Aside from that, I walk all over campus (which is pretty big and very hilly), eat well, and I'm slowly working my way back into the routine I used to have before the two major surgeries, which was to do 100 pushups of various types, 100 sit-ups, 50 deep lunges, various flexibility exercises, etc. I feel very out of shape these days.

Haha, that's rich.
I'm a fencer. It's not a very good sport to train for strength because it's so asymmetrical (I have one thigh that's strong but I'm not sure about the other one) but girls love it and that's what's important.

I feel I get the opposite effect with my martial arts, though. Guys feel threatened by me, or at least act like it. They get all stupid, like, "Psh, well, it must not be REAL martial arts..." or "I could still take you in a fight, I swear! Um, if I hit girls that is - we'll never get a chance to find out who would win a fight because I NEVER hit a girl no matter what! But it would totally be me." Guys can be such dicks.
Unless they're a serious martial artist themselves - those generally respect me as any other martial artist, because they've been disciplined to do so.

That'd be me, right in the middle. I don't usually hit girls. Or guys, for that matter. I don't like sparring as much as I used to, because I study martial arts from the perspective of a way to cause people serious pain. You can't really practice choking people the same as gently punching them in the chest. Bit of a story there, but anyway.
It hasn't done anything for my physique; I've got serious trouble maintaining my weight at a decent level, and I don't seem to get muscle in the usual sense. After years of practicing martial arts and months of trying to eat more, taking vitamins, and drinking those little nutrional milkshakes, I still struggle with keeping above 135 lbs. When you're 6'4", that's a bad thing.

Give me a PM if you want a few tips in putting on weight. Unless you genetics are truly, truly freakish, you'll be able to. I never thought I could, but after really looking into it and doing my research and work, I've gained around 24lb over the past six months. So it can be done, have hope!

Note to self:
Do not fuck with CJ Marren.
I worked out for about two weeks in the summer and then quit. I just walk a lot, since I don't drive, and try to eat decently.
