house-painting skydivers, and most other kinds of skydivers as well, are STILL all a bunch of hose-stealing pervert degenerates. I, for one, never miss any opportunity to steal a hose. I'm sure they will proudly agree Glad to hear about your hose

But it only works if you believe in California. The rest of us have to settle for Expensive Local Healing

I cant advise you on what you should call yourself but I CAN tell you that its normal. I took 8+ years off and returned to jumping this past November. In the weeks leading up to my first return jumps I was apprehensive and even fearful at times when thinking about it. When "The Big Day" actually arrived I was a bit nervous but nothing like what I had felt weeks before. I felt much better one I got that first one under my belt

I think this was meant to be "animosity" and I have to second the statement. Seems that wrightskyguy was a bit harsh. Right or wrong, this might have been stated in a more constructive way.

Slow IS fast. Fast is faster!

And already a pooh-bah eh? That takes some serious PW action!

I shoulda kept my mouth shut. Partly Cloudy 35 F. West winds at 14 mph

Sure ya can. Its just that the answer is always infinity

Cross Keys Thursday Sunny 40 F. Winds out of the west at 13 mph PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont let it change. (unless its a change for the better) This will be the nicest weather we have had in a while. I'll take it!

You dont know the half of it. This is what I really look like

So those are the only 2 choices then, Benny? Drunk or stoned? How about sober? A stoned pilot may not be as likely to have a problem as a drunk one, that doesnt mean they are safe. They arent safe. Drunk or stoned, they are mentally impaired and peoples lives are in their hands. Thats bad. Period.

Coffee Heath bar crunch is by far the best flavor ice cream in the entire universe.

I completely agree with PhillyKev. He is right on!

See? Its already been changed to rain and 49

No no.......the finger actually adds flavor! Especially if your butt was itchy. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHYHHHHHH

Uhhhh...Thats not a hamburger. Its a little round meatloaf

If you dont want a burger that had someone finger stuck in it you can always buy 93% lean ground beef!

Holy crap!!! I'm gonna have to make myself one of those! Off to the store for some bleu cheese!

Everytime a post something on here Chris you are there! Why are you stalking me!! Check out the weather for freezefest...50 on friday!!! I stalk different people for different reasons. I'm stalking you because I want that colored protrack! It says 50 now. By Friday it'll say -45 with 35 knot winds If it actually turns out that way I'll blow off work Friday!

Yes, another protrack. You keep the new one and give your nifty colored one to me

Instead of replacing handles with things that are harder to grab, why not just keep peoples hands off your MLW? Making handles harder to grab doesnt seem like a good idea to me. If I should happen to need them, I want them EASY to grab.

Some folks have met me at Cross Keys. I'm real. At least, I THINK I'm real. It think, therefore I am. I think.

When the weather is perfect, you gotta blow off the other thing you have to do

I'll answer your last question and heartily second what AggieDave said here. Your caloric intake is too low. You should either add calories or cut down the cardio some. Myself, I advocate increasing the calories. If you are like me (slow metabolism) you NEED the cardio to reduce your body fat but you also need to calories because you are pushing your body hard. Keeping your intake that low invites illness and injury. It would also be a good idea to use a good high potency multi-vitimin/mineral suppliment. I'm currently on 2500-3000 calories per day. I dont count them religiously but rather just take note of averages. Nutrition is extremely important but counting calories isnt imperative. My diet consists mostly of protien and carb with very little fat (cept for those damn cookies). 280 - 300 grams of protien a day. Carbs fill out the rest. I try to minimise the carbs at night. I dont drink alcohol. That a shitload of carbs there plus it dehydrates you which is VERY BAD. Keep properly hydrated at all times. VERY IMPORTANT. This isnt preaching. If yo are serious about your goals, dont consume any alcohol on a regular basis. Once in a while is fine, but keep it to a minimum. I am on a fairly hard core physical routine. I do 90 minutes or cardio a day 7 days a week. 60 in the AM before breakfast and another 30 in the evening after weights. I have a 4 day training split on a 6 day rotation for weights. ie: day 1 Arms (bi's tri's) day 2 Back & legs day 3 off day 4 shoulders (delts & traps) day 5 chest day 6 off back to day 1 the weight routine is a pain sometimes because the rotation is les than a week meaning that various body parts do not fall on the same day every week but come up 1 day shorter each week (if that makes sense) The effect of this routine is that I am losing fat at a rate of 1 lb per week (give or take a few oz.) At this rate it will take nearly 3 months to lose 10 lbs BUT I wont drop any muscle mass or strength in the process. You already know how disheartening it is to lose strength you worked so damn hard to get. I am seeking to avoid that mental anguish. note: once I'm ready to start pushing up the max again I will reduce the cardio. I only have it this high right now because I'm trying to lean out. The key to it all? Patience. You have lofty goals. Thats awesome. Realize that they will take time to achieve and dont quit

While your max goal is certainly attainable, I dont know if its possible to put that much muscle on your body and keep your weight at 180 lbs. You are setting a goal (given your preferred weight) of being able to bench 2.2 times your body weight. Thats huge and if you can accomplish it, more power to you. I have been body building for a good number of years. I have yet to achieve my own goals which, from the sound of things, are VERY similar to your own except for the weight. I dont see myself achieving that 400 lb. goal at less than 200 lbs body weight. I currently weight in at 205 lbs. I'm 5' 10" with a 34" waist and a 48" chest. My max bench as of 4 days ago is 340 lbs. I've been stuck at 340 lbs max for a number of months now. If I can hold it there till I get down to 195, then I will begin to push again. I am not currently taking any suppliments other than multi-vitimins and protien. Once I'm ready to push upwards again I will start a cycle of creatine supplimentation doing a 2 month on one month off rotation. I have had exellent results using creatine in the past but it does add weight as your muscle cells uptake more water. I am working to put my weight at 195 lbs right now without sacrificing any muscle mass. losing 10 lbs (in a short time) without losing strength is quite a challenge. Especially since I like cookies so damn much :-)
