Jkarinen, I think you are doing too much at once. You should start to change radically.

Me:

age:17
weight:8st3
Height:5ft8

When I wasn't playing Gaelic Football I was 8st8, 5ft7, I did one of those scans, it was 37%muscle, 4%fat. I forget the fluid amount. Now I'm back playing gaelic but weigh less . I can't have much fat left Infact visibly I have next to none but unfortunately my muscle is minumum aswell. Hey uve got to put up with these things to be fast. (Yes I know i'm fast so I must run) Sometimes its good, what muscles I have tend to stick out although so so my ribs I can't understand it, I go on here for hours at a time feasting on crap floods. For my main meals Its generally meat and two veg so to speak with the occasional frequent takeaway really can't understand it. You can't fatten a thorough bread

[Charge]

(Yes I know i'm fast so I must run)

100, 200 time?

[woad&fangs]

Okay, I'll play along but I'm not calling this a "New Year Resolution". Those rarely last.

Age: 16(17 in 2 weeks)
Height: 5'8''
Weight: 120 LBs

I'm auditioning for a play called "Our Town" in February with the performances in April. The character I'm auditioning for is supposed to be a very talent baseball player(specifically a pitcher). I'm not expecting to get much super athletic but I do know that being in shape has an effect on a persons personality so it will help me get in character. I actually used to be in pretty good shape but I've been working out and playing sports a lot less this year and now I'm very out of shape. 2 years ago I could do 49 pushups in a row, last year I could do 30, and 5 minutes ago I could do 20. I'm still fairly fast but I used to be one of the fastest people in my grade and I would like to regain a lot of my lost speed.

Mid-February goals:
35 pushups in a row
improved endurance
Visible improvement in physique(not much but enough to tell I'm getting healthier)

April Goals:
45 pushups
Continued Improvement in endurance
40 yard dash time of 5.1 or lower(that is what it was last April)
Slim/athletic appearance but I'm not expecting to be muscular
Begin to make serious effort at improving footwork and lateral movement(Dots and Shuttlerun exercises)

Mid-Summer goals:
55 pushups
Continue Improving endurance(my endurance is always going to suck)
40 yard dash time under 5 seconds
Dots time under 55 seconds
Good Shuttlerun time(I don't remember what a good time for this was)
Improve my Tennis game
Visible abs would be nice along with some biceps bigger than my wrists.
A nice tan

End of Summer goals:
65 pushups
Continue improving endurance
40 yard dash time of 4.8 or lower
Dots time under 50 seconds
Improve on Shuttlerun time
Beat my friend in a game of tennis(He's on the tennis team so it's a challenge)
Look good, nice tan, yadda yadda yadda


Edit: those end of summer goals look **** hard now that I read them. Lowering my 40 time by .3 seconds(probably more since I doubt I run 5.1 anymore), and tripleing my pushup total!!! What the **** was I thinking???? O well, if I just focus on my goals in order I might be pleasantly surprised at the end of this.

[Marshal Murat]

"Our Town" is a great play, I hope you get the part, but if you can't then you can always be a father.

[Veho Nex]

I FEEEEEL GOOOOOODDD. Knew that I would babe! Ow! I feel good... Like sugar and spice!


Sup guys, and as it says I feel good. woke up around 5:15 and I went for that walk. I got across town(about 2.5miles) before it started raining so I had to take the bus. Like always after I take a long walk I feel like my lungs are cleaner my nose is stuffed up and so I feel good well cya later now the true test and mettle begins

[mrdun]

100, 200 time?

Unfortunately all we have at my 6th form is a boggy swamp full of holes. If I manage to stay on my feet around 13.5s for 100 and I haven't a clue for 200 ages since I have done that. I'm better at long distance or quick bursts.

[woad&fangs]

Must be faster than mrdun!!! Que the Punk rock!!! I'll be training like a demon!!!

Good to hear your off to a good start JKarinen.

[Caeser The III]

good luck

[Shahed]

Welcome aboard guys! Keep on going !

I'm on target with everything, except socialising and I'm going to fix that right now.

You don't know my time then

[woad&fangs]

Bring it!!!
I will prevail!!!
Not now, though. I'm still desperately out of shape. I need to find out my time in the 100 so we can compare. You'll probably obliterate me right now but I need at least a month or two to regain my old form.

Now to continue training

[mrdun]

Nothing wrong with friendly competition but this is quite vicous lol. Season starts again soon i'll try to make life easier for myself then and do something with myself now. But for now... I hate exams, so much work to do for them!!

May I ask why?

[Husar]

May I ask why?

Uses up too much energy I guess.

[woad&fangs]

30 pushups in a row-Achieved
Increased endurance-Achieved*
Feel Healthier-Achieved*

*Okay, so not by much but It's purely subjective anyways



Hmmm, I achieved my February objectives a month early. I think I'm going to add an extra 5 pushups to each set of goals.

Good to know things are going well on your end Sinan.

Hey, Jkarinen, how are things going with you?

[Strike For The South]

Height 6 FT
Weight 231 lbs

Gain 50 lbs.

Bench Press 405
Squat 575
Deadlift 650



I'd be very very....very happy

[Csargo]

I'm doing pretty good so far. I've lost around 5-10 pounds in the last 2-3 weeks possible longer. I guess that's good.

[seireikhaan]

Because you could then be playing for the Cowboys?

[Strike For The South]

Because you could then be playing for the Cowboys?

Im uh kinda big into the whole powerlifting thing

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

I've started to eat healthier again, like I used to in pre-summer 2007, and bang, weight shoots down, muscle tone improves (I've always worked out to a certain extent, and archery builds muscle), and I feel better.

[Strike For The South]

Theres no such thing as muscle toning. Its all about your body fat and an muscle size.

[Papewaio]

Isn't tone effected by localised blood supply, general hydration and other factors other then just size and fat mass. For instance not everyone can get a six pack and this is dependent on tendons to a degree. While with muscles they will have a different 'tone' from stretching and yoga vs shortened muscle tone from unstretched muscle gain... compare the muscle tone of a weight lifter to a sprinter...
