Well it seems to be popular these days... So I propose an Emptees shape up! If you are going to commit to actually getting in shape and losing some weight and/or gaining muscle... despite what plan you are doing, because we are all on different paths... even if all you are doing is running or cardio. ------------------------------- Post in here... what you need to keep track of is... - plan - height - weight - measurements (only post these if you want, i know its personal) - # of standard pushups - # of standard pullups - # of bicep curls (at a normal weight, not maxing out). - # of crunches also good to have. - resting heart rate - max heart rate (get this buy doing heavy cardio for at least 5 min). - how long can you wall squat (back up against a wall, hands at side, in a sitting position) - toe touch (sit on the ground with legs straight out in front of you, how close or how far past can you reach your toes + or - inches) ------------------------------- and then at the end of every month, post your progress, with new numbers, pics whatever you want. I highly recommend taking before pictures. 2009-07-29T18:12:13-04:00 34 2009-06-04T10:12:59-04:00 36441 false false 182 954 1 2009-11-08T07:52:21-05:00 962 - p90x - 5'9" - 175 - i forgot to take my measurments, doing it saturday. - 17 pushups - 4 pullups - 15 reps at 20 lbs - can't remember crunches, my core is my weakest. +3 on my toe touch. as in i can reach 3 inches past my toes. 36441 Post 2009-06-04T10:17:07-04:00 1050811 954 2009-06-04T10:24:10-04:00 - running a whole bunch, hiking and cliffjumping all summer - 5'11" - 198 - i'm a grower not a shower. - # no effing clue - # all i ever do - # is cardio - # my arms are small 36441 Post 2009-06-04T10:22:02-04:00 1050821 14 2009-06-04T10:22:02-04:00 - Lifting like a real man. - 6'1" - 185 - above feet below knees - 50 - 18 - 45 #'s each hand doing around 10 reps - a bazillion 36441 Post 2009-06-04T10:28:47-04:00 1050891 2186 2009-06-04T10:28:47-04:00 Looking to get back into lifting after injuring my shoulder last fall -Strength Training -5'11" -165 -30" waist (don't' have other measurements yet) -12 reps benchpress at 145lbs, 2-3 sets -12 reps barbell curls at 45 lbs, 2-3 sets -10 reps dumbell curls at 30 lbs, 2-3 sets -10 reps shoulder press at 85lbs, 1-2 sets -15 jackknifes, 1-2 sets -10 squats with 60lbs, 1-2 sets +1 on my toe touch 36441 Post 2009-06-04T10:39:17-04:00 1050971 6270 2009-06-04T10:39:17-04:00 - Muay Thai, running, recently started some lifting - 186cm (6'1") - 80kg (176) - bicep 31cm (12"), waist 80cm (31"), thigh 60cm (24"), chest 92cm (36") - around 65 pushups, never maxed out - around 100 crunshes, also never maxed out - 8 reps with 22lbs, 3 sets - resting hr 140/80 - max hr, gotta check - something like +6 on toe touch 36441 Post 2009-06-04T11:27:33-04:00 1051661 12580 2009-06-04T11:27:33-04:00 -Eating better and getting away from the computer more -5'9" -172 -not really sure my measurements -Ill update the rest soon, I dont feel like being active yet (maybe thats the problem) 36441 Post 2009-06-04T11:30:45-04:00 1051721 537 2009-06-04T11:30:45-04:00 There was one of these types of blogs on Threadless a few months ago... a bunch of us signed up and then it sort of pittered out after a month :-P It's very commendable of you guys to do this!
