    Thank you for the cautionary tale. I don't intend to go too deep down the strength-training rabbit hole. Ultimately though, every year I look at myself and see that I am a little bit fatter than I have ever been. I don't want this one-way trend to continue indefinitely. As I've gotten older the work that I do becomes less active and more sedentary. It's clear that I need to find some other way of being physically active. I do some biking when the weather (and my motivation level) allows, but I'm not much for doing fitness just for fitness' sake. Climbing seems like an activity that I would enjoy, and my hope is that if I build some muscle along the way it will help keep my belly in check. However, I'm a somewhat obsessive person and my attentions span rarely stretches more than a few weeks, so we'll see what happens...

    The easiest way for anybody to keep body fat down is strength training, you burn 6 extra calories a day for every pound of muscle you have.  You don’t necessarily have to be a gym rat, I don’t lift much right now, but I’m able to maintain by training in Kickboxing and BJJ.

    The class I signed up for is "bouldering" which is no ropes and strictly low-altitude. I had a couple of jobs in my 20's that were heavily reliant on grip and hand strength, so I think I'm good there. I've been trying to do some basic excercises at home so that I'm not as complete embarrasment. Push-ups and sit-ups aren't bad, but I literally can't get my chin over the bar to do a pull-up.

    I'm curious what the demographics of this class are going to look like. Maybe if I'm the oldest one there I can use that as an excuse...

    Look for AthleanX on YouTube, I’m still trying to recover from tendon damage on my shoulders from two years ago because I was too relaxed whenever I went all the way down on each rep. I was a pull-up machine, 18-24 rep sets (185lbs).

    It'd be best to use the same dyno before and after for most accurate results. That said, no hard feelings if you stick with King. We just happen to have a couple of BMW guys over at LMT that would love to see your car!

    I just got back from King, not sure if they did any pulls with TC off and wouldn’t know if it makes a difference, I want to set up a day with you guys over at LMT to compare.

    Let me know if you want to get that thing dyno'd at some point.

    I already made an appointment at King Motorsports for next week.  I plan on getting an intake and exhaust around the summertime (hopefully), I send you a message when I’m ready to dyno the minimal gains from that.

    Its been a few weeks. 
    Best car you've ever owned?

    I would have said yes before I got Andy to flash (Dinan) my car at Kummrow, quite a difference 30rwhp can make. I may add the intake and exhaust later next year before upgrading the turbo and intercooler.
