To be good, we must do good; and by doing good we take a sure means of being good, as the use and exercise of the muscles increase their power.
If you based your knowledge of the human species exclusively on adverts, you'd think that the normal condition of humanity was to be a good-looking single person between 20 and 35, with excellent muscle-definition and/or an excellent figure, and a la...
Fearlessness is like a muscle. I know from my own life that the more I exercise it the more natural it becomes to not let my fears run me.
I don't like being away from theater that long. The muscles get atrophied if you don't exercise them.
Further study of central nervous action, however, finds central inhibition too extensive and ubiquitous to make it likely that it is confined solely to the taxis of antagonistic muscles.
That a strong stimulus to such an afferent nerve, exciting most or all of its fibres, should in regard to a given muscle develop inhibition and excitation concurrently is not surprising.
I like my body when it is with your body. It is so quite new a thing. Muscles better and nerves more.

The swimmer adrift on the open seas measures his strength, and strives with all his muscles to keep himself afloat. But what is he to do when there is no land on the horizon, and none beyond it?
I think men know to seduce women though words and conversation and nice gestures. That's much sexier than when a man uses muscle.
A lot of guys have muscles. A lot of strong men in this world. I think it's important to show that even under all this strength there's a fragile side, a side that can be affected.
The action movies changed radically when it became possible to Velcro your muscles on. It was the beginning of a new era. The visual took over. The special effects became more important than the single person. That was the beginning of the end.
The volume of your muscles doesn't make you a good husband. The way you treat her does.
I tend to build bulk and muscle easily, and running seems to make sure I stay kind of stringy, if that makes sense.
I could never focus on my upper body as a skater, so I'm enjoying having symmetrical upper and lower body muscle.
