it's 'lewd' not 'lude'

'lude' sounds short for quallude.



second:

how old are you?

how long ago were you 145?

I'm 37

I haven't been 145 in 23 years.

[Vash]

Indeed - I was thinking of "lube" and figgered it was close to lewd - at least close enough to make a second reading entertaining.

I'm currently:

21

I was at 145lbs:

March of '03

I wasn't implying we get you to 145 - you still need the "bearish" persona, after all. I was thinking more along the lines of establishing personal weight loss goals and coupling them with improved chinning performance to achieve a satisfactory result.

Plus, internet challenges rarely progress beyond the grunt-n-scratch phase.

ok, for that reason alone we need to carry this out to the end.

bodyweight loss determined by %, and I have to say, to some degree factored by age...we'll let Ford or Toby maybe figure out that aspect if they want.

Plus, video now and later. I'll be fresh and recovered Saturday morning. I will attempt a total of 6 BW pull ups and video it.

I will weigh myself at the gym tomorrow on one of the Dr. type scales.

Final arbitration to be by a triumvirate (sp?) of Ford, Toby and Iron.

ok, going to bed now...must rest so I can beat this punk of a kid who weighed maybe a buck o' five when I last weighed 145.

[Vash]

Ah, I see.

however, i have no access to a video camera

i can, however, get a digital camera (maybe) so i can document my chinning training.

And do whatever it is you gotta do, old man, I'm not starting BW chins for three weeks.

After then, I'll rework my program to include high-rep training.

Oh, it's on, big bear, it's on.

[Vash]

Oh, btw, I was 2 years from conception last time you weighed 145

Lol @ this hijack!

I'm in. What about bodyfat % loss instead of weight loss? 'Cause as all good training forumites know muscle is heavier than fat. I could lose a tonne in short time if I stopped eating, upped HIIT sessions and stopped lifting. Continue lifting and loss is slower but I end up with more desirable body characteristics.

I'll look at my caliper charts tonight. There is provision for age in them Oso . I've also got info (from Ford) on multiple bodyfat measuring sites. You'd both need calipers and someone to help measure some of the sites.

[Oso]

naw, not really a hijack since the point of these blogs is motivation.

ok, I'll get some calipers. any immediate links to sources for some cheap ones?

the only time I've measured body fat % was when I went from 233 to 208. That occured in about 7 months time, btw. I started at about 22% but was still 18% at 208.

Oso,
you can borrow my BF% scale if you want.

also on Saturday lets actually measure with a tape, your starting distance from a dead hang to maximum lift. Photo documentation optional.

Good Luck boys!

[Oso]

deal.

never even got really winded, will definitely set the level higher monday.

I'll try to get a hold of some calipers for myself. Barring that, I can go to the overpriced gym that refuses to hire me and get a full body . . . whatever it is they do . . . done.

just make sure it's not a "wax".

[Vash]

Indeed.

I mean, I'm not afraid of the wax-straight-offa-the-candle kinda thing, so long as no hairs are uprooted.

Well, most of them, anyway.
