Denver Does The Fit Test (and posts some other stuff)

So I'm a little late getting this up (Those who followed my last blog will know that I am notorious for late blog entries (NOT workouts!). I promise to try harder).

Dallas is right that neither one of us eats very well, but I am probably worse. I had the junk food diet. What's funny is that I was reading the opening paragraph of a book today, and the main character was a hockey player who had a Dr Pepper and Slim Jim meal at least once a day. As Dallas will tell you, that's pretty much me, even the hockey player part!

Since I've done this before, I know what to expect. I'll link to my original blog later, which talked about the results. Since I did this last January-March I have attempted to do it twice more. My first attempt was dedication to the core, didn't miss a day, the last two attemtps my motivation sagged. The diet was hard, but I improvised and cut back on the junk. I think you have to really do the diet full-on to get big results as Dallas said. I'll try to do my best with the diet, but I will treat myself once in a while. So I redid the fit test and took all my stats:

FIT TEST

Resting Heart Rate: 72 (I think you forgot that, Dallas!)
Pull Ups: 15 (I forgot they were the wide pull-ups, which I hate. Chin-Ups are golden for me!)
Vert Leap: 7? (I couldn't reach my measurement. I'll go back and get it. I guessed it was around 7, but I think I might have went higher)
Push-Ups: 36
Toe-Touch: +6 (Hey, I used to be a goalie!)
Wall Squats: 90 Seconds (I gave up way too easily!)
Bicep Curls: 15 Reps of 25 lbs (375 total? According to XtremeFit Tracker (more on that later)
In-and-Outs: 50 (This reminded me of the dreaded Ab-Ripper! So not looking forward to that again!)
Heart Rate Maximizer:168/133/122/111/108 (2 seconds later it said 96, so not sure how accurate that last one was?I doubt I dropped 8 seconds in 2 seconds.)

MEASUREMENTS

Height: 71" (Not in the measurements, but I figure it is important)
Weight: 182.6 (I was 185.2 two days ago and I ate like crap all weekend? Go figure?)
Body Fat: 18%
Chest:42"
L Arm: 13"
R Arm: 13"
Waist: 37"
Hips: 41"
L Thigh: 23"
R Thigh: 22 1/2"

According to Xtreme Fit tracker:
Body Mass Index: 25.8

My digital scale says some other stuff, but I'm not sure how accurate it is. Plus my body fat is down 4% since this mornings measurements, so I might try to get that data tomorrow.


GOALS

Get back to what I was in March (adjusted a bit)
Weight: 175 (Maybe more if I add muscle. I got down to 167 which was way too light)
Body Fat: 10%
Add Lean Muscle
6 Pack Abs! (Yeah, right!)
Have Bragging rights over Dallas!
