Respawn time

[jwolfe]

Hey everybody, I'll make this short and sweet. I've been getting emails from nf for a while, but didn't sign up for the boards here till I got the one about respawning. basically, it scored a critical hit by describing the way life (especially the holidays) has gotten in the way of my fitness goals lately, so I decided I'm gonna sign up here and get back on track.

Anyway, my name is Justin, I live in NE Ohio, I'm a very fat 6'1" 280lbs. I'm down 30lbs from when I started, but I've been stagnant in diet, exercise, and weight for a few months now.

I have trained and coached boxing, and I play dagorhir.

I'd like to get back into my martial arts training, but I also wouldw like to broaden my fitness horizens by learning some new ways to move like parkour, gymnastics, and inline skating. Also, I have the goal of being abke to complete a pull-up (which I know is a pretty necessary skill for parkour anyway)

I want to get stronger AND lighter AND more skilled AND have fun doing it.

oh, and also I'm a Vegan

Hi Justin

 

30lbs is no joke, that's awesome. Well done.

 

What style martial arts do you do?

 

I will never forget my first pull up about 2 years ago... lots of negatives is what did it!

 

I'm a vegan too (centaur, half horse you see). There's a forum here for veg people, hope to see you there.

 

Good luck with your goals, and welcome!

Thanks man.

Primarily boxing, but I've dabbled in jiu jitsu, thai boxing, and a little bit of kung fu.

negatives huh, that sounds like a good plan.

sweet. I'll definitely head over there
