Robot Lords of Tokyo, SMILE TASTE KITTENS!

Eileen is correct. I have one of those handheld ones. Its not that they are inaccurate so much as that they are effected by many small changes in your body. Glass of water, going to the gym and sweating, taking a shower etc... So having alot of data points helps. Try to use it at the same time, multiple times a day and average the data. Keep track of the data every day.
 
Is your scale telling you body fat percentage, or body mass index? If its BMI, just dont pay attention.
 
i concur with utah. BMI's are a joke. back in the days when i was in the gym six days a week and was a wide as i was tall (5'9ish, 250lbs), my BMI said i was morbidly obese...but my body fat was in the low teens.
 
Forgot to update, stupid winter.
Lets see,
Wednesday took my belay class at the rock gym and climbed a few hours before. Did well.
Thursday went back for my belay checkup, tried to climb, did like 5 things and my bicepts hurt so bad I couldn't' tie my shoes.
Yesterday went and saw the pretty things peep show at Asbury Lanes, freakin awesome.

Getting some grub and I'm going to hit up the rock gym again today.
 
Yesterday after the morning ride was the rock gym. Finished my top rope belay certificaiton. I no longer need to pester Aaron and Eileen to be my personal belay, now I can share 🙂

Also completed two bouldering problems I've been trying for quite a while. Real happy about that. Also climbed the wall a whole bunch of times so that felt good too.

Today was a morning ride at Lewis Morris.
Okay so I admit here that the snow is too deep to ride in. Took us about an hour to get 2 miles in. Really hard.
But I have pics and video so that's awesome 🙂
I got a gps track of the new green reroute but I think the resolution of it is crap so it might now work for what I want. Crap.

Videos were great, snow pile is classic it's like stupid human tricks. I went down no less then 5 times myself yesterday...
 
haha we make fun of Tim's accent hourly 😀

Today was more rock gym with Tim. I'm improving. I killed my arms pretty quick and strained some oddball muscle in my leg, dead center but really up high like at my waisteline. Some weird muscle I'm sure I've never used before.

Oh, and there were some massively hot girls as the gym tonight 😀

which gym are you hitting? are you bouldering or doing routes?
 
The NJ rock gym in Fairfield. Doing a bit of both. Yesterday I killed myself on a nice all power 5.7
I suck, but it's fun!

I also found out the hard way that my wife is e-stalking me via this thread. ugh
 
nice - that's great gym, they have good route setters.

there's nothing wrong with 5.7. if you head outside (especially at the gunks) 5.7 is a respectable number, especially on a sport route, or even better, a lead.

remember bouldering starts at around 5.9-ish kinda, so if you're pulling a V1, you've got the ability to pull a move on a 5.9/5.10 as long as you get your endurance up to get to and through the crux.

a great way to warm up and warm down and build some good endurance is find a G0 (5.4 to 5.6) and do laps on it. don't just climb up, make sure you down climb it. routes with big open handed holds are a great way to start. at the end of the night, when you think you're totally pumped and your forearms can't get any more taught, hit that easy route and do laps (up and down without stopping) until total failure. you'll pull through some grades quicker. its also a good way to practice techniques like smearing, flagging, and general body position since you won't blow off the bomber holds.



e-stalking? nothin' wrong with that. just think of it as her way of seeing what you're interested in.

hey man, i was there too

and yes, those girls were like woah...i got to impress them by cleaning a v.3...they cheered lol
 
I'm working on doing more laps on the wall. Usually when I'm tied in I'll try a 5.7, and then when I'm done I'll do whatever easier ones are available on that rope.

Sorry I forgot you Aaron 😀
 
Did you not know the Royal hunting grounds are always forbidden?

Okay, time for a training thread of my own. I don't train actually, I'm fat. I need to lose like 10-20lbs to not be fat but I really have no desire to be biker skinny 🙂

" The Paleo Diet for athletes".......I'm reading it now. Read it and try it.

Don't need to be a bike weenie or a superathlete for this.

I've seen Clutch countless times.....great band.

hey luke, i know you're in motown a lot, there's a rock gym right in randolph off of route 10 in the industrial park across from salerno-dwayne GMC. i'd love to get into it but 1) i have approximately no free time left in my budget and 2) i'm pretty sure that my shoulder would not approve.
