I think I've convinced him that he needs to rethink his dietary lifestyle. Time will tell.
TR - What is acceptable tonnage for a 21 year old at 5'6"? I advised him that he might not make it by the fall and he should be ready to go into overtime if that's the case. He wasn't happy but he did accept reality. --Nevermind, I saw the link on another thread, 170 lbs max.
My main concern was I was doing him harm by loosing that much weight in that short period of time. Getting lean sounds like a good idea, I need to research that.
Thanks

Army says that at 66", 21-27 years old, he can weight no more than 163 without taking a tape test for body fat computation.
I hope he has a tiny waist and a huge neck for a square guy, because I doubt that he would pass the tape at 180.
If you can get him into shape, great, I just don't see him being SF material with that little self-control.
I have been wrong before though.
