I was just wondering how many comic book fans are into fitness, weight lifting etc. I know with me Lou Ferrigno inspired me as a kid and was probably a big part in sending me on my way to weight lifting later as a teen. Of course Sylvester Stallone Rocky movies really helped get me going to. I guess if I had to pick a superhero I most had the chance of looking like it would have to be Wolverine. It's a goal. So do other comic fans have the desire to actually look like superhero... fitness wise that is? I'm not about to wear a spandex suit. Unless it's for a movie.

I think I'm more along the lines of the Blob

While I'm on the subject here's Hugh Jackman's workout. Wayne gee whiz don't be so hard on yourself. I feel like a blob myself to tell you the truth. I'm constantly trying to lose that last bit around my stomach , but it refuses to go away. Being an adult really stinks. I have to eat healthy all the time now just to keep from gaining. Lately I've been eating carrots, apples, bananas, and even the dreaded spinach. I may, just may, have noticed a slight increase in strength since I've started eating the spinach. Till this month I don't think I've ever touched the stuff before.

When I was 16 I was really into Marvel comics, and I wanted to start buffing up like my hero, Captain America. I used to be skinnier and not that strong. He had a lot to do with me getting into weightlifting. Possessing the build of Captain America was my goal back then, and it still is to this day.

Say if anybody knows where on the net Lou's workout routine is posted, post a link or something. I can't find it. It looks like from the video he uses moderate weight maybe with a lot of strict reps, but I know most of the time body builders go with 6-10 reps of heavy weight.

I've taken 3 years of weight training + my 13yr experience as a martial artist. If you want a weekly plan, i can whip one up in no time. if anyone want, send me an e-mail* of a basic week giving me time you have off to work out for each day and I'll give you an idea for plan. * Lectrohm@yahoo.com __________________ Bzzp. hehe Twitter Road of Lightning

Stallone could take 2 fingers around your neck and squeeze it and your head will leterally pop off.

Stallone thing? If it is, you would half to have over 20years of work-out. From Stallones first Rocky, to the Rambo 4, if you've seen all of them, you'd know what I mean.

I can understand guys wanting to get all muscly and whatnot, but for me... I dunno, girls can really go overboard on the whole 'muscled out' look. I don't favor to it. Slim and short is how I've always been, I've never really been able to get ripped~ (did I use that right? ripped?). __________________ I can only express puzzlement, that borders on alarm

Well slim is good when you get older mainly because keeping skinny is really hard. I'd rather be skinny than obese. I'm wanting to look like a cross between Stallone and Bruce Lee. Or maybe look like Stallone and fight like Bruce Lee. I could dig running up walls like Jackie Chan too.

Daredevil is an excellent movie to work out to. Like run on the treadmill or hit the punching bag.
