Had a double quarter pounder with cheese (sans bun) for lunch and it was fucking delicious. I noticed it had a bit of trans fat in it however, and was a bit confused as I thought trans fats only occurred in partially hydrogenated oils, and that they are of course very bad for your arteries. Did a little research and found that there is are two types of trans fats, and the type found naturally in animals is shown to raise good/lower bad cholesterol and has anti-carcinogenic properties as well. I love you cattle.

Pretty cool day of "fitness" stuff for me today. Went to the local University with my wife and got our body fat measured. I was 4% on the body calipers and 7% (I was around 10% half a year ago) in the hydrostatic tank. Wife was 14% in the tank, very good for a woman. Also got our VO2 Max tested again and next time they're going to measure our muscular and bone densities.

Also got my textbook and online courses situated to start studying to take the NASM Certified Personal Trainer exam. Very excited and nervous. The cirriculum looks much harder than I expected. Wish me luck!

Those are IMPRESSIVE body fat numbers...especially for your wife. Strong work, dude.

And good luck with your studies.

Good stuff.

How did you go about doing that at the University? Who did you contact?

I'd like to do something similar. I bought a cheap plastic caliper to measure myself when I started the program I'm on now but I think I got artificially low numbers.

I'd love to have a pro do it and also try the tank, and I don't feel like dealing with the douchebags at a big local gym.

171.5 on the scale this morning....this ultra high intensity cardio 6 days a week with strength training 3 days a week is working....I can FEEL the last of the goo coming off...I'll measure again Sunday morning to see how the BF% is coming along. 4-6% is my goal...and it's in reach...just have to keep pushing.

I took my blood pressure this morning too....108/58 with a pulse of 54. Cardiovascular system is STRONG.

One of those vids he posted, recognized that out of all of the diets they tested, Atkins actually gave people the best results as far as cholesterol and whatnot were concerned.

After my dad had a triple bypass, the docs actually recommended Atkins for him.

Good question. I don't think it's worth it to get it tested for another month or so. I'm really eating a lot of fat and protein now as I'm trying to gain a little weight for my next tourney. Planning on a blood test in the first part of August so I'll post the before and after numbers.

I last had it checked half a year ago and it was "very good" but not excellent.

I'm friends with the Dean of Kinesiology and one of his undergrads and they have all the cool fitness toys at their new facility. They use our numbers for a study he's doing on the effects of High Intensity Exercise (BJJ in my case). I've trained Jiu Jitsu with some of the trainers from the two local big box gyms and there are some pretty cool ones so it might be worth a shot if you want to get good numbers, or see how accurate your caliper is.

Well, a few of them are working way harder than I am at it.
I'm just happy that my compulsion to be a little healthier is holding and I'm trying to keep my momentum.
