Third Year Plateau
Fit-test results are in, nearly a year since the last one, and the results are decidedly mixed. Some of that is probably the tail end of that cold, and there's some random error on either side. Still, it's not good.
Weight: 159 lbs. (+8.6 lbs.)
BMI: 25.7 (+1.3)
Measurements: All measurements up except waist (which is same): 0.75 inch around shoulders, 1.25 chest, 0.3 hips, 1 thigh, 0.3 calf, 1.4 bicep, 1.1 forearm. Changes seem to be related to gain in muscle, so not too bad. Still have failed to cut that fat around the middle, though.
Fitness Scores
Overall: 66 → 51
(1-100, 50 is average, higher is better, compared to other males my age)
Bodyfat (3-Pinch Measure): 33 → 59 (18.8% → 14.2%)
Bodyfat (Impedance Measure): 59 → 40 (14.3% → 17.4%)
(Not sure what to make of that. By one measure, I've lost 5 pounds of fat and gained 13 pounds of muscle. By another measure, I've gained 6 pounds of fat and 2 pounds of muscle. Neither of those measures is particularly accurate. My last test was around when I was leanest, so I'd say I've probably regained a bit of fat overall, but also gained some muscle.)
Resting Heart Rate: 50 → 25 (68 BPM → 76 BPM)
Active Heart Rate: 82 → 29 (84 BPM → 115 BPM)
(This is where a little congestion really throws the results off. I hope.)
60-Second Situps: 80 → 75 (46 reps → 45 reps)
Maximum Pushups: 78 → 67 (34 reps → 29 reps) (good form, now to get those reps back up!)
Sit-Reach Flexion: 80 → 68 (20 in. → 18.75 in.) (guess I need to stretch more, too)
The silver lining: I have been doing good the last few weeks since I redoubled my efforts and started seeing the trainer three times per week again, I have put on some muscle, and my cardio endurance (which I mentioned as a setback last year) is also up this year (though it doesn't show in that particular test).
