Weightroom Report

Congratulations on your hard work paying off. What is your overall goal?

Also, Can you be ready to play at RT?

My overall goal is to get down to 10% body fat and be in better shape at 50 than I was at 25. But at 165 lbs I'm a little small for RT.

That's a MAN there. Even if he did play for the enemy.

Yes, I believe he played hoops at Vandy.

CNS expects all running backs to run a minute in 57 seconds flat.

I can't vouch for the accuracy of the report, but I heard that Javier Arenas just missed it by 3 seconds the other day, but he's getting close.

Do I detect a touch of man love in this thread?

If you couldn't outrun him he could probably have his way with you.

You are correct - just checked it out. The caliper tests and other measures are far more accurate, and do produce real body fat ratios. From the info offered on the CDC.gov website, BMI is only meant as an indicator. To get a real measurement of body fat, one must see a professional (or buy calipers and have someone teach you how and where to measure yourself).

That doesn't change the discussion of AS' obesity, but it does prove Earle's point that BMI should not be used to determine obesity...

This defines obesity.

I don't consider Vandy the enemy, exactly. Nash played Center for UcheaT 1979-1980 time frame
.

The BMI is very flawed. According to it Michael Jordan was "overweight" at the peak of his career. I'm also considered overweight by the BMI, but I often get teased by friends for being skinny. If you are fit and have much muscle mass at all it just doesn't work.

With that said, nobody can deny that Andre needs to drop a few pounds. Hopefully Saban can provide the motivation.

I agree, also. As quick as he is now, just think what he would be like slimmed down. Whomever he was blocking, would be on his back a lot quicker!

FWIW, Andre is a much more fluid player than Chris Samuels was, but it is yet to be decided if AS will ever be as good.

they have a bodpod at UA, brought there by a swedish prof whose name i can't remember 6 or 7 years ago. i would hope that, if it's still around, the athletics folks use it for the most accurate body composition analyses.

LOL - then it is a good thing that I am a marathon runner... :biggrin:

Missed it by that much cheif. I musta read the bio and posted the wrong dates anyway. DOHHH

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Nash

Nope, this link shows I was close. Big Sexy was born in 1959, which would have put him in school the same time I was, which was 78-81 or there abouts, unless he took a 10 year hiatus before going to college.

blackumbrella, players told me it was like weight scale with some form of tens electrodes that stuck on the body to get the reading. Is that the bodpod? When, I heard some of the results on few of the leaner players could not beleive the body fat %. Some of our DB'S in the 15% range. Needless to say, we have many who have been asked to drop as much 30 pounds.

I think the number of replies to this thread just goes to show how concerned we are as fans, and also that we know how important strength and conditioning is to the program. We are concerned because it has been severely lacking in the past and has shown big time on the field!

 

[Mamacalled]

Are those for REAL!!??

Roufus beat that big man down.

There are many men weighing 310-330 who are not obese.

Wrestled at 308-318 and was pretty darned agile.

This guy is over 300 where is the fat? Obese does mean increased body weight caused by excessive accumulation of fat.

Bottom pic - I bet it's a struggle for that guy to wipe his butt. Not trying to be funny, I'm serious. _sad:
