Ryan
Age:19
Starting Lb:162
Starting Bodyfat% 7.5
Goal: I’m not sure. I think i could get to 200. Maybe my goal will be 15lb lbm gain? My first goal was 185 at 12%.
I need your help with this.
Late entry…And can i have till the 3rd week of december?
Ryan,
It’s up to you man. Pick and choose your own dates. Some people follow them, others aren’t. It’s a personal decision.
No andros here yet and Jared my weight is in the morning and evening post workout not pre work out . And as far as the body fat % sitting at about 11% as of this weekend but I gave up the shredded look cause i will never be there or want to get there I should say for now.
Post pee, post dump. Sorry, but you asked.
Al- I started buying all X-L shirts a while back, so I would not hav to buy new. Pant will be a problem however.
ko - you take a dump first thing in the morning? That happens to me more when I work out in the mornings.
I need to start weighing in the morning for consistency. It’ll probably be closer to what I’d weigh at a weigh-in, considering the time of day they usually take place.
250 last night. 246 this morning.
Jared NFS get your arse in here!
We need someone heavier than me for crying out loud.
Anti - one problem - I’d have to cut before gaining to be able to stay under the 15% limit.
I am a fat ass,
Jared
I don’t know about you guys, but I take like 3-4 shits a day. Post pee, post dump could be numerous times a day for me.
We’ve seen your pics jared, you aren’t above 15%.
And that is just a guideline to make sure some nutso doesn’t just fatten up in order to win a piece of JWright’s arse…
How about you join in and your goal is to catch up to goldie in weight?
So our weights are post dump? I thought poop counted as LBM.
yeah, um…my BF% is a little higher than 8-9%…;o) Took it last week and it was at 11% which I think is freakin ridiculous. It was a Tanita scale and I just don’t trust those things. I wish I had a camera to post a pic here so that you guys could see, cause I really don’t feel as if I am that high (not that 11% is horrible, but compared to 8-9% it is). Does anyone else have an opionion on the reliability of Tanita’s scales in general?
Tony one day I used one at a friends house and it read like 22% I about broke the thing, then I found out it has to be set up to you height and all that shit.
Tony
Tanita’s are good for measuring progress, not actual bf%. If you take your measurement under the same conditions every day, it will show you which way you are going, up or down. That’s about all they are good for.
And mine says I’m 22 or 21% all the time, but I know I’m not. It’s ridiculous.
im sorry guys im not going to be able to participate. im not going to officially start bulking until october. im kinda doing a maintenance thing for now. im already about 190, but with some fat gain. ill get back to you guys in october and see if anyone else wants to start with me.
boooooooo
Tony,
I got a tanita and a few months ago when I had my pics on the photo section; I tested it with my tanita and it said 11.5%. I think it is better for measuring changes though. Actually, the only thing I use it for now is for a scale.
I have a weight related question. I know I reported my weight at 160 but that is a little off. I haven’t weighed myself in a while. I actually weigh 156 right now. I had 2- 1 week vacations in a 4 week period and then I got a stomach virus 2 weeks ago. Seems like I lost a good bit of weight. I weighed myself today and was a little suprised. Oh well, I guess I just have to gain those 4 pounds back and the other 20 pounds to reach my goal.
My girlfriend’s mom just got a BF scale (by THINNER) and I seriously questioned its accuracy. At first, my weight was about 14 lbs. light.
After a while it got my weight about right, but I need to set myself on “athlete” to get an accurate BF reading. Even that, though, is a bit high, but it’s within two points.
I think I’ll use it through out the program, but at the end I’ll use the same caliper method I did for my initial stats.
Hope you’re all having fun, I’m not eating nearly enough, but I’m still up about 4 lbs.
P-Dog: I’ve wanted to get in on this but will not be able to start untill October also. I’m in for it.
