Starting Strength - A Nurse's story!

[NurseKnuckles]

You can't !? Nyuakka I'm almost 199. That's frightening.

I'm a skinny-fat 200 lbs. I defintely look like I don't even lift.

Also 199? That's great.

Shit, you must have a great personality then. We've seen your wife.




Nah. I feel much better at 210.

Yeah, its pretty big... Oh wait, I do have a good personality.

210? I was so close not a few months ago. Eating enough throughout the day is always my toughest challenge. I end up shovelling everything in at night.

Yeah, I didn't have to shovel down food to get there, though.

I'd love to weigh 199, in fact that's my goal for the year. I'm not nearly strong enough to be walking around at 215. It sucks dragging 15-20 lb of unneeded flab around the ice rink every week.

Why not get stronger and be a powah forward?

 

[DrBdan]

Arnold knows best.

Why not get stronger and be a powah forward?

My plan is to get stronger of course but there's still no need to be carting around extra flab. I feel like I can continue to get stronger while dropping 1 or 2 lb/month.

I'd already categorize myself as a power forward. I like to crash the net and I score most of my goals around the net. I don't have a good enough shot to snipe from the outside and my passing isn't good enough to be a big playmaker. A couple guys on my team said I remind them of Mark Messier because of how aggressive I am. Even after I lose some weight I'll still be one of the biggest guys on the team but I should also gain back a bit of quickness and agility.

I've watched the Awenuld vid a few times. I lol every time.

Mine is the opposite. I defintely carry a little too much "extra" weight around the mid section but thats only because my diet isn't the cleanest. I just try to eat what I can when I can.

I would categorize myself as a small forward. I had hands but my strength was myskating. Typically my move was simply wheel out of our zone and carry the puck wide and deep, then make the play. My office was behind the net. And I was tenacious in the corners. Wasn't a scorer, but a play-maker.
