SkyAnt 0 #1 July 23, 2003 My old gym buddies keep emailing me. I have been meaning to renew my membership but can't justify the expense at the moment. A years membership is around the same price as a shiney new PRO TRACK. I thought maybe I could just go twice a week, but for the same price as two casual visits I could do a Hop & Pop from 4000' "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

andy2 0 #4 July 23, 2003 buy a cheap ass weight bench from walmart. theyre like 60 bucks or something for a basic deal. That usually includes a couple free weights you can use for everything, calf raises, squats, curls, tricep bends, etc. The weight bench mainly for bench press...

RevJim 0 #5 July 23, 2003 QuoteIt's worth it, lifting weights will make you a better skydiver. Huh? I suppose buying Air Jordans will make me a beter basketball player, Owning a Bayliner instead of a Starcraft will make me a better waterskier, and drinking a shit load of beer will make me better at RW too? Well, ok, I'll give ya the beer vs. RW one. "Natural arch". It's your life, live it!

RevJim 0 #8 July 23, 2003 Quote And that was an edited post! Guess I should click quicker, huh? My point is, sure, exercise is good, but the only thing that will make you a better skydiver is to get on a plane, ride up, get out, fall, open, land, pack, repeat.It's your life, live it!

Remster 24 #9 July 23, 2003 Well Rev, for the average joe like you or I (I assume you're average.. lol), maybe, but nowadays, I think Airspeed, the French and the other top teams proved that if you wanna be on top of this sport, our beer bellies wont help....Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevJim 0 #10 July 23, 2003 If you want to be in that top 1/2 of 1 %, go for it. Myself, nah. I'm here to have fun, and the more competetive it gets, the less fun it is. I guess that's why I have adopted video and stills. It's fun as hell! Speaking of that, my Sony .6 came today. That sucker is W I D E !It's your life, live it!

Blahr 0 #12 July 23, 2003 Quote lifting weights will make you a better skydiver. Its true in that you will be stronger, more flexible, and less injury prone. This wont make you a "better" skydiver, but it could very well make skydiving "better" for you :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
