Thread: How much do you weigh, and are you ok with it?

Gave me a concussion, knocked me loopy for about a day, broke my nose, blackened both of my eyes, made me scared of the weights.
Not too scared to break my spotters nose as repayment though !!!

Must have been having a political discussion with the spotter at the time, LOL.

There is nothing more humbling than saying "Well, I used to bench 320 X 4, but now I can only do 225 X 1".
My squat numbers are suck too. From like 450 X 6 down to 300 X whoops my ass.

I started lifting again a few months ago and didn't realize that the slab I had set up on was sloped like 3" lower on one side.
I tweaked a shoulder and it hurt for like 2 months.
I can't get a decent spot.
I start where most people max so it's just a waste of time having their nuts that close to my face, because they can't catch the weight anyway.

ouch. Weightlifting is a dangerous activity in more ways than people realize. It is not conducive to long term training at all. I have heard so many testimonials about ripped rotator cuffs, knee surgery, back problems, hernias (myself). I think weight training should be limited to a 90 day regimen, then go on to another program. It's too harsh on the body. Look at boxers and MMA fighters, they have an amazing physique just from plyometrics and calisthenics. If you do push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, dips (or chair dips),and lunges( or squats with body weight), then jump rope for cardio and calves, you just worked all of your core and most of the major muscle groups. Three times a week, just rotate the exercises. That's all you need!! Never forget cardio though. Herschel Walker, the great running back, never lifted a weight in his life. Just push ups and sit ups everyday for training. And sprints for legs. He was huge too.

ahhhhhhh m-a-a-a-a-a-n, I HATE these threads!!!



OK, here goes....(deep breath)....

















5'7".........371 lbs.


I know!....I know!!!!

I joined Weight Watchers a month and a half ago....I've lost 18 lbs so far....down to 353.....my goal is to get to 200 in two years....hundred pounds the first year, and 70 the second....2 pounds a week.....





.....it's a goal....I GOTTA do SUMPTHIN"!!!


in high school, I wrestled at 145 (my fighting weight....after working out all week long, and spending the afternoon before weigh-in running laps in a plastic sweat suit to sweat off the last couple lbs)


-fat'n'happy (but talk to me in two years....A LEAN, MEAN, FIGHTIN' MACHINE!!!)

-whatever

Depending on my attitude, the weather, and the position of the moon, I'm around 5' 11" ---maybe 6' on a good day and around 200lbs. I'd like to be a healthy 190lbs --- use to lift weights --have some residual muscle from that -- but I can say I lucked out and inherited some pretty good genes . My father is around 70 years old and is still in pretty good shape even with a sedentary life style -- he doesn't take any prescription medicine and doesn't have any real medical problems -- pretty rare around here.

So here it is: (my forum profile)

Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 200 lbs
Hair: Long, Dark Brown
Foot size: 91/2
hand size: large
butt: ghetto
eyes: green
beard: medium-heavy
penis length: kickstand
personality: knucklehead

But oh-- yeah -- I could lose a few pounds and get in better shape

I just thought inquiring minds might want to know --and I couldn't resist the chance to be a dumbass ---it's one of my few weaknesses.
