    Default Club Polk's Official Weigh-in Thread

    I thought with all this talk about working out and healthy diets lately, why not have a thread for recording your body weight and goal of hitting it. Since about 90% or above of us are guys, we shouldn't be shy about stating our current weight.

    I use a digital scale at work to weigh myself, and always the same one. I recommend that you stick to one scale to get an accurate weight, as different ones could give slightly different results.

    I weighed in at 214lbs yesterday. My target weight is probably between 200-210lbs. I know I have to lose about 5 more lbs around my waist to chisel those abs... but extra muscle obviously weighs more so that is ok as well, since I've been hitting the gym extra hard lately...

    So I'll start:

    Current Weight: 214lbs
    Target Weight: ~ 205lbs
    Goal: Lose 5-7lbs in midsection of body; continue tone of upper and lower body

    I'm 5'10", weigh in at about 192. I'd like to get it down to 175-180, obviously with a higher muscle to fat ratio.

    I started up the morning work-out routine again this morning, so hopefully I can stick to it. My diet's actually not bad aside from the occasional slob-out days, so I think if I can just stick with my current diet and work out regularly the goal is attainable.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I couldn't put muscle mass on my type of frame if I tried. Just a naturally lanky person. Tone and lean is the best I can do.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Need to gain 14lbs by, oh, at least middle age. I'm sure it won't be hard :)

    I need to get back on my bike and do some serious riding. I need to rebuild the muscle mass in my legs, and figure out how I want to maintain what I built in my arms while I was working at the carpet mill. I've noticed it's already deteriorating :(

    You've got a ways to go.... But i'm sure if you put your mind (and a lot of chicken wings and beer) to it you can accomplish your goal.

    I was 180 lbs for about 15 years then at 30 yrs shot up to 200 lbs so fast my head was spinning. So, I have a rule with myself to stay 195-205 mainly because I'm too cheap to buy new cloths again :D

    Need lots of calories to put on size. When I use to bulk up, I'd consume at least 6K calories a day. Usually consisting off chicken, tuna, brown rice, sweet potatoes, vegatables, and a high calorie weight gainer potein mix of some sort(Cytosport muscle milk).

    For faster gains, add a little vitamin S.;)

    I forgot to say I'm right at 5'11"

    I take Whey protein as well. Lifting is a process that takes months to see great results, but different people build muscle differently. Some fast, some slow. I happen to be lucky enough to put on the beef quickly. But also the fat. When I slacked off for a year, about a year ago, I put on about 10 pounds of fat. Now THAT is hard to lose! Ha.
