College graduate a few months out, have stopped running entirely, now focus entirely on bodybuilding... I love it!

Seems like this post fits better in the "Dear Facebook" category

Oh yeah, by the way, kill yourself, no one gives a fvck about your new found interest in lifting.

MORON

You're making a step into the right direction. You're trying to get BUFF AND SHREDDED

But you should not lose focus of FUNCTIONAL FITNESS. What this means is: do CrossFit style sprint repeats, box jumps, overhead squats, etc.

Report back when you look good and have actual fitness, not just "show muscles".

It's time to bring your posting game up.

Exact same thing happened to me. I agree. It feels great. I was sick of being the skinny little runner.

I just recently gradated from a lower tier division I university. In college I played the whole part of skinny runner, I would watch my diet and even run upwards of 90-100 miles a week by senior year.

I never could scratch much below 15 minutes in the 5k. Made all conference by a nose in 10K cross. After trying to run haphazardly for awhile after college I have stopped completely, and fallen into lifting heavy.

I have to be honest, the PR's in the weight room, the new found attraction from the opposite sex, and the ability to eat a whole lot more than I was in college are major bonuses! Does anyone else feel the same way?

no

Climbing is way more "functional fitness" than duushfit, I'm as ripped as Pitt in Fight Club and can still roll a sub-18 5k.

i was going to say climbing, then I saw the previous post. Started rock climbing after college, and gradually got into it more. In my opinion the best sport for becoming strong (relative to body weight) and if you are a distance runner and figure out technique, balance etc, you can definitely suceed. I am so much stronger now after climbing three years. Lean and mean, dude..

Ok, I admit I can't do any max weight stuff like the guys in the gym but frankly I don't care about that either. But one armed pull ups . I want to see cross fit kids do a clean one armed pull up (although this is trainable like everything).

at 140 pounds I do 3x8 pull ups with 35pounds extra weight. That's cool enough for me, I don't need to squat 200 or whatever pounds in the gym

Start climbing my friend, climbers are so much more fun and down to earth thenn x-fitters

I don't believe for a second that you can eat as much as you want now, but had to watch what you ate when running 90 to 100 miles per week.

Unless of course, you're actually growing rapidly fat right now, or will as soon as you get through the early adaptation phase of lifting in a about a month.
