      @derivative666:

      regarding fireman carry dont worry about me boys I promise I wont weigh more then 230# i am already down 30# got a ways to go. I will not let the team or myself down!

      I'm not a guy that goes directly on to the scale in the morning after waking up, but the last time i did, i finally reached my maximum (220lbs.) and actually was shocked, since I never have been there.

      now it's all about controlling my eating habits and getting back on going to the gym 2-3times a week again (started with everything on monday!), so that I should end up with my personal dream weight, which is around 176-187lbs. in a few months!
      also for me, a look into the mirror is way more important than a number on the scale…

      so the best of luck to the both of us...and brooks, Z, Monday & Gav as well 😉

      maybe we should start posting into the "in fitness and in health" thread, so that we all going to watch out on eachother to keep us motivated in the long run!?

          Wow.  I go away from the forum for a few hours and return to this… Inspired.  Thank you Z and Doug for the workout advice.  It's much appreciated/needed.  And, of course, a HUGE thanks to d666 for the idea.  Like Monday, I am the type of person who feeds on tangible goals that push myself.  The concept of putting an Iron Heart Team together for an unbelievable physical challenge -- and the fear of being the weakest link in a strong group -- is exactly what the doctor ordered.

              BLACKFROSTT is in.
              Lets see, I've basically lost around 65 lbs (currently 205lbs) the last year and 3 months…. I've been working out five days a week since coming to Afghanistan to work, and feel that this would be a great challenge for me to undertake... When this takes place, I will hopefully be in the best shape of my life....

                                      You went with the Dragondoor kettlebell? I don't know how they're different from the Cap Barbell kettlebells, but I've been very satisfied with the Cap Kettlebells. I have 17 or 18 of them

                                          not in shape enough for all that kettle-corn-stuff; plus i'm clumsy & can see me dropping it on my foot or hitting somebody in the head.

                                          old school with very simple pull ups, dips, push-ups & sit-ups.  jump rope, ride my bike or just walk around the block for light cardio. once that gets boring & easy i'll upgradeadd different elements to it.

                                          with a year to get ready for this i can actually focus on diet as well as mental & physical fitness.  plus if i go hard now i'll be board by the time it's time for the challenge.  pace myself slow & steady to avoid injury & i think i'll be fine.  slow & steady works for me.

                                          of course every one is different, so do what works for you

                                            if a plain round kettle bell doesn't do it for you, how about one that looks like an angry chimp
