    Fixed it up for ya bro'.

    Just when you were starting to make progress, you regress again with your silly aggression.  Let's go through your rant shall we?

    No intimidation from Muay Thai guys just the aggressive vibe.

    This seems to be your own creation maybe from an inferiority complex.

    Lots of wanna be touch guys. Kinda like you.

    You are the biggest wannabe that always wanted to be, but never was.  Not sure what a "touch guy" is though???

    I do wonder about your intelligence a bit. I rate it lower each time.

    I have no doubts whatsoever about your (lack of) intelligence, but thanks for taking the time to make a rating.

    As for slamming barbels not sure where you have seen such a thing certainly not in a decent gym. The only times I slam a barbel is when I am unable to make a last rep and have no spotter

    Ok, now I know you do no really work out, but are just pretending and are a fake online gym persona . Barbell does not rhyme with garble (which is what you seem to be a master at). 

    A barbel is a fish if I am not mistaken,

    Look in the mirror and say dumbbell...say it again.  Now give me one more.  Okay, maybe that will help you to say and spell "barbell".

    Though I prefer to stay out of trouble no need to prove myself like those aggressive Muay Thai guys.

    Most trained fighters of all disciplines (and martial artists) are some of the nicest, least aggressive people around, outside of the ring.  Not sure why you feel so intimidated by them.  As part of your therapy, try walking up and saying hello rather than slamming barbells on the ground and screaming aggressively while posing for the mirror.

    If you have read this post the OP is already taking steroids = Testosterone injections twice a week as he was diagnosed with low testesterone years ago and was prescribed by a Dr.

    Steroids = testosterone???? False.  You sound suspiciously like the other fitness troll on here (LOL), right down to the posting of inaccurate and misleading information.

    Allow me to share a teaching moment with you, but you only get one, unlike the other poster who I gave up on after 2 attempts.

    https://www.webmd.com/men/qa/what-is-the-difference-between-testosterone-replacement-and-performanceenhancing-steroids

    It's true that anabolic steroids used by some bodybuilders and athletes contain testosterone or chemicals that act like testosterone.

    The difference is that doses used in testosterone replacement only achieve physiologic (natural) levels of hormone in the blood. The testosterone forms some athletes use illegally are in much higher doses, and often combined ("stacked") with other substances that boost the overall muscle-building (anabolic) effect

    Now I've had a successful hernia operation and, at 7 weeks after, back on the road to fitness. Fast walking and bodyweight cardio exercising helped me with flexibility and toning up my upper body. I still have a lot of lower loose skin to eradicate by my WFPB diet over the course of this year, though. 

     

    Note: the body replaces all skin cells every three months.

     

    Muscles have reacted well, I can feel them protest and now I've upped the ante by using very light 2 kilo weights to continue progress. I have no design or wish to become a bodybuilder, just a healthy fit person who could once again go swimming when the weather (and water) warms up. Back in the 1970's following achilles surgery, swimming was a great health benefit - and I achieved my target of swimming 1,000 miles over a five year period. Still have the badge on my trunks.   

     

    I think it's a truism that a human body's muscles can only attain a certain level when utilising a healthy diet. To go further than just consuming extra (and unnecessary) red meat and protein drinks - as bodybuilders know - an increase in muscle mass is only achieved by taking steroids. 

     

    So, on reflection, it seems to me that for older males, a far healthier regime is one of optimum nutrition and lean muscle tissue.  

    Have to agree with you on this.  I wish you well in your recovery!

    Your the one attacking others not me I just respond in kind. 

    Simply not true, you are the one thinking you have a monopoly on the truth and telling others they do not have a "clue".

    I get great results no need to change

    That is your subjective conclusion.  As noted, non-functional and imbalanced proportion neither looks good nor is healthy.

    All my other things were correct too.

    Sorry, hate to bust your bubble of delusion, but nobody is correct all the time.  You got one point right about consistency.  The rest is self-serving nonsense.

     

    To bring this discussion to a close, balanced total body and mind fitness is the goal, not padding your ego and papering over inadequacies with bigger biceps.  You come up short on pretty much all counts.

    Final teaching moment over.  Cannot help you anymore.

    Because that is what it is about in the end consistency.

    This seems to be about the first correct thing you have said. Consistency is indeed important.  Not sure for the need for all the personal attacks though.  Seems you are suffering from feelings of inadequacy and inferiority so wish to diminish others.  May explain the obsession with biceps.

    Never done Muay Tai, but certainly impressed by the fitness and physique, especially compared to yours.

    Western 200,000 expats in Thailand, that’s a mix of farang retirees and those working here

    Read no further after this.  Your entire hypothesis is invalidated by false assumptions and definitions.  Retirees are not expats, but rather, temporary non-taxpaying foreign residents. The vast majority of these contribute only through personal consumption, on a very restricted budget. At the same time, they actually benefit from local social infrastructure without contributing to it, and are therefore a net economic cost to society.  However, the positive economic impact of real working expats such a those on full expat packages, Japanese and other foreign investors is huge.

    Again you have absolutely no clue about building muscle. This has nothing to do with how something looks. To get at my level you need to put in a huge amount of work so people don't have to worry to become like that at all. 

     

    However if you want to add some muscle weights are the best way to do it. I don't workout to post selfies. I guess you missed the one of me being fat <deleted>. That is what weights did to me a total body transformation. Weights plus a good diet. 

     

    You have no clue about what is healthy, you have no clue about how to build muscle. What do you know actually ?

    LOL, clueless is as clueless does, to paraphrase Forrest Gump.

    Building up a bunch of non-utilisable and non-functional muscle mass while training like a grunting pack mule in front of a mirror is the biggest waste of time in the pursuit of complete and total fitness and health.  Will also result in an imbalanced gait like a top heavy penguin, not to mention a range of circulatory issues.  Willing to bet you could not run 10km, cycle 100 km, swim 5k, skip 1 hour with heavy rope, survive even a single  Muay Thai training session, or do any basic stretching or flexibility training.  

    Instead of donkey style fitness with a bunch of grunting and narcissistic egotistical mirror gazing like a Kardashian, do some aerobic/anerobic fitness and some flexibility training at home, and also train your mind.  You’ll thank me later.

    Teaching moment over!

     

    PS Anyone can go on wiki or google and get accurate information without suffering through your endless fitness proselytizing.

    It all depends on your goals, for real muscles a gym is still king.  Sure you can get some muscles doing stuff with resistance bands (newby gains) but it will soon max out. 

     

    I mean there is a reason why athletes and bodybuilders go to a gym. Its much better but these guys have other goals then the average Thaivisa poster.

     

    I prefer the gym as it works far better (for me) as anything else. But I have different goals too then the average Thaivisa poster. 

     

    Just find the right tools for the job, if a lil firmness and maybe some small muscles is goal then you can do a lot. If you want to get there faster and get bigger then a gym is much better. 

     

    (yes that is me with the sissie gloves)

    Does not look good and is probably not healthy either.  Total body fitness is the way to go rather than working out so you can post some selfies.  Do some research and get back to us.

    Thanks. Is there nowhere to rent in Phangan? Id be looking at going around the edges of the island.

     

    And obviously a complete layman's question but how do you know if the weather, is suitable and that its not going to suddenly switch?

    A very wise question.  The OP sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.  Being stranded in the open sea and getting hit by a rogue wave, marine life or even a wayward boat is all possible and could quickly "capsize" any plans no matter how great a swimmer he is.

    The problem Simon, to get more muscle you need progressive overload. This is a bit hard to do with just body weight exercises. 

     

    Things like pull ups would help, maybe push ups and some dips. But its really hard to do if you dont have some weights or something.

    Simply untrue unless you want a phony and temporary bulked up look to stare at in the mirror all day.  Lean muscle mass is much healthier and sustainable and can be achieved through body weight exercise and other aerobic/anaerobic fitness. No need for weights. Look at boxers or Muay Thai.  Now get down and give me a 100 push ups

    testosterone injections twice a week.  My mental state is great and I feel great!

    You may feel great temporarily, but if you need injections to feel this way, then your artificial health is not nearly as good as you think and is probably not sustainable.
