I'm six feet, 150lbs. I'm using a metal bar in my closet as a pull-up bar. I don't know my body fat percentage, but it's probably pretty low. I'm skinny, but I've always been in approximately average shape. I was born prematurely so I don't have all the muscles most people do, they didn't have time to develop. Consequently I've always looked like I'm in much worse shape than I am.
I have no real training history. All physical activity I've done has been stuff like hiking and playing backyard football and wrestling with friends and whatnot. I have a physical job, but it's seasonal so I don't really do much in the winter (I changed that this winter).
I guess you could say I'm fit and skinny but weak. That's a tough call though because most people wouldn't describe me as weak.
I don't really know when I want to achieve the goal...the sooner the better I guess, but I don't lack patience. I don't want to use supplements and what not. Joining the military isn't a real goal right now. Being in shape is, and having the knowledge that if I decide to join I'll be in good enough shape to do well without killing myself seems like a good thing. I've found that I've been able to push myself to do most workouts I've been asked to or have asked myself to do.
I'm neither fitness buff nor couch potato.
Thanks for your reply!
