yea i know exactly what you mean.
but man, 45 mins of lifting really isnt alot. 2 hours of lifting is alot. 45 mins is probably the pinacle of the amount of time you should be working out to consistently make gains and see improvement. and man, you should be careful what you attach 'i am' to. sometimes what you identify yourself as, has a way of coming back and claiming you, in other words, its not smart to say "i am a pussy". that also says alot about your character and how you feel about yourself, man.
and yea, girls do love nice abs ....  i try to do alot of crunches too

45 minutes is almost too much. In 45 minutes you will cover your split if you're doing it right, if you're not tired after 45 minutes you aren't lifting hard enough. I would say an intense, ball busting weight lifting session (what we all should be doing when we lift) should be ideally 35 minutes long, not including warm-up sets or cardio time.

Well thats how you get stronger isn't it? When you lift it tears up the muscle and rebuilds it stronger. If its painful then maybe theres something that is very wrong.

no tearin here either...burns like a bitch tho every fuckin time "never gets any easier" as an old man told me at the gym when he saw me strugglin for my last rep once
leg press is the worst for pain for me tho(and gets my heart pumpin more then any arm weights) could also be cause I'm doing around 17 reps of 320-340(first set)
my legs are much stronger then my arms(tho I'm building em up pretty good right now) because I rely on them to get around
I went from around 250 down to 175-180 now in under a year(mostly from the walking and just cutting back on how much I eat and changing my diet somewhat)
I don't deprive myself of anything tho I Just don't go overboard(for the most part)
I TRY to get into the gym everyday(alternate between cardio days and strength training days)

walrus. loosing that much weight is quite an accomplishment there man nice job 
yea i have the same situation as you tho. my legs are incredibly stronger than my arms, but then again i've uused my leg muscles substantially more than my arm muscles because the only real sports i've ever been into were basketball, track, and skateboarding. and all those predominately use the legs. i've been skating and hoopin alteranately basically my whole life so it figures

thx man
it really wasn't as hard as I would have thought
soon as I started walking everywhere and cutting back the weight just flew off
I still have a lil bit of a belly tho(tho apparently its not visible to most but I see it in the mirror of course) which is probably gonna be much harder to get rid of and theres the stretchmarks which are healing but so incredibly slowly(spectro gel is amazing...do they that shit in the US yet?)
and my skin is loose from losing the weight so fast but my trainer thinks that I'm young enough that it will retract...and to just focus on building up the muscle underneath in the meantime

A lot of people don't realize that the type of workout you're doing is going to determine the length of said workout.
Sometimes I do the Randy Couture program which is basically a 15-20 minute workout, non-stop lifts transitioning from one to another encompassing every major muscle group.
Other times you might want to do muscle isolation workouts, where you'd do several different motions with each muscle group, taking time to rest and effectively rep until exhaustion with each set. These workouts can take upwards of 2 hours if you do your entire body.
Totally different workouts, with totally different gains in mind. As for the muscle fiber tearing or whatever is it you think you're feeling, it's probably just the swelling of your muscles that you're interpreting as tearing, I doubt those small muscle tears are actually something people can pick up on unless it was a large tear all at once.

I have to trade off my MMA training with my lifting. My body isn't good enough at recovering yet to be able to do both at the same time. Either my muscles are too sore to fight or I'm too tired to get some really good lifting done.
So yeah sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
