Coffee Lounge, UK--Just last month I reported the matrimonial intersection of two of my favorite chatters, JoanneK and JoanneFan. As with all weddings, it was an affair of promising love and eternal commitment. But what made this knot-tiein' so special was it was the joining of the consumate schmoo and his muscle-gal. Schmoos the world over live vicariously through the lucky JoanneFan and the dreams of muscle-lusters received just a bit more realistic potential with these nuptials. Was it too good to be true?...
JoanneK - logged on. --- (Sun Jul 18 4:35pm) Clepsydra - Hello, JoanneK, welcome to the Coffee Lounge. Clepsydra - Joanne flexes a bicep at Tex, and puts HardBodyPaul on her shoulder... * JoanneK is not interested in building muscle anymore.... Tex - JK...are you serious?... * Peter wonder why Joanne has lost the interrest in building muscles ?... JoanneK - Tex, yes, I am kind of serious. I don't find it interesting anymore.... Though this is probably territory more suited to Dr. Sigmund Biceps, I wonder why a woman who pursued muscle-building with a vengenace and reported on her progress to the chatroom for over a year (two years?) would suddenly find herself uninterested in her number one "hobby"? And right after she tied-the-knot with JK... Tex - OKJK...we still love ya!!!:-)... JoanneK - JF has become turned off to the muscle seen since I have pointed out that they are all fake.... JF turned off by muscle? The same guy that always asked good ol' Tex to show him pics of the most muscular biceps the humble Texan could find? Tell me it ain't so... Peter - All fake ? Violet - Who are all fake?... JoanneK - Most of the female body builders and fitness girls, Peter & Violet. Peter - in what way do you mean Joanne ? JoanneK - Peter, in order to get that ripped and low bodyfat and muscle, you have to do some kind of steroid.... Peter - I am not sure about that Joanne but I guess that is correct for some of them... JoanneK - Peter, is try for almost all of them. JoanneK - it is true Peter - I can4t say I know much about that but think some of them as all people have problems to loose weight Peter - and have to use pills to do it... Diana the Valkyrie - You sound very disillusioned, JK, what brought on the epiphany?... JoanneK - Diana, I am just sick & tired of lifting heavy weights with no noticeable changes.... JoanneK - The thought of lifting all that weight just disgusts me these days.... Disillusionment? Or matrimonial freedom? Diana the Valkyrie - I don't think they *all* take steroids, do they?... JoanneK - Most do, Diana. Probably 99% in the pro ranks do. herHUGEness - JK...I have been alternating two weeks of heavy lifting with two weeks of high reps (up to 35 on some sets)... with great results.... herHUGEness - Packing on a lot of muscle and avoiding the burnout... JoanneK - So, for two weeks you lift heavye (8-10 reps) and then go light? Confeos - And 99% of gerbils sneak out at night to disco. I can make a statistic for anything.... Diana the Valkyrie - 87.4% of statistics are entirely invented... JoanneK - I'm not inventing anything, Diana. Just being realistic in that these women cannot be role models for me anymore.... herHUGEness - Actually JK more like 3 to 6 on the heavy weeks with the heavier lifts... and no cardio....... Diana the Valkyrie - So who's your new role model? JoanneK - No cardio, Huge? What about getting lean and cut? JoanneK - Nobody, Diana. I guess, I am my own role model. Confeos - Okay, Joanne, where do you get this figure 99%? What scientific journal?... * herHUGEness is going to be a role model when (if?) she grows up!... JoanneK - Confeos, I'm not getting it from any journal. It is my own opinion based on what these women say in interviews. And based on the physique of a woman. You just can't get ripped and cut and that big without steroids. herHUGEness - it's a tough job JK...being one's own.... but it can be done... the cardio comes on the light weeks...lots of it, reduced calories, light weights and strip sets..... Blaster - I tend to agree with JK.... JoanneK - It's a miracle. At least one guy agrees with me.... Blaster - There are a few exception,but the upperbody mass has to be artificially induced. Confeos - You play the role of prophet very well, JK JoanneK - Confeos, women cannot get big muscle without steroids. If you think they can, I have some nice land in Kosovo that I'd like to sell ya. herHUGEness - I'd be happy to...got some good info i can send... look up SkipLaCour's website for one thing....HUGELY into natural bb and very motivational! * Tex thinks JK is correct if she is referring to competitive bodybuilders... herHUGEness - JK is misinformed and burned out... * Tex also thanks JF will always be a schmoo... JoanneK - Tex, I am referring to competitive bodybuilders. Peter - Joanne don4t sell it as they still kill people down ther the onle difference is that it is now the albanians that kill serbs herHUGEness - et tu, Blaster? Confeos - I never said that I agree or disagree. I have just seen this muscle-woman hate trend from you before Diana the Valkyrie - I'll buy the land, can I see the title deeds please? herHUGEness - Ah, well...I know what i have done so far... and what I am truly capable of... guess you'll just have to stay tuned... JoanneK - Con, if I hate these muscle women so bad, then why would I be here? Blaster - I said there are a few exceptions.....like you Hugeness. :0) * Peter doesn4t know how big muscles a female can build without pills ? Confeos - It seems to me that if you can reach it, then tear it down so that it can't reach you is a popular defense. Confeos - I cannot explain your motives. I am simply observing. JoanneK - Oh, you know what, Confeos, I can reach a great amount of muscle. I have the genetics. I just don't want to anymore. Why the change of heart? Is Joanne discouraged with the muscular plateau she's reached? I wonder... Diana the Valkyrie - I think JK is right JoanneK - I'd rather do cardio everyday for an hour than lift weights.... Peter - Joanne I think that it4s your choice to do whatever you want and I guess that4s the way it should be Diana the Valkyrie - I think, if she doesn't want to any more, why on earth should she do it? There's a limited number of hours each day, you shouldn't waste them doing something you don't like doing.... Peter - Joanne I think that it4s your choice to do whatever you want and I guess that4s the way it should be Diana the Valkyrie - I think, if she doesn't want to any more, why on earth should she do it? There's a limited number of hours each day, you shouldn't waste them doing something you don't like doing.... JoanneK - It's gotten to the point where I dread lifting those weights. herHUGEness - True Valkyrie wisdom, Diana!... herHUGEness - JK you definitely need to listen to your "little birdie" and take a break my friend. If you decide to get back at it later, you can with renewed vigor! In the meanwhile, go do something fun for a while ;o) herHUGEness - steroids are mimicing what the body does naturally, at least to a certain extent, Blaster. the alchemy does not necessarily need to be artificially enhanced...... JoanneK - Huge, I am afraid that if I stop altogether, I will lose the muscle I have.... herHUGEness - JK...you will loose some mass....I would still do a three day split 12 reps or so... but I promise... the muscle is HUGELR easier to rebuild than to put on in the first place... Clepsydra - Cheerio, JoanneK, come back soon. JoanneK - logged off. --- (Sun Jul 18 5:10pm)... herHUGEness - It can be HUGELY discouraging to work so hard and not see any changes... chances are a bit of time off and a new workout routine are all she needs...
Is JK's newfound disdain a result of burnout? Or is it a freedom she feels now that her hubby is legally obligated to her? Or is this reporter's divorce coloring his perception of JK's change of heart? Stay tuned to the chatroom and find out!
