Since the more sedentary folks (Jim not included) got butt hurt over fitbit, what about those fitbits? What types of goals do ya'll have set on yours?

My wife just got an Alta that I'm setting up for her now. I personally don't see the point but for someone needing external motivation, I can see it's beneifts.

To each there own I suppose, I for one think it's pretty sweet being able to see how many calories I burn during a workout, run, or bike. Also being able to train in certain zones, fat burn, cardio etc. I don't get too hung up on steps or anything like that, more concerned with HR and calories.

I'll be posting a Fitbit surge for sale if you are interested?

For anyone interested in Starting Strength, they've got an awesome app now. Much better than any other app for SS or SL5x5.

It's Irving back again with more performance goals that are only tangentially related to this thread.

I can occasionally bust out a good hand stand. Today I smashed all previous records by walking 54'7" on my hands. It's one of those exercises that you don't realize how much it takes out of you until several minutes later.

I don't think I'll ever be a guy who can just rock pull-ups all day. I think my arms are too long. I think 11 is the most I've ever done. I did try a few weighted ones the other day. That was pretty fun. How much weight are we talking about? I tried 24lbs just because it's what I had laying around, knowing it was way too much.

I would do a pyramid type thing, usually start with 15-20 un weighted pull ups, then add a little weight and do as many as I could with said weight, usually 6 sets or so, ending with 30 lbs and 4-6 reps. I think a 40lb dumbbell was the most I ever used. Now dips on the other hand, that was like +75lbs, if I can ever get that strong again, i'll be happy.

I'm much more capable with dips than pull-ups.
