Mighty Midget no more

[Pappy]

CJ set out this fall to get himself in much better shape for racing and just to be a healthier person in general. He was able to take weight lifting in school this year and started with that, then added a home routine since Christmas since he got a weight set and such:p

So far, he has went from 175 down to 147 and is now 150-155. He is still having issues with his knee but he has started alot more cardio as of late which will continue as his knee responds from low impact to more aggresive workouts.

His goal by April 1st is to add more definition and have his cardio up to par.

He has been working hard at it, and I hope others who are trying keep at it.

Ryan took a before picture so he can compare it to one that will be taken on April 1st for motivation:p

You would think with all that muscle he could pull his pants up past his underwear.
tell him to pull his pants up. I know I'm old fashion.

Pants on the floor..........:D



Holden started liften weights with the the football team and it really help build him up....good luck and keep us posted.

Lmao. How old is he?

16

Im pretty proud of him for doing the workouts. We know the racing will be curtailed this season so there wasnt any real drive to do get in better shape etc. He was able to get weightlifting again for his senior year so he is happy about that. The workout leading to April 1st is the one McGill laid out so he is expecting some good things.

As long as it's by the hair, if you drag them by their feet they fill up with dirt. :D

The nice thing is he's young. Kid is just gonna blow up and, pretty soon, he'll be draggin you by your hair through the door.

Got busy and let the first slip past me.....

He now is down to a fit 166 in full riding gear and has proven he can run flat out for 2 hours:p Wish some of it would rub off on me:devil:

[chucked]

When you say run, do you mean by legs or by quad?

[Pappy]

Race pace..quad:p

[chucked]

Gotcha, still pretty good. I'm gettin there...

[bens250ex]

A good cardio I picked up is spinning I usually do it 2 times a week for an hour straight before weight lifting. Builds my legs up and stamina. But I found it alot better than runing it was more of a challenge. So if you have a speed bike or access to a gym with spinners deff try it out

[Pappy]

The running is still out. His knee swells up horribly if he jogs

Wow!! I can run race pace for about 15 minutes then start to fade (that's mx, xc is a little different) Hoping to double it if I can drop this stupid smoking habit after this semester.

being almost 50 years old, not quite fat, (albiet some what softer), out of shape, and gimpy from too many past injuries to list,..
there are still very few 16 year olds that I would consider a threat.
BUT,
in your boys case, tell him if he ever gets mad at me and wants to "jump bad" , I wont even take the chance on getting hurt, or waste my time.
I'll just shoot his azss!!!

He looks like a Grizzly Bear to me, and I don't wrestle with them either !

Lookin ' Good Bud !
and keep up the good work!

won't be long till he's having to beat the girls away with a 2x4.

So tell us something Pappy,...

When are you going to be changin' your name to, GRAND-Pappy ???
:D :D :D

[Pappy]

hopefully not for a long time:p
