fat dude or skinny dude even though they already got Greek physigue. For women, it's call anorexia and for men it's bigorexia.

The tanktops are suppose to help with updating the software.

But this is another reason why you see guys flexing to a mirror in the gym. They are actively trying to update their software. I used to see them as in love with themselves too much. Now I understand that it's a necessity.

I only asked if you two had been beefing up or slimming down

He's been beefing up because he was really skinny. I've been on a program to both slimming and bulking. Very hard to do but can be done.

 

[belamyi]

^ Oh, I had asked about Neal and you: I had forgotten about your husband.

[Harke the Boeotarch]

I think they are great. Very manly. They really show who's the boss.

Anybody else here like wifebeaters?

Don't like Ike Turner...
