Nice man , get back in the gym though !

This, keep the ball rolling, hard to start again but hard to stop once it's in motion. I have a hard time taking rest days, make plans so I have to, cus need dem rests for dem gainz

Right on man! Worth it I am sure. That is great progress!

You be be feeling amazing I am sure!


Funny this thread got bumped just as I came back from a jog. I am doing 5k in 35 minutes now. Not the best, but it has some uphill sections. Far cry for ~ 50 minutes + feeling like death after I completed the jog.

I started this when I weighed 205 pounds on my home scale, now I am down to 183 pounds. I need to weight myself at the gym though, I know I was 212 when I started, so I imagine now I am a bit over 190.

Glad to see lots of folks on the forum are sticking to their fitness goals.

out of curiosity. What is the bodyfat % of a pro athlete. In particular your well conditioned hockey player.

Man the world is so cruel... Havent been to the gym in like 2 weeks due to may long weekend + company meetings so planned to start back up on Monday... Monday at work I was lifting something like 3 lbs and somehow hurt my back, so now I'm on the IR for another 3-5 days. It was redic, like I've played hockey, lacrosse, done all types of stupid physical activities and deadlifted over 300lbs but somehow just turning funny with a 3lb package threw my back out...

Anyways, qq over, was anxious to get back and it sucks I gotta wait ...

Glad to see everyone here with such awesome progress, keep it up boys

man I did something similar before when I used to work at a grocery store. I picked a box of grocery bags ~ 5 pounds and twisted to one side to much and my upper back went to shit for weeks. I still get the odd twinge in it sometimes. Humans are so fragile it is kind of pathetic in a way.

Depends , from last time I saw getzlaf he was over 15% for sure , however kesler was probably 10-12

Most athletes are between 12-18. 7-12 is pretty lean and almost unhealthy.

Oh ok. So you are going for pro athlete fitness level. Good luck man!

you understand the science behind it, so I think you will make it their in time.

This, that low is for bodybuilder shows. Those guys on stage at shows are at their weakest at such low %s, would just be detrimental to performance for athletes to aim for those.
