My son was overweight for the USMC

Had a first class PFT and first class CFT and was playing semi pro football and he barely taped out. He had been recruited for MARSOC and had his packaged approved at the time, but they put him through hell to get to whatever arbitrary weight they wanted. Just another reason he left.

How can a scale tell how much muscle you have?**
GretnaHokie • 06/17/25 11:14 AM ET
Smart scale.
EDGEMAN • 06/17/25 11:26 AM ET
Pretty cool technology. **
GretnaHokie • 06/17/25 12:45 PM ET
Indeed. They've been around for a while, but I just stumbled across...
EDGEMAN • 06/17/25 12:55 PM ET

Hume.

Hope it’s not the one VDOT uses.**

I used to wonder about that as it pertained to working out, esp with…

It's good to "tone". What does that mean? You just mean it's good to add
BG Hokie • 06/17/25 12:55 PM ET

Sounds like he was in the 1% zone
EDGEMAN • 06/17/25 01:35 PM ET
I started lifting (again) a little over a year ago, but had stopped...

I would suggest that you don't consider cardio your leg workouts. Train
BG Hokie • 06/17/25 01:19 PM ET
Well...the very first rule...
