Use this thread to post your stats and find a partner or a group for your challenge!! Good luck!

Age: 20
Height: 5'9
Weight: 160

Looking for a partner with similar stats. Anybody want a challenge?

Will probably cut another 10-15 lbs, then start bulking.

Good idea, gonna sticky this...

Looking for someone to partner with from 10% down to 8% bf.....

5' 9" 142 lbs.

This sounds like great motivation:

Age: 36
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 184 lbs.
BF%: 20%?

Looking for a training partner.

My Stats:

Male
35 years old
177.5 lbs
5'11''
Body Fat: about 13%

Type of training I do: Mostly endurance running and triathlon. Right now I'm training to run the Pikes Peak Ascent: http://www.pikespeakmarathon.org/. I just ran the Garden of the Gods 10 miler this past weekend. My time was 1 hour 32 minutes so about a 9 minute mile pace. I'll be running a few other races this summer but the ultimate goal is to run the Pikes Peak Ascent in 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Running: 4 days a week - about 20 miles total each week.
Weight Training: I have some tendonitis in my shoulder so all lifting is put on hold for right now.
Martial Arts: I attend a kung fu class twice a week.
Swimming: About once or twice a week. This needs to become more regular.
Cycling: Very little at this point.

Goals:
1. Get my weight down to 170 with 9% body fat.
2. Run the Pikes Peak Ascent in 3:30.
3. Increase my swim and bike training enough to compete and finish in an Olympic distance triathlon. Preferably the Boulder Peak Triathlon: http://www.boulderpeak.com/
4. Get back to weight training 3 times a week.

Anyone out there have the same kind of goals?

Male

190 lbs

Body Fat: around 20%

Male
Age 30
5'6"
146-lbs. @ wakeup
BF = 14+%

Shooting for 10% for now. Check maintainability @10%. Possibly proceed below, depending on lean mass retained...

I have brown hair, brown eyes, Sagittarius, I love cars, 80's metal... :D

Age 20, almost 21
195lbs
6'3"

guessing aorund 16% BF%

ive been this weight for about 2 months now, maybe a little more or a little less. Initially began at ~230lbs and probably 25% BF% so i've made huge gains but my diet is preventing me from trimming down the rest of the body fat. I'll try to get some pics up here soon, but is anyone interested in an 8 week, really really strict diet/exercise plan? The diet is my huge problem but im much too lazy to figure out absolutely everything i eat and make a good plan. I need the motivation! If someone is interested iny making a diet plan with me, i'd probably be more interested in perfecting it;)
As it is, im going to the gym about 5 days a week. let me know!

Maybe all 4 of us could get in on this. It would be a "Battle of the Titans" :eek: :eek: :lol:

My stats:

Age: 23
Wt:~240
Ht: 5'11
BF:Not sure but prob around 22-24 %

42, 5'8" 162lb (down from ~200 a year ago), last BF measurement with calipers was 14% which I think is way too optimistic from the looks of things. not so interested in a competition so much as "virtual" gym buds.

what might be kinda cool is a forum for such a thing, or maybe merge it with this new one. each little group could start a thread for its members or something like that.

well the good news is that i did a REALLY quick 3 point calliper test today at the gym (first time i've ever done that) and he said i was at a whopping 14% bf!!! so exciting! i swear ill have pictures up soon

but in any case, doesnt look like theres a partner for me. anyone around the same bf% at least and want to do a drop together? looks like i wont be able to find someone with similar stats, so ill take what i can get :tu:

i could use a partner. doesnt even have to be a challenge just someone to team with that has similar goals to keep eachother honest.

Aiming to bulk up over the summer!

If anyone is interested, post a reply, or send me a private messege!!

Finished my last cut 2 weeks ago. I have been on a maintainence (repair metabolism) diet the past 2 weeks. Time to get going on the next phase to get to my end goal.

Looking for a challanger!

Current stats: 5'8

211.0 lbs
23.% about
160 LBM about
Goal for end of challange 12 weeks
189

160 LBM or more

I haven't seen any women wanting to challenge - is this a male only thing? :confused:

Age 24
Weight 198 lbs
BF % 18
Height 68 inches

I will have photos soon but would like to have a challenge for 14% possibly 13. Ive lost 50 lbs in the past yr and a half and need to tone it up. PM me if youre up for it!

:gl: :db: :bb:

I'm interested to see if anyone wants to work as a partner. It could be a competitive thing or more just a support thing. I'm open to ideas.

Here are some stats:
24 year old male
6' tall
167 lb
11.2% bf according to my tanita scale (that seems a little low)
Goals: I want to feel light and essential. I'd also like to get some visible abs. So my first goal is to lower my bodyfat to 7%. I'm planning to cut down with fairly strict dieting and then settle into a diet based on whole foods once I reach the mythical 7%.

current physical activity
lifting 3x per week.
swiss ball exercise 2-3x per week
light cardio 1-2x per week
occasional skateboarding / bicycling

sample schedule
sun - back/biceps/rotator cuff
mon - rest
tues - swiss ball video
wed - chest/shoulders/triceps/rotator cuff
thurs - swiss ball video
friday - legs
sat - light cardio

One of my main goals is to improve my posture and body mechanics. So I'll be doing a swiss ball video a few times a week and maybe some work on a balance board.

Here's a photo to get a sense of where I'm at now.

I could use a partner also. I'm a 24 years old male, 6'1", 239 pounds. Haven't gotten my BF measured yet.

My long-term goal is something in the 170-180 range by 6/25/2005 (wedding day).

I haven't seen any women wanting to challenge - is this a male only thing? :confused:
Hope not :flex:

Male
19 years old
190 lbs
5'10''
Body Fat: around 20%

Exellent!, I´ll challange you if you´re still up for it :)

We seem to have quite similar stats,

19 years old
175 lbs (used to be 227)
5´8" (i think??) 178 cm
BF= I believe I shuld be somewhere around 20 aswell

My goals are basically to lower my BF to get a ripped look, not necessairily any bigger, but I am willing to work hard to gain lean mass in the areas where I lack. It´ll all be more viseable after the fat is shredded off.

I'm 210 6' 4" I'm looking to get up to 230 and 12% bf. Anyone in a similar situation wants a challenge?

I wouldnt mind some friendly competition ;)

16 Years Old
6'3"
172 lbs

Looking to really cut down to around 8% then start a nice clean bulk. I have been lifting/cutting for a couple months now, and have come a long way since i started. I used to be around 200lbs little chub chub. Still cutting though. I have found a really good lifting program though that seriously helps me a lot. I have seen so many great gains. So, if anyone is interested, give me a pm, or post here. I would really like to get started soon, because this could be just the motivation that I need to start training again.

I also noticed there are no women looking for a challenge. I'm not interested in a challenge because I am content with my appearance. Are most of the women on this board in pretty good shape?I haven't seen any women wanting to challenge - is this a male only thing? :confused:

Okay, I'm putting my journal in my sig, so you can see the whole story. I'm willing to pair up with someone in a similar boat (though the two of us in the same boat would likely sink it).

34 male
6-foot-2, appr. 340 lbs.
BF%??? (quite a lot, since I'm pretty obese)
Waist--around 50

My goal is to achieve overall fitness; I haven't put any numbers on it, since I'm just starting and not very well-versed in the nomenclature. I also need to lose weight so my blood pressure will go down and my doctor can finally take me off of the BP medication (I've been on it for about three years).

I probably need to get back to about a size 42 waist, and weigh in the neighborhood of 180-200 pounds (Maybe more--I've never been at an "ideal" weight, so I'm not sure what it's supposed to be). My plan consists of walking, weights, and a revolutionary change to a proper diet. I wouldn't mind getting "ripped" or whatever eventually, but for the time being, I'll settle for not being a big tub of goo. I'm on day two (6/30/04). Any takers?

I'm interested in finding a partner (male or female).

Age: 23
Weight: 179
BF %: (Approx) 22% (if I measured it right :whistle: )
Height: 5'10"

I'm interested in losing about 10 more pounds and 6% BF. I've had a lot of trouble losing these last few pounds. Maybe this will help? :)

Im game!
Age: 19
Weight: 135
BF: I dont think Im ever gonna be able to work those things!
Height: 5'11

Im not interested in losing more than 5 pounds. I'd love for my muscles to show! What I want to get out of this is to be very serious about working out and eating right, and to have somebody to share that with. And at the same time lower my BF % (not necceseraly weight - except those almost 5 pounds).
...If you are interested?

Hi, I have begun my fitness program after months of horrid eating, and I'd like to find a partner as well.

My current stats are

5'9" and 218.0 lbs.

I'd like to partner someone who has quite a bit of weight to lose like I do.

Well, after being encouraged by AWD_ENVY to come here, here I am.

============================================
My Stats:
Age: 27
Height 5'-7"
Weight 238 lbs (was 253)
BF% ?? (More than I should have, probably 25% or more)
============================================

I'm looking to get back to the days of when I was a wrestler in HS. I would like to be in the 160-180llb range. I've got a stocky build, and I never really have been considered "skinny" or whatever. Just trying to reverse 27 years of being the fat kid :eat: (lol). As soon as I can get a pic, I'll post it here.

Looking for similar stats to get going. :tu:

I'm looking for someone to keep me on my toes, and keep me motivated. Here's where I'm at now as of Sept 25th. picture (http://webpages.charter.net/enderle/workout/frontsept23.jpg)

I'm 27 (practially), 6'2" and 220 lbs. Current goal is to get my 6 pack :) Send me a pm if you want to do a challenge!

I'm in for a challenge with you, or anybody else that's up for it!

Stats:

Height: 5'8
Age: 28
Weight: 144 (as of today, currently trying to bulk)
Bodyfat: ~ 9.5-10%
Goal: 155, ~ 9-10%, but more importantly, 3 miles in a row in 18 minutes or under!

Anybody up for a challenge? I'm bulking right now, and will probably continue to bulk until the end October, then start my cutting phase which will probably last until the end of December.

I'm down for the ultimate cutting challenge. It will end when the six pack is clear or under 10 percent bf.

I am currently at 178 and 17 percent bf.
I am 6 feet tall.. waist 33., 21 years old. If anyone is interested please let me know or send me a private message.

Okay folks... Here's the story. I'm 32, roughly 260 lbs (again, after dropping down to 229 at one point), and looking for a challenge I can shoot for.. Anybody interested, feel free to fire off an email my way. I'll post more "official" stats later when I get home from work. I'm tired of being as big as I am - my 44's are getting way too tight again.

James :)

Looking for somebody who is ready to give it all and stay focused :db: during our cutting phase (12 weeks till New Year´s)
Plan is to eat clean, lift 3x and do cardio 5x a week.

My goal is to go from 99kg / 218lbs to 88 kg / 193.78 lbs in 12 weeks. This means loosing aroung 1 kg / 2 lbs of fat per week - pretty conservative but healthy!!! :tu:

I have always had hardgainer/ectomorph tendancies. It is easy for me to lose weight quickly.

Any other ectomorphs/hardgainers out there training for muscle?

kris0685,

You sound like an ectomorph or hardgainer. Are you looking to gain muscle? What routine are you following now?

kris0685,

I just started 3 months ago...started at 115 pounds so I've gained 16 pounds so far. I'm following a beginner program I found in a book called "The Book of Muscle" by Ian King. I'm on a two day spilt (upper one day and lower the next). I workout 3 times a week. If you have any suggestions that might help they would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
Sounds like your headed on the right track. As long as you are gaining, joints feel good, and you don't feel overtrained keep doing what your doing. Ian king is very well respected trainer. I would keep doing what your doing.

Below is an example mass workout. 4 heavy sets for 4-8 reps each.

Wednesday (legs, abs)
Heavy Squats, leg extension superset
Seated Calve Raises, 4 strips sets
Crunches (4 sets of 20)

Friday (chest, shoulder, triceps, abs)
Flat bench press, incline dumbbell flyes superset
Shoulder press, side raises superset
Tricep pushdowns
Reverse incline leg raises (3 sets of 20)

Sunday (back, biceps, abs)
Wide grip pull-ups, latbar pulldown superset
EZ bar bicep curl, incline dumbbell curls superset
Crunches (4 sets of 20)

This is a good program for skinny guys. I am following something similar right now.

Age: 19
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 135lb
Body fat: 12 - 14%
Goals: 8-9% body fat, training to win taekwondo competitions at a national or international level.

I'll stop saying more before I start making it sound like a personal heh:D...

Hey,

I just joined up and I'd be up for forming a group:

42 years old
5'11" (180 cm)
220 lbs (100 kg)
32% fat ( as calculated by a Tanita bodyfat scale)

I just gained 10 lbs over the holidays after stopping all exercise on November 5th. (I ran the NYC Marathon and injured myself partially because I was too heavy)

I'm a lot like Krosspyder...... between endo and mesomorph with most of my fat in the gut/butt region. My ultimate goal is to get below 10% body fat and to see my stomach muscles.(8 pack) My immediate goal is to get under 200 lbs and 20% fat by April 1st. I intend to lose between 1 and 2 pounds of fat a week.

Please let me know if you guys are up for a group.

Thanks,

Boodah

lets do this! how do we start?

lets do this! how do we start?

I don't really know, since I'm new here, but a quick perusal of some of the other challenges makes it seem like we need to talk to each other, establish a timeframe with goals and then start a challenge thread for the rest of this community to see. Judging from a few of the other threads i looked at, we can post our stats and pics or just stats. Then all we have to do is post to the thread regularly to check each other's progress and spur each other on...... I'm going to try to use the Private Message feature to contact you guys.

Anybody want to join me for a challenge?

My last challenge kind of ran out of gas, but I did meet my goals. Now, I've had the holidays and the post-holiday recovery and would like to get back into it.

5'11"
182 lbs
Probably ~20%BF (hopefully, that's an estimate on the high side, but no point in lowballing it)
Looking to try to see the abs for summer, aiming for ~10%

That would be an ~18 pound cut if it was pure fat (which it won't be, I know, but it's the ideal) - so I'd get down to 164. In 18 weeks, it'll be the end of May. I want to see how close to 10% I can get by June.

This is the proverbial "hard cut" - I was losing tons of weight fairly easily, because I was obese - now I'm at the point where it is no longer easy to lose fat, and to get farther, I'm going to have to micromanage more. I could sure use the extra motivation.

Anybody in a similar situation and want to bring it on?

Anybody want to join me for a challenge?

PeteBDawg, I will do it, it would be my first challenge. I have cut for about 6 months now, and I am on track for my original goal. Here are my stats.

starting:
6'5"
256lbs
~30%BF
at 9/18/04

current:
6'5"
219lbs
~20% BF
at 02/01/05

goal:
6'5"
197lbs - 202lbs
~10% BF
by 06/03/05

I too have been on an easy cut thus far, but I anticipate it becoming harder. I would like a little encouragement/motivation and some help. I think this is doable for me, as 4 months * 4 weeks = 16 weeks * 1.5lbs per week = 24lbs, well over the 17lbs - 22lbs I want to lose. PM if this is acceptable.

Could I join you guys if its not too late...

Or if one of the other 'big' guys wants to go in with me. Lord knows I need some more motivation to lose weight. Lifting isn't a problem though because it is so fun.


I've been lurking for a while--since last fall, I think. Started a daily routine just 10 days ago. Weight training 3 days per week, Cardio 6 Days per week. Eliminating the late night snacks, most of the alcohol and sweets, and cutting caloric intake by focusing on eating smaller portions and higher quality of foods.

Age: 35
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 241
BF%: 38%

31 years old, 5'10, 207lbs, 29%bf

anyone care to go against me?

Hey Guys, Looks like we caught the end of this thread. Let's make this a 3 person challenge. I've been cutting for just a couple of weeks now.

Age: 35
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 238
BF%: 37%

Anyone there with similar stats to mine looking for a challenge to get to get to 10% BF by November the 1st??
Since I got my new cheap analyser I'm gonna nail it, whether it be losing fat, bulking muscle, or both, or none.. any means necessary!
Just need someone or some ppl to help motivate me (esp. thru the upcoming exam period for me!!!) :tucool:

Use this thread to post your stats and find a partner or a group for your challenge!! Good luck!

OK, count me in! I just returned from over a month in Europe and lost my excellent BF ratio and got soft by not getting to a gym and (alas) eating too much of the wrong foods and enjoying the wine. I'm ready to get back on track and would love to find a partner to keep me accountable and motivated. Sooooooo, any other "Old Farts" (or anyone any age for that matter) out there to join me in pushing each other? PM me if interested. Thanks!

Age: 70
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 145#'s
Previous BF: was 10%/now probably 15%
Goals: Gym 5 days/week, cardio, get firm again, lower BF to 10%, fine-tune diet and macro ratios.

Anybody interested in a "fresh start challenge?" I'm moving to a new city pretty with a new job soon, and I want to use this as an opportunity to revamp my program and set some aggressive goals.

Anybody else been drifting and starting-and-stopping a bit for the last few months looking for a chance to get back on track? I still haven't managed to pull off a quality challenge on JSF - anybody want to give it a try with me?

Hight:5'7

Anyone around my age wanna partner up,this could help us both :lol: PM me :tucool:

I'm looking for someone who nearly fits my physical specs and has some of the same goals: to gain as much muscle as possible as well as increased strength. My stats:

Height: 6"
Weight: 160#
Age: 69
Health: great!

I'm hoping to increase strength this year in hopes of competing next July in a local armwrestling tournament. As you may know, the categories are by weight only; so most guys in my weight class are considerably shorter than me and subsequently stronger. I'd like to give them more of a struggle in the competition. So I'm working especially on biceps this year. Anybody with similar interests?

Piperman you guys sure are short in Oregon. You are only six inches tall and everyone in your weight class will be shorter than you. Good luck with the competition. Sorry I cant partner with you but I am a full six feet taller than you. :D

Enough of me being silly. Just noticed your typo. You look great by the way for 69 years.

I am 29 years old, 219lb and 37% BF. Yuck I know. Anybody out there with similar stats that want to challenge?

37, male, 6', 193# and 24% bf (if my scale reads correctly).
I've lost over 20lbs in the past few months, and I want to lose another 20lbs, as well as get the bf into the low teens.
Anyone out there who wants to partner up/do a challenge?
I'd also be interested in partnering/challenging someone who's interested in competitive sports (5k, 10k, half-marathon or sprint triathlon) by the summer. But either one works!

Hey guys, I'm 17 years old, about 11-12% bodyfat right now, getting back into a routine starting tomorrow. I want my first goal to get to 8% bodyfat. I want a training partner who's in it for the long run and isn't gonna drop out on me like lots of my others have (the ones I actually went to the gym with). I'm a racquetball player, and I'm on the verge of going pro but I really need to get my fitness level better. I'm starting first thing tomorrow morning, would anybody like to start up a thread with me and help keep each other motivated? Reply quick! Thanks!

Piperman you guys sure are short in Oregon. .

Hello everyone, i'm looking for a partner for motivation.

Lifting is easy for me, but cardio is pretty hard to get motivated. I wanna maybe set some challenges with someone to make sure i stay motivated.

Please PM me :)

Looking for a partner(s) to help motivate one another with diet and exercise. I've gotten on and fallen off the bandwagon quite a few times and need some help staying on this time.

Today I started a xanga journal http://www.xanga.com/fitnessdave. Although I don't do too much posting on here, I do read the boards.

I want to stay on the wagon. That's my challenge.

"Stay On The Wagon Challenge"

I think that by staying on the wagon that will directly lead to my other goals. Getting down to 10, sub 10 bf%, feeling better about my appearance, running, biking, all the good things associated with better health.

I don't know if someone wants to start a thread or not. If you're interested though just PM me.

And let's hang on for dear life!

I just wanted to introduce myself and also see if anyone else starting out wants to be an online training partner with me.

I guess I could use someone to keep me on my diet...

I am an avid cyclist (a double century is my 2008 goal), a casual runner and love lifting weights.

Oh, also... married with a 5 and 7 year old and we are knee deep in activities. That is kind of significant.

If anyone wants to share training logs/schedules, food habits, ups, downs, piss ons, piss offs, let me know.

Bottom line... If you are fat like me and want motivation (good or bad), lemme know.
