Robmeister's Fitness Goal
JDog:
This whole thread gets me amped to get into training again.
My biggest vices are Beer and all manners of food. Thankfully my Better Half likes to cook healthy meals and keeps me check otherwise I'd be 300lbs. But in the past when I have gotten really serious about my fitness, I've been able to loose the weight easy enough.
Robmeister, I have lifted weights since I was 14(My Dad had his own weightroom in the rear of my Mothers hair salon,which was on our property) and I have always went the weight less reps over the less weight more reps route. I've never been the most cut of anyone but could always hold my own in strength and endurance. 3 years ago I was able to push up 250lbs twice which I was pretty happy with. I have sadly let myself go over the last 6 months or so. The result of sitting on my ass for 9 hours in a call centre but I get a lot of motivation for reading your posts on here.
Wish you all the best Bro in your continued progression!

Time for an update:
Here’s the deal to refresh the main impetus of this fitness thrust of mine.
June 4th we will be driving to So. Calif. to visit family & friends. Would like to lose 45 lbs by then (have lost 10 lbs and we’re ¼ of the way there, so I’m just a little behind). We’ll be staying at the Huntington Beach Hyatt (right on the beach). I’ll be teaching my son how to surf and getting’ on a board myself after many years. So there ya have it. For all those reasons I want to be a ripped stud when I strip down to my trunks.
All is well in all aspects of my program. Monday February 11, 2008 finds me a bit ahead on my running goals and just slightly behind on my resistance stuff. Also I’m just 2 lbs behind where I should be according to my progress chart. Have dropped another 2lbs for a total of 10 lbs in 38 days. That amounts to an average of 1.8 lbs per week (just shy of the 2 lbs per week I need to meet my goals).
Running, I’m up to 5.6 mph for 2.6 miles (from 4.8 mph for 2.0 miles).
Reps, I’m up to 30 – 15 – 7 (from 12 – 6 – 3) I’m starting to hit a wall so am pushing through some major BURN.
Onward and Upward !
r.b.
