Logan W, replied to Joshua Alvin Cuyler's discussion Intro in the group Men with Beards"Fellow 23-year-older here--also growing my first crop of facial hair! Also from a line of bearded men, so by age 30, we may both be sporting a beard of Darwinian grandeur :p "

Intro
Hello all,Just thought I'd take some time to introduce myself! The name is Josh (obviously). I'm almost 6 weeks into my first attempt at growing my beard out. It's pretty awesome, a friggin' difficult sometimes. Being only 23, I'm pretty happy with my beard growth as of yet. I expect by the time I'm in my 30's, I'll have a pretty burly beard to sport at my leisure.Anyways, I'll be posting some pics of my hair here soon. Might as well right?Thanks everyone!See More

For men with beards to show and share the great life of having a beard. Can there be anything more manly than a beard?
Carl Monster replied to Joshua Alvin Cuyler's discussion Favorite Lift! in the group Heavy"Your question made me join this group, though I would not consider myself a powerlifter (but that's pretty much what I do in the gym).
Favorite is a funny word to use, for Arthur Jones said that if you enjoyed doing an exercise then you were…"

There are three behavior patterns that are similar, but not necessarily related:
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), which is mental illness.
Rigidity, which is not…"
Ken D Books replied to Joshua Alvin Cuyler's discussion Bodybuilding and Depression"Take a break. Go on vacation. Splurge. Do something out of character. Don't exercise for a week. Eat a gallon if ice cream.
Seriously, discipline is great, but you are human, and noone is perfect. Sounds like you might be a perfectionist...some…"

Favorite Lift!
This is probably my favorite group on AoM, just because of its premise. I love it.So we've all got a favorite lift. There are so many out there, but really there's always one that really gets your juices flowing and ignites the flame of ambition.So what's your favorite lift? Why is it your favorite lift? And just for fun, what's the most weight you've ever pulled, pushed, moved, or what have you?I'll start with mine: the deadlift. In my opinion, it's THE lift for anyone looking to build mass of…See More

The Psychology & Physiology of Combat: Your Experience
Fellow warriors,Often, many of us are apt to train, read, and research to the ends of the earth. At least in my case, I can't help but constantly research and train for something that I believe to be inevitable (though statistically it is quite minute): combat. However, for all this training, reading, and researching, only the most experienced and hardened of us are truly prepared for combat. Even the veteran martial artist can freeze when a .45 is drawn and pointed at them. Even the hard…See More
Joshua Alvin Cuyler replied to Joshua Alvin Cuyler's discussion Bodybuilding and Depression"I want to thank everyone for their replies, I do appreciate the effort you've each put into your replies. Often, the way things work in my brain, laying my issues out on the table with no sugar or cherries on top gives me great insight into…"
