Orogun01 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Accomplished one of my minor new year resolutions, that was quick. Or maybe the goal was set way too low. Which one? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Woldan Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Power cleaning and shoulder pressing my bodyweight of 97kg standing without support, or belts and without cheating with legs. I just put the weights on the barbell and did it without even warming up or thinking about it. I was stuck in the 92-93kg area for a looong time. I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.
ManifestedISO Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 How tall are you, 97kg seems low for the pics I've seen of your frame. All Stop. On Screen.
Woldan Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) The last couple of months I've been around 97-100kg, at 185cm. I'm a power lifter and not a bodybuilder but I still hate fat and as a fanatic cyclist I cannot afford carrying around too much useless weight.

I'm a power lifter and not a bodybuilder but I still hate fat and as a fanatic cyclist I cannot afford carrying around too much useless weight. I don't mean to sound... well, mean, but have you perchance crossreferenced with any other scales? I mean, you look massive in all your photos. Are your bones hollow? Or is it that you have your own gravitational field that is somehow interfering with the scales? ^^ Then again, I'm 193 and your weight.. 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

ManifestedISO Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Was it Good Friday today? It felt like it, even though I'm nowhere near a Hebrew. Both the girls at Target and Stater Bros. smiled at me ... I thought maybe there was pesto stuck in my teeth. All Stop. On Screen.

Raithe Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Well, we seem to have Flu circling through the family, the dog is getting anxious because mom's been in hospital for over a month now, and from the comments by some of the specialists it looks like she'll be staying in for a fair few more weeks. Having anxious dog spending the night running around to various rooms in an attempt for comfort to get settled, combined with the hourly coughing fits of the flu-infected does not inspire a great nights sleep.

I've met a few such IRL before, years ago, and I still want to call them by their online nickname. Thats not a problem for me, most people IRL call my by my family name, even friends. Its always been like that. So you might as well call me Woldan in real life. Well, we seem to have Flu circling through the family, the dog is getting anxious because mom's been in hospital for over a month now, and from the comments by some of the specialists it looks like she'll be staying in for a fair few more weeks. Ugh, is it flu time already? DEFCON 1! All hands on deck! Grab your gas masks, close the blast doors, man the heavy machineguns. LOCK AND LOAD YEEEEAAARGH! Kidding aside, hope your mom gets better. In my military service time I spent two weeks in the military hospital which was overcrowded with people who had the flu. It was absolutely terrible.

I have no cross references but my weight height ratio actually puts me on the border of the severely obese category, according to the BMI. Those BMI charts are pretty bogus for anyone with decent muscle mass. Trying to figure out your body fat would be more accurate. You look like you are in the 10% range. Most gyms can run the test with a decent amount of accuracy. I haven't done it since I was in my 20's.

You look like you are in the 10% range. Most gyms can run the test with a decent amount of accuracy. I haven't done it since I was in my 20's.I know, I just wanted to put it into perspective, if I weighed as much as I do right now without any lifting I'd be very obese, therefore my weight is pretty normal for me in my current state. I've never measured my body fat though, I know it can be done with some sort of caliper and charts but I care about strength. As long as I'm not fat I'm happy with body fat percentage.

ShadySands Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Signed up new mutt for obedience training at the same place that old mutt went to and they had had a line on the form under name of dog that said full name of dog. So now as far as they are concerned my dog's full name is now Ama Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra Van Peebles (of the Peoria Van Peebles not the Vail Van Peebles) Smith-Jones-Schmidt.

LadyCrimson Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 I played video games. Then I watched hubby play video games. Now hubby and I are going to play video games (together).
