bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/10/25, 01:14 PM Its getting fall, and winter......and I for one have hard time being movtivated, I work out but I usually peak in summer time. So I was thinking maybe it time once again for another, freetrainers challange? I was thinking maybe a old school bench press, squat and deadlift contest.......with weight classes.......and have girls and guys seperate........and just go by poundage lifted for the weight class. Then we can have a overall winner using the ratio thing from last time? Anybody want to? or is it too close to holidays? Or should I just shut up? -------------- ....I'm probably in my underwear typing this......or maybe not!

Vedakathryn Posts: 1,585 Joined: 2004/05/28	2004/10/31, 08:33 AM I would certainly be interested, it would help with my adjustments to working full time, plus, now as it has thrown me off terribly, though I am back to my "Beef Jerky Diet" and exercising more, this would definately be a good idea for me, I did well with the last one and would like to see some more pounds shed as I haven't had any additional loss since. pssst...for those of you that got unnerved at my "beef jerky diet" statement and wanted to throw a 5lb weight at me - it is just what I call my making sure I always have a bag of beef jerky with me to prevent me from not eating as I have a habit of skipping meals. It has helped me tremendously. I take a bag in the car, have one at work, at home, etc. so when I am on the run, I have no excuses to grab a donut or a burger! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

Vedakathryn Posts: 1,585 Joined: 2004/05/28	2004/10/31, 08:37 AM Hey, I got another idea we could add to the contest...what if we added a category that was simply someone setting their goals to exercise daily and keeping to that? Since often times when first starting it takes a while to lose pounds, I think it may be beneficial to those beginning to have a category that is actually exercise oriented somehow - does that make sense or am I speaking before thinking again? It is just that for so many, just working out on a consistent basis can be a struggle and an accomplishment! -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL ***When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. ***The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.
