Rar! Up to 206 in my birthday suit - finally getting some power and speed back in my busted up leg... Clydesdale 7's here I come. Only draw back... can't button the collar on a bunch of shirt again.  

Yuu sure pack a lot of muscle into you! I would have thought 185 tops when I met you.

Really? I always saw Ian as a big, built dude. A giant. But maybe the couple times I saw him, he was still 200lbs+. Try fitting into a booth at a restaurant with him; even I was squished!

I know I did

Me too   

i still think 200 is small. I don't think I could get under 200 even with extreme dieting at this point. Its not that I'm "big-boned", but just shaped like a former football player (though I played rugby, a real man's sport).

i jsut want to get down to 200.

or at least lose the gut. if i'm over 200 after that happens due to being totally ripped then i'll accept it. 



speaking of being ripped. motivation to continue working out hard.
i noticed yest that i'm starting to get some seperation at the top of my bicept. i pointed it out and the g/f said "really? lemme see!"
i flexed and she oohed and ahhed and kept squeezing my arm.
hello ego boost. 

Knight,

One of the perks of working out hahaha!!!

Judo has me back and motivated to hit the gym.  I went in and did a total body workout, but I did a lot of balance style workouts like balancing on one leg while doing a chest press on the cable cross overs.  Trying to get a stronger core and some leg strength.  I super-set everything, as my usual style of GTFO of the gym and enjoy the college girls in their spring outfits! 

The college courtyard is like the wild...Guys flaunting and girls doing what they do  I must say.....

Don't you mean the high-school playground?  



Just kidding!

Anyway, it's really great to hear all of you guys working hard and staying motivated. We all have our own goals and challenges and I really like this thread because of how it seems to keep people active in posting about what's happening with them.

I'm taking today off completely from working out. I'm 2 days out from my next cycling race and I want to be fresh and strong for it! There's nothing worse than feeling sore on race day. I hit the gym pretty hard last night doing shoulders, back, chest, abs, abs, abs, and biceps. I feel good today and on track.

Keep up the good work everyone!

I agree

my freshman year of football I was 215 I wasn't cut but I wasn't fat either

we have been on a semi fitness kick, trying to eat right, working out when we have the time, hiking, doing yoga

its fun and I even took a fitness and nutrition class

according to a "clinician's standard test"

I should weigh 150lbs...I don't think so. I haven't been 150 since the 6th grade


Ideal Weight Calculation:


Results:
According to your height of 5' 8" your ideal healthy weight is 147 pounds. Your recommended weight range is between 131 and 164 pounds.

This was calculated using Hamwi formula, a simple formula commonly used by many clinicians.

These are recommended weights. Talk with your doctor about what weight is best for you and before undertaking any new diet or exercise programs.

You can learn more about BMI and see what it is for your current weight by checking out our Body Mass calculator.



I'm fairly sure that if I took the necessary steps, even with a doctors supervision, I would die trying to weigh 147

Well, a couple post back I was talking about how you know when your out gunned in Judo...well I was going against a guy half my size on ground technique....Long story short, I get him on his back and he either gets me on a triangle or an arm-bar...I'm so out of shape by the end of it, I was sucking air like my lungs where too small!  I could do practice this art everyday! 

A big factor in your size and weight is of course based on your body type: Endomorph, Mesomorph, and Ectomorph. What type are you?

I'm 5'8, 165 and an A-typical Mesomorph body (the following is quoted from online): The mesomorph has well-defined muscles and large bones. The torso tapers to a relatively narrow and low waist. The bones and muscles of the head are prominent. Features of the face are clearly defined, such as cheek bones and a square, heavy jaw. The face is long and broad, and is cubicle in shape. Arms and legs are developed and even the digits of the hand are muscled.

Other Traits of the Mesomorph

The skin of the mesomorph is thick and the mesomorph tans well. The hair is heavy in texture.

Famous Mesomorphs

Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, the majority of Mr. Universe winners.

I like to use Stallone in his prime as my roll model - around the time of Rocky IV and Rambo 3 when he was really lean and in great shape. I can't imagine weighing in at 200+ lbs. For me and my body type, that's just not possible unless I ate a diet of candy for the next 4 months!

What body type are you?

haha, it said you have a blockhead. 

Endomorph; I have to train hard to to keep the fat off, but I gain muscle mass easy.  A hybrid endo-mesomorph.  At the end of the session they had one of us lay on the ground and practiced our guard, 30 seconds for every Judoka....I was about to puke!

I'm a mesomorph. I build muscle quickly, but can gain fat just at quickly dependent on my diet and fitness regiment.
