Yup same diet. thanks for reminding me. I was suppose to weigh and measure this past weekend. had to work and it messed up my mental calendar . I'll do it this weeknd . I'm pretty sure I've gained a couple more pounds . probably close to 184 I'd guess.
That would be about 15 lbs in 9 weeks.

**P-funk** · 06-30-2004, 11:26 AM

DAMN!! 15lbs in 9 weeks!! Almost 2lbs per week.

I just remembered , I weigh about 15 lbs more than I did the last time I was doing pullups so i did better than I thought.

I was about to say, your putting on weight and improving your pullups. That's awesome! When I put on weight I couldn't for the life of me figure out why my pullups were going down, LOL. Great Job!

yeah that was LAZY . I usually increase the weight and decrease the reps but was too lazy to walk around to the back of the machine to move the pin. Is that not LAZY ??? LOL

Have a great ab workout ! Wish I could be there

Have fun this weekend ! Be safe!

I haven't been doing pull-ups lately, but on Power week I'll do it. I've lost some weight so hopefully I'll be able to do more

Thanks for the Birthday wish, birthdays aren't the best for me though. You have a great 4th also!

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
