Glenndingo Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hi there, as the title suggests I was just looking for an excel formula to accurately calculate my stats as a joke, as I started a different kind of pull up/push up/dip routine during my shift. I am originally from Florida, although I live in Jacksonville, NC right now and am currently in Afghanistan enjoying every day of my life with very little sarcasm. Anyway, I had come up with an all around upper body routine for my guys on shift to do to keep them engaged in between our "lunch" (read: around 0100 in the morning) and our "dinner" (read: everyone elses breakfast) and I created a spreadsheet to track my progress, and I have been playing a lot of classic RPGs out here in my down time and they all had stats so I thought it would be funny to have RL stats...which lead to a search for a stat tracking formula that led me here. I would love to share information about the different types of workouts we use and the different types of workouts everyone else uses. My name is Glenn and I like playing the guitar, and going fast in cars. I am a 28 year old Marine. Nice to meet you. Quote Link to comment
67alecto Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Welcome to the forums. I got all excited, expecting an excel question. I also started out with an excel workbook to track my progress. I kept a database of calorie counts for various foods, and used vlookup, match, etc to pull in all the calorie counts for a running total as the day went by. I also tracked things like estimated calories burned, lifting progress, etc. I had all sorts of charts and formulas that would display my current stats, my goal stats, calculations of future dates for various benchmarks, and more. Semper fi! Quote Repairing a lifetime of bad habits... Link to comment
Cacophony Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Wow... and here I feel like a slacker! I just pick up heavy stuff lots and chase kids around all day. LOL Are you planning on posting a template for said excel sheet for the less computer literate folks? Welcome on board! Quote . ~*~ Some things make ripples... I prefer to make waves. ~*~ .

Alethea Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 We're working on getting the Character Sheets we've invented for our fitness game to be a little more automated, but until then, mostly I just track via Daily Burn.

Glenndingo Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yeah I was totally looking for someone to do the work for me, lol B/c I don't know that much about excel. D: Quite nice to find like minded people, I suppose. :> Quote Link to comment
GymratAnarchist Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have a couple of excel spreadsheets just for these purposes, if anyone wants them PM me and I'll be happy to send them.

Alethea Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Just got a look at Gymrat's excel sheets. Holy epic. There's charts and everything. Kickass! Quote "Let another say.

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say...Chrono Trigger? FF3 (VI)? Secret of Mana?And lastly, thank you for your service...hopefully you hear that all the time, but it's still not enough.
