so school has started, it has eaten into my dwarf fortress time. Never had a girlfriend (wish i did) and cant see any coming up on the horizon. speaking is going well, i have to write an award acceptance speech for hero of the russian federation award so if you could help me think up a backstory for my acceptance speech that would be great. What i have so far is my name and my marital status would be widower so i need to think of an awesome reason im a widower and some accomplishments to be deserving of this award, like being the first cosmonaut to kill  bear in space with his bare hands.

can no one think of awesome russian backstory

You may want to gain some weight if you want those pull-ups to make more than minimal progress.

Not to mention some kinda protein shake.

I seem to have that problem too. Other than just using weight sets I don't really gain much muscle, though I do plenty of upper-body-strength workouts each day. Lifting yourself is easy when you do not weigh much.

You drink creatine every day and weigh 102 pounds? That's odd. Maybe Creatine doesn't do what I think it does.

I would honestly drop the creatine for whey protein, until you gain both some muscle and fat.

@Barbarossa
Are you overdoing it? Most people I work out with switch between two daily workouts so each section gets a day's rest.

Never had a girlfriend (wish i did) and cant see any coming up on the horizon.

My personal belief on that subject is that the bit inbetween parenthesis is a bad position to have. If I meet a girl I like, I would like to have something going with her (yes, I am aware that this asessment is kind of a tautology), but I dont want to have a girlfriend for the sake of having a girlfriend.

I good sir would like to have a girlfriend because it would be nice to have a person to share my deepest feelings with (you just cant do that with guys, they ridicule you.) also I enjoy smooching

Buy a dog instead.

Is there some sort of problem with that? How prudish, sirrah!

Technically it's every day except the weekends, and it consists of...

35 crunches
35 'switchers' (crunches where you alternate which knee you hit with your elbow)
35 side-crunches (on both sides)
35 leg lifts
35 Robbie-O's (I'm not sure why they're called this. You curl up your knees while on your back and then fully extend them, avoiding the ground.)
1 minute of 'Planks' (Lie on the ground with only your forearms and feet touching the ground, back flat.)
35 'Squiggly Monsters' (Hold legs out straight (crossed) and lean back, fold your arms, and alternate which elbow you hit the ground with.)
35 push-ups (Which I fail at due to noodle arms.)

I generally do these after XC workouts. The point is to have a core that can keep you straight while running, instead of your arms twisting around you and stealing your momentum. Generally they aren't very hard except for push-ups. Do you have any tips on making these any more effective?
