Muscle in Progress

I swear, the weekends move by WAY too quickly.  Another week is upon us, and that means it’s time to re-evaluate and see how we all did last week.  I hope you guys hit new heights in your lives both personally and professionally!   I know that I had a GREAT week professionally heheh.  Personally, still single and looking.. anybody out there want a sweet romantic almost 30 year old guy to come home to every day?   I swear, it’s tough dating in a society where body image is so important hehe.

Oh well, there’s no use “crying” about it, right?   On to the inspiration for this week’s workout!  Our first hottie of the week looks like one of those hot bartenders at the local gay bar.  I dont’ know what those waiters and bartenders do to stay in such great shape, but damn.. I wanna know!

Our next hottie could probably make anyone drool all over himself   His chest is nice and full, a nice lean stomach and a nice set of arms that probably bulge out nicely when flexed hehe.  And just look at that seductive look on his face.  Apparently I have that look too sometimes.. when I want to look that way hehe

Our next bit of inspiration features a whole plethora of hotness, don’t you think?  Each of these guys has a lean stomach, a great chest, and just exudes testosterone.  And you know what?  I’m sure hiking with them is a lot of fun!

But for those of us who are more “ocean” people, maybe this guy will inspire you to hit the waves?  I mean just look at him… his body is incredible!  A hot set of abs, a firm chest, and that look in his eyes could make anyone drool.  He kind of reminds me of this volleyball player I used to know in college.  Hmmm…

Our last guy, however, is my absolute favorite for the week.  I just look at him and drop to my knees hehe.  He’s got it all…. a big chest, a killer set of abs, and some huge biceps.  He has what I want for myself.  Who knows, maybe once I’ve built myself up like that, he’ll come walking through the door and sweep me off my feet heheh

Until next week hotties

I seriously think this woman is off her rocker…  So, this may be old news for some, but it’s new news for me.  Continually adding to her pile of crazy ideals, Sarah Palin apparently now expects rape victims to pay for their own rape kits.

What is a rape kit, you ask?  Well it’s a little kit that investigators and hospitals use when someone claiming to be raped comes in.  It contains items and tools used to collect blood, hair and semen samples if necessary and can help detect if a person has been raped, and if DNA samples are available, to pinpoint the assailant of the crime.

Traditionally, the kits are paid for by the governement, but apparently Sarah Palin feels that rape victims should be forced to pay for their own rape kits.  Now, these kits are used in crime investigations and can be submitted as evidence in a criminal trial.  Now the victim has to pay for the kit to find out who the criminal is and to put him/her in jail?

What the hell?????  Here’s an article in US News all about it.

Hey Gang!  I’m so sorry about being late with this week’s batch of inspiration… and you know, I’m totally exhausted from work and my brain is completely dead.. so this will probably be one of those rare posts where I think the pics will speak for themselves…  hope you dont’ mind the lack of commentary   Have a fantastic rest of the week my friends!!

Ok so I had to make one statement.. I’m torn between the guy above and the guy below… I would marry either one in a heartbeat!!  Hmm now if I can make myself look like them hehehe then maybe I could actually pick them up

Well, what’dya know?  It’s Monday already!  Sheesh!  Where does the time fly, huh?  Another week beginning, another week of challenges to be encountered.  On the positive side, my lower back pain is finally starting to go away so I hope I’ll be back in the gym hitting the iron on schedule .

Anyway, Mondays also bring the week’s batch of inspiration for you guys to use in the gym.  Remember, life is what you make of it, and only you can stop yourself from achieving a healthy lifestyle with the hot bod to match!   Our first hottie of the week looks like he knows how to enjoy life, don’t you think?  Just look at that smile on his face…he knows that his hard work in the gym has paid off .  And oh my, has it ever!  A solid set of pecs resting above a lean set of abs that disappear down into a tight pair of jeans.  And check out that tiny patch of hair below his navel…mmmm….

Our next hottie looks pretty mean, but he does remind me of another great way to burn off the fat…boxing!  Have you ever looked at those UFC fighters or those professional boxers?  With certain exceptions, the majority of the boxers out there are lean, tight and highly muscular.  And just take a look at this guy… a thick chest, nice firm biceps, and a lean but mean 6pack.  What more could a guy want??  Oh and there’s that treasure trail again…mmmmmm

Now you know I couldn’t leave out those of you who are looking for the more “bulky” look.  Our next guy obviously spends a lot of time in the gym, and is very proud of what he has accomplished.  His thick chest, muscled abs, and incredible arms make him a fine example of great musculature!

Our last hottie for the week is a great reminder that with as much work as we put into our bodies at the gym, it’s also important to get out and feel the world around us…and of course having a blast while doing it!  His body is amazing, don’t you think?  Hot pecs, boulder biceps and a ripped pack of abs!  I’m so jealous heheh   Anyone know where I can find this guy?  Hahahha just kidding…

Well that’s it for this week!  Happy building!  Have a good one, everybody!  And don’t forget, eating properly is just as important as weight and cardio training, so make sure you eat properly proportioned meals often throughout the day!

Seriously, folks… there is something seriously wrong with this woman.  I’ve only seen the first part of her interview with Charles Gibson so far, and she’s avoided giving a direct answer to any of his questions about US Foreign policy or the war in Iraq, but rather gave answers that basically told us that she favors the war in Iraq, and that basically, if Israel felt threatened by Iran, that she would support the US backing up Israel in a war if it came to that.

This is also the same woman who said that the Iraq War is God’s plan… and that “our” administration is acting on a mission given from God… umm, am I the only one who thinks that a comment like that is oddly familiar to the same mentality that started the Crusades???

Apparently this woman also wanted to force Alaska’s public schools to teach Creationism rather than Evoluiton Theory…and tried to get a librarian fired because she felt the library was featuring some books that were too controversial.  Hmmm someone else smell a “book burning” coming on?  I would think that anyone with an intellectual mind would see the value of contradicting thoughts and theories in an effort to allow people to form their own opinions.  Now I hear that she wanted to file suit against the government to take Polar Bears off the endangered species list, so that the guys who were laying Alaskan oil pipelines could shoot down the bears who are blocking the path.

And this woman is also “proud” to send her son off to war??? Hmmm something is WRONG with this woman, people….  Oh yeah, and let’s not forget that she went to 4 or 5 universities before she finally received her degree.  In fact, she even did some time at the University of Hawai’i-Hilo and Hawai’i Pacific University before she dropped out of both schools and went to other schools.

Oh oh oh… and my favorite part… she apparently wants to get rid of sex education in the public school system?  Is she completely nuts???

I just had to crack up when I saw a small clip from “The Insider” who was on her private jet recently.  This ultra conservative Republican has a personal flight attendant who’s flaming to high heaven!  Hahahahah!!!  Oh, the irony!!!

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock and missed it… Please watch this.. your life depends on it.

Lordy, lordy, lordy.. is it Monday already??   The beginning of a nother work week.. and can you believe that it’s September already?   Oh well, it being Monday…that also means it’s time for our weekly dosage of visualization to help you all in the gym!  The guys this week range from bulky to lean and lanky, so whatever your goals are, I hope there’s something for everybody.

Our first guy is built for those of you who aspire to something on the leaner side of life… maybe running is your passion, or swimming… if that’s the case, then perhaps this body is for you!  Lean, tight abs and obliques, a firm chest, and that nice “V” line to complete the package… yum

For those who want something a bit more muscled, maybe our next guy is more your speed.  Who knows what he does in his every day life, but I’m sure he takes his health seriously and feeds his body good quality proteins and vegetables   He’s got a great set of arms, a solid 6pack, and a hard chest to match!  Don’t you love it?

Our next guy is just wow… What I love about him is that he’s lean but muscular… he obviously spends a good amount of time in the gym, but he doesn’t LIVE in the gym.  A nice firm chest with a lean stomach is all I need personally heheh

For those of you who aspire to a more bulky look, maybe this hot guy has what you’re looking for.  He’s got broad shoulders, a big firm chest, an incredible set of arms, and still a lean mid-section.  I wonder what he might be hiding under that cloth though hehe

Our last guy for this week, however, makes me so hot and sweaty, that I need to take a cold shower myself!  Hmmm maybe he has room in that outdoor shower for me   A nice big chest and firm stomach…matched with a pair of big arms.. yum!

Well I hope everybody has a fantastic week!  It’s also the beginning of football season so be on the lookout for all those crazy and hot college fans who love ripping off their shirts!  Hell, why don’t ya get out there with them and have a ball!   See ya!

Hmm is it just me or was that speech John McCain gave tonight at the Republican National Convention the most general and boring speech ever given?  Granted, I was only able to catch the last part of his speech, but to me… I was getting tired of hearing “I believe” and “we have failed” without any detailed explanation of how he plans to make the country better.  It’s one thing to say that you’re going to make our education system better, or that you’re going to lower taxes… but hello… it’d be nice to know exactly HOW you plan on accomplishing this kind of stuff???

And how can someone say that they’re going to protect the planet and clean up the environment and then soon after say that we need off-shore drilling??? Uhhh last time I checked, drilling anywhere hurts the environment??

And I don’t even know how he gets off blaming Obama for some tax cuts for the rich businesses.  Again, maybe it was just me, but didn’t it look like EVERY single person in that audience has at LEAST a million dollars to their name?  And I think I saw maybe…. 2…  3 people of color?  Great picture of the general public right?

Just a thought… hehehe.

It’s finally happened.  I bought a car!   Oh the days of riding public transportation and taking 2 hours to get anywhere are behind me .  And I have to say… I LOVE my new car.  Now the car in the pic isn’t of me, but the car is exactly the same… a 2008 Honday Civic LX 4-door sedan in Habanero Red   I know, you might be wondering why I didn’t buy a sportier 2-door editiion.  Well, truth be told, when you live in Hawai`i and come from a big Hawaiian family…buying a 2-door anything is just not going to work heheh.  There’s always people who need a ride, or crap that you need to shove in your car for the daily adventures.

Now for anyone who knows me, I’m not really known to be the tidiest person in the world…but when it comes to my car, I’m obsessive.  I have to wash her every week, shine the tires every couple of weeks, and wax her once a month.  And after a rain, which we’ve been having a lot of lately, I have to wipe her down with a detailer to get rid of the spots.  And I won’t even mention how pissed I get if a bird shits on my car.  I want this baby to shine for years!  Hell, I even scotchguarded the entire interior!   Then again, you can thank my best friend “D” for my obsessive nature.  As soon as she found out I bought car, she took me to the autoparts store and bought me a whole bunch of cleaning supplies and showed me how to do everything heheh.  Now all I need to do is get the license plates put on it, the reverse sensors, and then get the windoes tinted, and then I’m good to go!  It even has an iPod hookup so that I can listen to my tunes when I need to .

Anybody up for a drive?

Aloha gang!  Happy Labor Day!   It feels so great to have a holiday, doesn’t it?   Anyway, it’s another beautiful Monday here in Hawai`i and that only means one thing, it’s another great excuse to get out and have a great workout!  Unfortunately for me, I think I pulled a muscle in my lower back about a week ago doing something at work, so there’s probably going to be no gym time for me for another week or so while my muscles heal.  But anyway, that doesn’t mean that you guys can’t go out and have a great time without me!

This week’s batch of hot muscle comes from a mix of different guys, so there’s no real theme here, except for the great musculature that they possess.  Our first candidate obviously spends some time in the gym since he’s got the perfect chest and a nice set of abs going on there.  And for me, there’s nothing sexier than when you you can see a slim waist disappear under a pair of good-fitting jeans… it’s what I aspire to, and I’m sure you guys are the same way

Our next guy apparently has a very interesting taste in clothes, but hell..with that kind of body, he can wear whatever he wants and still look good, right?   Nice firm chest and that elusive “v” line that disappears into his briefs… damn him

Our next guy sure looks like he’s having a lot of fun!  And why shouldn’t he be?  He’s out with friends over the ocean in nothing but a pair of hot red surf shorts.  If I was him, I’d lean back just a little bit more and dive into the water. It’s hot out there today!  Personally, I think he just likes showing off his incredible abs

For some reason, our next hottie is a bit shy.  Who knows why, since he’s got a beautiful body, don’t you think?  A nice lean stomach, puffed up chest, and I’m sure if he flexed his arms, he’d probably have some pretty hefty biceps!  I dig the hat too, although I forget what the logo is for?

Now our last guy for the week happens to be my favorite… as soon as I saw him, I knew I had to post him right away .  I don’t know what his name is, but damn… it just doesn’t get any hotter than him!  I wonder if he’s single? Hehehe… Nah but from an objective standpoint, he’s got some incredible shoulders, a big firm chest, and abs that anyone would kill for.  I wouldn’t mind spending the day in the pool with him, let me tell you!

Anyway, have a great week guys!  I hope you strive to higher heights and achieve loftier goals .  This week’s tip from personal trainer Shawn Phillips is all about cravings and how to control them.  Check it out here if you’re interested.  See you next week with our next batch!
