Monday 4th October
I tested today, wasn't too impressed with the skinfolds, bodyfat or even anything that came after that ...
Skinfolds-104mm
Working out as a bodyfat of 20%-gonna ignore this number cos I don't like it

Bench press-42kg
Pull ups-0
Pushups 1min-28
Inverted row 1 min-9
TBDL-90kg

Overall wasn't impressed, happy enough with the bench though

Fitness Test
30sec x 6 with 30 sec rest in between
85m, 80m, 80m, 80m, 80m, 80m (...at least I'm consistent:))
Total=485m

Onwards and upwards:)

Did a bit of a conditioning workout with Henners after.
Conditioning block
Linear running-with a push off from the ground at either side.
Effort every 20sec for 10 mins
Was actually easier than the first time I did it...probably cause I knew that it does end...

Work Block
5 Goblet squats 16kg
5 DB row each side- 12.5kg
5 presses 7.5kg
15rounds in 15mins-happy with this!!

Kudos to Henners for the timekeeping and set countin...my head hurts with all the numbers.

Inspector Coptoor

the drifter

wait wait wait....there is no f@8cking way your 20% bf....if your 20% im a whale and L is so fat he sould have his own area code...

This is the only number you have to worry about...if it goes up you are fatter....down and you are leaner...simple as that.

This is the problem...anytime you have someone tell you their bodyfat...they are varying degrees of absolutely miles off...unless you've had a dexa scan or been to a facility hydrostatic weighing facility you are not even close. Every other 'method' of 'measuring' bodyfat is a pointless fantasy.

Bench press-42kg
Pull ups-0
Pushups 1min-28
Inverted row 1 min-9

That's why we test...if you aren't assessing you are guessing....you are testing again in 6 weeks...so we'll see where your numbers are then.

yup!

Yep have decided to go with this advice I am now on board the skinfold wagon..there is to be no more mention of bodyfat on this log:pac: In fact I'm erasing the word 'bodyfat' from my memory...in fairness tho..the thoughts of it actually made me step away from the chocolate cake today..

hmmm..not to sure if this is the philosophy behind testing days..are you sure your not trying to break morale and get a cheap thrill at others inadequacies:):pac:

Good...you'll find that works with everyone...accountability is a bitch. People can say what they like 'online'...they can lie to themselves and the world about their bodyfat and their numbers...but at Informed Performance every 6-8 weeks...the whole world is going to know the truth

People always say to me that I could I could fake bodyfats...which is true...but do you really think I'd want to make people feel better? I can't fake your pull ups...or your deadlift...and if I don't touch the bar on your bench...then it pretty much has to be you doing all the work

We'll see where you get to in 6 weeks.

..hmm..
1. I'm not entirely sure what I am doing..ever
2. I would probably crumble under pressure
3. I wouldn't even know how a competition works

I may actually take a spin out and have a look...curiosity and all that:)

1 - 3 squats, 3 presses, 3 deadlifts
2 - Pressure's for tyres. Eat nerves, sh!t results.
3 - Squat first, people pick the weight they wanna start on, lightest weight goes first, then everyone gets a shot at whatever weight they've chosen. You pick your next attempt and then go in the original order til everyone's got 3 attempts. Then do the same for presses and DLs. Obviously with breaks and warm ups between each.

There's your questions answered. Get signed up.
