No, not wierd at all. We evolved from apes
and are amongst the natural climbers of
the animal world.
Its still there in our make up, almost a
primeaval thing.

No, I am not really into the over-muscular beefcake type but I wouldn't want a lardy-arsed slob either. If a man looks after himself, that's good enough for me.

Graham..... thanks for the tips, love, I do get lower back pain sometimes, I'll try it!! thumbs up kiss

cheers

Being ripped is an art all by itself. It has nothing to do with having big muscles or body building. Some people just don’t feel it’s necessary to carry too much fat around the heart area. Hey, I have to admit, it does make the heart work less.

As for the veins? Well, we all have them. Some show more that others. Oh, and another thing,










STOP BEING SO JEALOUS! OK?

Alison, Plenty sports physios' recommend it
for many people, but NOT FOR ALL.
I depends on the nature of the back pain.
Check first with a physio.

I try not too judge people too much on such superficial things.. however if a guy is too ripped I can't help but get the impression that he is a bit vain and there is little else going on... I prefer adverage... but I also love cuddly men... the only thing that I DON'T like is skinny men.. deep subconscious thing I guess like to feel protected hug smitten
