Just curious, does anyone have a reason other than "I weigh too much/I weigh too little?" I want to get up to 147 lbs so I can fight as a welterweight in Muay Thai.

I'm pretty competitive, but my goal date is starting to look a bit daunting, i'm going to have to go at this hardcore. You're all going down!


I personally think pple should just quote themsleves and give an update as a bump (keep original in profile or w/e), when 80% of pple wont really commit, I dont think the op should really have to put in so much work.

majority of runners, elite and otherwise, land on their heel in distance running. don't sweat form too much.

good luck everyone, try setting one or more intermediate goals to monitor your progress and make sure you're keepin' on track!


really? I'm pretty sure the best land on their entire foot area?


assuming you mean midfoot? actually there's only one empirical study i'm aware of on the subject, but its data is pretty clear (you can find reference to it in the link below, ctrl+f for 'hasegawa' )

if you feel like reading extra info, feel free to skim over this. it's more of a side-discussion to the main topic which is these so-called running 'techniques' Pose and Chi, but it provides a decent overview of foot strike in general.
it's pretty long though =/

i've been trying to gain some weight for a long time. i was 160lbs in 9th grade, its been 9 years since then and i am still the same weight, and of course taller. i'll hop on this too.

Age: 22 Height: 6'5''
Current Weight: 165lbs
Goal Weight: 175lbs
Starting Date:now
Goal Date: Summer 2009

it is winter and there is snow for the next 2-3 months here, but i am still riding my bike 4+ times a week, and got a part time job to cure the boredom that is small town life, so i am on my feet for 8 hours on top of that. i've been eating organic for 3 years, and have been trying to keep a good diet since then.

at my disposal, i have a bunch of free weights, punching bag, bench press, pull up bar and dip thingy. all i need is that motivation to use it, like Energies was saying in the OP. i'm wanting to build some muscle

Well i've been trying to lose weight for a while now cause ever since I graduated i've just been gaining. The bad thing is it's winter and I get a lot of snow/ice here so running or doing the stairs are a no for right now and there's no real close by gym since atm I don't drive.

Age: 19 Height: 6'1"
Current weight:235
Goal Weight:200
Starting Date:Now
Goal Date:Hopefully by summer but most likely near the end.

I have a pretty decent set of weights at home and in the summer I lost about 10 pounds in 1 month but I didn't keep it up so hopefully if I start off good and keep it going i'll be fine. Good luck to everyone else. And I don't mind being over 200 if I gain a lot of muscle but, I just wanna not be fat. T.T

Goal Weight: To be able to dunk (probably around 170 lb?)
Starting Date: Jan 5th
Goal Date: End of the quarter (11 weeks)

I've been friggin trying to dunk FOREVER and I've never totally focused on doing it. I think if I had 5 more inches I'd be able to do it. I plan to go to the gym at least 3-4 times a week and I'm going back on Air Alert.

off to sleep!


Interesting that this discussion has come up, I've been running regularly for the past three weeks and I've noticed I start off heel first, then about 1/4 into the run I'm forefoot and at the end when I'm tiring out I'll tend to be midfoot. Admittedly I'm running along bush trail for 95% of the run and it has lots of stair-like sections so I think that explains why the middle-near end of the run is forefoot. I guess I was just wondering what is better.

As for my stats and goals:

Age: 21. Height: 6'1"
Current Weight: 91.5kg
Goal Weight: 85kg
Starting Date: 16th December (I started at 95.5 - 96kg)
Goal Date: 8th February (Holiday)

I also have a secondary goal. There's a bush trail that goes directly past my house that I've been running every day (I caved over the nye period and skipped 3 days, but as of yesterday/today I'm back ) it's 5.1km I want to be able to run the entire thing, and I want to eventually be able to do it in under 30m (First time I ran it it was 55mins). I can't actually run the entire thing yet, I'm at 4 out of the 5km now (started as walking only) and I'm down to 36mins and 33 seconds as of today. I don't have a date for the 30mins or 'run the entire track' but I think 1.5-2 months from now, so 1st of march will have to do.
