I'm taking a health and fitness course (required credit) at my university over the summer. For the first time ever, I'm feeling really motivated. I've hit the gym almost daily, followed the instructor's advice to the letter, and after a week I can already see the differences. It's subtle, but my muscles are bigger, I have noticably less flab, and I have a whole lot more energy.

What has motivated me such?

I'm referring to my fitness goal as "getting in crimefighting shape."

Does that make me strange?

Not at all. Whatever motivates you.

Depends. Are you also planning to dress up in a spandex outfit inspired by some species of arachnid, insect or verminous mammal? Are you planning to try to get about town by swinging on a rope?

Is that Batman "crimefighting shape" or Blue Beetle "crimefighting shape"

Before he had his brains blown out that is.

More along the lines of Batman, but I don't have a natural Batman build. More like Deadshot, Hitman, or similar characters. My goal is 185 lbs (6'2") with a very high percentage of lean, fast-twitch muscle.

I dunno. Some folk here are pro crime ;) Not me. Hope you kick some ass.

You need to go to ninja school like in Batman Begins. Where your master will kick your ass after you climb a mountain and not sleep for days.

Make sure you pound your hand into a solid block of wood for a few hours too.

Just remember that spandex is very unflattering.

When do you start dodging bullets and racing trains and stuff like that?

Hopefully the day before they lock me up in the loonie bin.

And yeah, spandex sucks. I was thinking about a good old-fashioned leather with chainmail joints setup. Need some protection, but still want maximum mobility to take advantage of my natural flexibil...i...ty....

I believe I've said too much.
