I tried doing some updates from home, then came in and did the rest at work this week and between multiple copies I missed transferring your data. Sorry!! Your percentages are: 101%/145%/139%=128% I think I have everyone else, let me know if not!!
david_s81 Posts: 543 Joined: 2004/04/09	2004/06/07, 08:06 PM I am down to do the pullups. Is there any preference to chin/pull ups? I don't normally do the underhanded grip, but if that's what everyone else is gonna do, I'll have to conform. -------------- A broken clock is right twice a day

hecdarec Posts: 2,457 Joined: 2003/12/16	2004/06/08, 01:20 PM I am in on the chin ups. What are we doing, max set? -------------- Would it be classified as overly competitive if I refused to let a 4 year old beat me at chutes and ladders?
david_s81 Posts: 543 Joined: 2004/04/09	2004/06/08, 03:32 PM Perhaps we should do max set, beginning ummm...6/8?? I haven't been able to do much more than six at a time, but I'm looking to improve on that. Palms out, wide grip! I wish I could find a women to talk to me like that. :laugh: -------------- A broken clock is right twice a day

hecdarec Posts: 2,457 Joined: 2003/12/16	2004/06/09, 09:54 AM I think Andrew's numbers are fudged. -------------- I cry once a day.

Datdanigirl Posts: 452 Joined: 2004/02/11	2004/06/09, 03:03 PM Andrew, you and hec are benching almost exactly the same weight.. I see the makings of a side bet there, hmmmm. LOL you two are benching the equivalent of the barbell with me and the princess hanging onto each side. -------------- : ] ~Danielle The deepest rivers flow with the least sound.
bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/06/09, 03:32 PM yea that sux! no offense to hec at all but I'm quite a bit bigger than hec. lol I "should" be doing more for my size. -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn

david_s81 Posts: 543 Joined: 2004/04/09	2004/06/09, 06:09 PM what's the spread on that benching showdown?? -------------- A broken clock is right twice a day
Datdanigirl Posts: 452 Joined: 2004/02/11	2004/06/09, 06:35 PM Vegas is giving Andrew the edge right now because of his size, but underdogs have been heavy favorites lately, this could skew the spread. There's also an over/under of about 35 lbs... any takers on that?

david_s81 Posts: 543 Joined: 2004/04/09	2004/06/10, 12:50 AM Hec, it's not whether you win or lose, but whether or not you cover the spread. -------------- A broken clock is right twice a day
Datdanigirl Posts: 452 Joined: 2004/02/11	2004/06/10, 09:41 AM That's where the odds come from Andrew.. being in college and involved with a sports team I'm sure you have to stay away from bookies.. Some of us though are gamblers at heart!
david_s81 Posts: 543 Joined: 2004/04/09	2004/06/10, 02:00 PM right on, dani. It wouldn't be good to blow someones eligibility. With a 35lb. spread, I gotta go with Hec if their weight is about the same now. I think they both will have their respective gains, but 35lb is a safe spread. -------------- A broken clock is right twice a day
bigandrew Posts: 5,146 Joined: 2002/10/21	2004/06/10, 06:33 PM whats this over under 35lb thing? i'm completly lost lol -------------- .......adversity causes some to break, but others to break records! ......minds are not vessles to be filled, but fires to be enlightened ......Confucious once said ,DO NOT play leap frog with a unicorn

princesslodgey Posts: 1,748 Joined: 2004/02/21	2004/06/11, 05:51 AM Ok, I want $10 on Amy to win lift percentage and $10 on VedaK for weight loss and body fat I will come last as I am going on holiday mid July :(
Datdanigirl Posts: 452 Joined: 2004/02/11	2004/06/11, 11:16 AM Amy does have a great advantage, but I think I do too, since I haven't really lifted heavy before, and I'm also thinking mmaibohm has been awfully quiet lately.. did he move into the gym?? I'll take the lift percentage bet as long as she has to be the winner by greater than.. 3% ?? :) ..do you take PayPal?? I wouldn't dare bet against Veda .. she's like Smarty Jones at the Kentucky Derby!! -------------- : ] ~Danielle The deepest rivers flow with the least sound.

princesslodgey Posts: 1,748 Joined: 2004/02/21	2004/06/12, 01:07 PM I just worked out my new calculations 2 weeks down the line - my 1 rep maxes have gone from 52%/52%/105%=69% to 61%/66%/108%=78% - I dont care if I don't win - I think that increase is cool! bf only down 0.5% though - I think I may as well withdraw from that as I'm not trying to lose weight and VedaK is wiping the floor with the rest of us!
david_s81 Posts: 543 Joined: 2004/04/09	2004/06/12, 05:08 PM Congrats, princess. I feel kinda bad that you don't think you're going to win anymore. I'll stop picking on you. And for the record, thems was jokes... thems just jokes. I really think you're doing very well in the mutt challenge. -------------- A broken clock is right twice a day
