  1. Help out a fiction writer!

    Well, there's no roid-rage in my story. The character is kind of a "dumb jock with a heart of gold." Definitely a sympathetic character, but if you want to call it cliché or negative portrayal -- equating muscles/steroids with lack of intelligence -- fair enough. I suppose it is. I understand if...

  2. Help out a fiction writer!

    ^ What makes you think that?

  3. Help out a fiction writer!

    I don't imagine him being particularly tall or short... a superficial google search gives me 5'10" as an average for a white american man, which seems about right. Ok... that was straight up inspiring! You mind if I nick some of that for my story? Your picture of Wahlberg is also very nice...

  4. Help out a fiction writer!

    ^ Thank you so much, that makes a lot of sense to me. If you do find the time later to point me to some specific programs, it would be greatly appreciated!

  5. Help out a fiction writer!

    ^ yeah, that comes close. What kind of program do you think somebody like him could have?

  6. Help out a fiction writer!

    ^ I don't imagine him being lean and vascular. The picture of Stallone looks too much like a competitive bodybuilder. I imagine him more like a beefy jock. Like Charli, but you're right, perhaps with bigger arms. I sometimes see guys in public that don't look particularly "lean", but they...

  7. Help out a fiction writer!

    Overall, it's not really a story about training/steroids/gyms. So I can fudge the details. But in the scene I'm trying to write right now, I have to know a little more about the specifics of his training program. He enters the gym and starts doing his usual routine, and while he's training, some...

  8. Help out a fiction writer!

    muscleupcrohn: My character does take steroids. I just feel like it fits his character, the way I imagine him; it's difficult to explain why. As for his motivation... there is some vanity there, so one of his motivations is that he just wants to look good. His idols are more underwear models...

  9. Help out a fiction writer!

    ^ Thanks Whiskey, I've taken a look at those programs, and it's very helpful! I realise that everybody trains differently. But I'd like to see some possible programs, so my character stays somewhat realistic.

  10. Help out a fiction writer!

    Thanks for your answer! Can you specify the above a little bit? What kind of exercises could he be doing, and how many per session? How much weight can he realistically lift/press? The only physical activity I do personally is running, so I really just don't know so much about working out.

  11. Help out a fiction writer!

    Hey everybody! I'm a hobby writer, and I'm currently writing a short story about a character who works out a lot. I don't know much about this subject, so I was hoping you guys could help me out! The character in question is a man in his early-to-mid 20es. He works out every day and has been...
