The Great White Ninja
Alright so I finally got some information I needed to get for a long time. Jake and I have kinda made friends with a guy that works at Gold's Gym who is there almost every time we go, and as we were chatting it came up that Jake and I are focusing mostly on cardio now after having been doing weight lifting for like three months (which has gotten my bench up to 215 so far) (Had dipped back down to like 185 from not doing it forever) (I'm aware you could care less). So he had a great idea and went and got one of those fancy schmancy things you hold onto while it sends an electrical pulse through your body and tells you what your body composition is, mainly fat versus not fat. I am currently 269lbs with a body fat percentage of 32.6%. This means that my weight without any fat would be 181lbs and at a healthy body fat of 10-15% I should weigh 200-210lbs. It sucks proving you need to lose 70lbs but at least I shouldn't weigh 180 like I originally thought (which would mean losing 90lbs). So that's pretty cool.

See, you need to lose muscle so you can lose weight and be 180..
so Justin those machines aren't very accurate though. For one reason, if you are dehydrated when you take it it won't be true or if you are sick, or many other factors that factor into it. the only true way to tell your body fat % is by the water one where they submerge you in water and check the density and displacement, and other stuff.
So, you should post so I have something to read during school.. lol, because I saw that you posted a comment on myspace but I can't read that until I get home.. and you haven't posted in like a month, which is sad.
