Re: Fitocracy
It's a website that turns working out into an RPG, essentially.
Fixed, it has a database of exercises that's pretty extensive. You can combine them however you do and save them as a routine. So if you do pushups, crunches, and chin ups every day, you can save that as a routine. If, on the other hand, you invented your own unique version of a push up that nobody else has ever heard of, you'll have to figure out what it's most similar to in its database and use that as an equivalent.

Re: Fitocracy
I'm looking at your weight work, and then at my scrawny arms, and wondering if I'm doing the right kind of stuff
</fawns>

Re: Fitocracy
If I sign up for this and join your group, does that mean I can sue you when I have a heart attack in two weeks?
Re: Fitocracy
You jest, but if there's a downside, it's definitely that: pushing yourself farther than you should go for those sweet, sweet points. I'm actually a little concerned about my own self restraint, but so far so good.
Anyway, enough chit chatting! Dorkman's already Level 4! I gots to get my ass to the gym!

We'll catch you yet, Brian (lvl 12).
We can add our sets working to a 1RM can't we? I have to start tracking *everything*.

It calculates your 1RM based on the lifts you enter, I believe. I don't think there's a way to enter that manually. And they've recently changed their points algorithm for free weights, to much hullaballoo.

Re: Fitocracy
I received the following reply to my question about some pretty specific CrossFit workouts.
David,
Unfortunately our system doesn't support workouts as specific as that.
But I do want to note that just because our system isn't optimized for CrossFit (yet), that doesn't mean our users are curl bros 
. The vast majority focus on barbell compound movements, Olympic lifts, cardio, sports, etc.

Fingers crossed it becomes more useful as the beta progresses.

Re: Fitocracy
Like a fool I've signed up for this. A month and a half to get ready, what could go wrong?

Re: Fitocracy
Now that I have a steady job and a gym membership is in my near future, I'll be looking into this.
Re: Fitocracy
I want to do Tough Mudder so bad. But if I did it any time soon, I would die. I have a soft goal of maybe doing one towards the end of the year and if not, a firm goal of doing it next year.
Matt, if you want an invite, I can send you one.

Re: Fitocracy
One of my coworkers has been training for Tough Mudder. He's in quite good shape but has confided that he can't swim and seems bafflingly unconcerned about this.
As for myself, fuck that.

Re: Fitocracy
Brian: Sure, why not; I'm sure I can come up with a workout I can do from home.

It's my understanding that the water obstacles are optional. For his sake, I hope so.
