Gah..I'm one pound from hitting 220 and 2lbs from being below it for the first time in quite awhile..Must..push..harder >.>

I just got to slightly under 170 in the last couple of days, down from 207. I'm only 5 pounds from my original goal of 165 which I should get to before we start touring in September. It's weird being this close and feeling this good when I felt so out of shape and overweight just in March.

Everyone trying to lose weight, I don't know what to say other than to just keep it up! Exercise makes you feel good and I don't think I've ever felt/looked better in my life and it's very rewarding. Though I worry a bit when I think about going on tour because I won't be able to keep up my routine. Plus, I'll be drinking a lot more beer, haha.

Ok, I finished the first week. Not bad so far, I'm still in the hardest column. Today I had to finish with a max of at least 15. I did 19. Then I almost collapsed.

Jonbo298 · 08-14-2008, 06:43 PM

Pushed hard and didn't starve myself like some people do (not referring to anyone on GT if it came across that way) and I finally hit 219 today. Now on to 209....

Im into week 4 now. Still going pretty strong, although its not a total cakewalk like it was in weeks 1 and 2...

Dyne · 08-19-2008, 05:23 AM

Yeah, I just finished week 4 and my exhaustion test came in at 51. I'm going to have a hell of a time in this final column again, but I know I might be able to do 100 pushups.

I don't look forward to 8 levels of it all, though, what the heck.

Angrist · 08-21-2008, 03:56 AM

Do you think this program would work for situps? I can already do about 40 successive of those, but I think my abs could use a boost.

My arms really look much better btw... of course I had already started using weights half a year ago.

Dyne · 08-21-2008, 05:07 AM

Yeah, I think Joeiss is using it for situps too.

You definitely notice a difference in your arms and everywhere else. It's almost a full upper-body workout. Sooo good.

I just did 8 freaking levels in week 5 day 2. That's just insane. That's what I get for doing 51 on my exhaustion test..

My arms actually hurt for once, but that might be because I also had a really good MMA workout tonight too.

Angrist · 08-21-2008, 06:09 AM

Ok, I'll do the situps too. I guess it's best to start in week 1?

Just finished day 3 of week 2. The last 5 extra pushups were hard, but I'm keeping up the extra 5.

Angrist · 08-23-2008, 06:39 PM

Did the test after week 2. I was afraid I wouldn't make it to column 3... I did 30 pushups, which is more than 25, so yay!

But seriously, I went from 20 to 30 in 2 weeks. How do they want me to go from 30 to 100 in 4 weeks???

yea, looking at this, the pacing is kinda strange...

that being said, I just did the exhaustion test after week 4, and managed 49.

I found Xantar on youtube:

That looked a lot like low-class gymnastics, haha.

Angrist · 08-25-2008, 02:31 PM

Week 3, day 1. First day I didn't meet my quotum.

Did the 25, 17, 17.... then couldn't get to 15 but had to stop at 12. Now they want me to finish with at least 25... impossible.

I'll finish the week as well as I can and I'll start this week over again.

I've started jogging a bit again...have run 1 mile 3 times per week for the past couple weeks. It's tough for us big guys but worth it...
