Joe what's your racing weight? Are you a tad husky right now?

From SlowJoe on Tue, Mar 22, 2016 at 17:24:55 from 107.77.64.123

144 is what I've used in the past, so I am ~5 lbs on the husky side, but lately I've been wondering if 150 is a "stronger" weight. I've had some really good workouts over the past couple years @ 150. Anyway, I'm not going to do anything about it either way, so que sera sera.

Thats because you ignored me when I told you to eat some burgers man!

From SlowJoe on Tue, Mar 22, 2016 at 18:06:58 from 107.77.64.123

You were right all along!

From Dan on Tue, Mar 22, 2016 at 18:35:09 from 71.72.159.140

Hey Joe, how tall are you? 150 does not mean much without height. I am 6' exactly. So when I am 150 I am very light. My PR was when I was 143, but I was pretty gaunt and no way I can maintain that level.

From SlowJoe on Tue, Mar 22, 2016 at 18:53:05 from 107.77.64.123

I must be right in between 5'10" and 5'11" because I get each one about half the time I am measured for stuff...

From Derunzo on Tue, Mar 22, 2016 at 19:07:33 from 98.229.177.205

Joe, while we're at it, what's your sign?

If there is a full moon covering Uranus, I'm pretty sure that means sub 3.

From SlowJoe on Tue, Mar 22, 2016 at 20:18:45 from 107.77.64.123

I'm a Sagittarius, ISTJ Meyer-Briggs type, enneagram type 3, waist size varies between 30-31" based on whether I've just hit a Chinese buffet or not, compulsive personality workaholic, size 9.5 shoes, can't grow a full beard like a real man, worlds worst singer and/or dancer, have an overactive thyroid, bad cholesterol numbers, have holes in all my socks, moderate ADD, and I lose my phone and/or keys a lot.

But do you like pina coladas?

From Tom Slick on Wed, Mar 23, 2016 at 12:24:55 from 168.179.158.193

I haven't seen 144lbs since I was in the 7th grade. I'm surprised that I can even remember that factoid.
