The dunking experience was different. I think I was a little to optimistic on what the results would be and it actually put me in a funk for about two days. My body does not like me for that because I punished it at the gym, had to work out the frustration. Lets just say if you ever do it, it will be a reality slap to the face. The scale doesn't tell you what that will and the scale doesn't hurt that bad. At least I know where I am at and know what I have to do from this point on.

You know white people can't jump. lol

I did the hydrostatic weighing. The weigh you on land and then in water. Since fat weighs less than water, they can tell how much fat you have by your underwater weight.

Yeah, I can understand that. I know I'm not super lean so that is why I didn't see a point in it. But hey, you were curious and gave it a try. Eat clean and train for awhile, then go back and you will be able to see the before/after effects of your hard work! That would be pretty cool.

It did tell me how much muscle I need to gain and how much fat I have to lose to get to my goal. Its a little further than I thought I had to go but I will get there.

I'm chilled out now. As far as mats, I don't know what that is.

On the other note, those large over muscled bodybuilders dont do well in my sport. Those supersized muscles require WAY too much oxygen in order to be usable for length of reasonable time. I have rolled with those types many, many times and they always gas out. Its their instinct to power everything and that doesnt work. If you would like to give it a try thinking you could do well and could hang with an old fat guy like myself you can consider yourself having an open invitation. You would quickly see there is a big difference in training for muscle strength and endurance and why i say your points dont apply to me or my training.

I'm down when I have some free time. I probably won't do as well as you, since that is your niche. Which is why I don't do crossfit but, I'll give it a shot when I have a Thursday free with my bestie. What is mats anyway?

Mats are cushioned floor mats that we train on in BJJ. Rolling around on wood or concrete doesn't feel to good. That's only done when you aren't given a choice. lol

Let me know when so I can be entertained. The funny thing is Steve is one of the most gentle guys to newbies in the bjj gym. But if you cross him he will make you pay. If your lucky he will even bless you!

Lmao!! The Benny Hinn cracks me up, what can i say. Hahaha

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is what BJJ stands for. Specifically trained in the Gracie lineage. I trained with Steve for years and can tell you now, it will be a very humbling experience for you. People that don't train and never have, really have no idea what a trained BJJ fighter can do to you. Imagine play wrestling with a 3 year old at your size and age. That is what its like for somebody that is trained to roll with someone who has never done it. Its like throwing around a baby. I know that sound cocky but that is what it feels like, I have done that to many new people. Now I'm so out of practice I will probably lose to people that have only been in it for a little while but a new guy will get triangle choked.

I'm sure it would be.

This may sound like a stupid question but, I remember someone from a previous job saying that his hands had to be registered as weapons or something because he was a black belt in Karate or some martial arts. Is that true that you know of?
