I am the poster man-child for flabby and somewhat-lazy (though I prefer to medicalize the latter with claims of EDS barely held in check by modafinil.)
Johnny Storm, aka, the Human Torch in Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, used to have a catch phrase: Flame On! which he would spiritedly cry out right before igniting.
Perhaps, armed with my new borrowed and arguably slightly oversized B70 at Colony Zones this year, you will hear a similar catch phrase being emitted from whatever block I have waddled my way up upon: Flab On!
I shall cry out this, in both pride and hope, before beginning a half-assed effort in the pool, en route, perchance, to a new PR in every lackadaisical swim I attempt!
PS to Leslie: It seens you have been taking a certain refuge in the notion that B70s hope most those who are big and fat, conferring relatively less advantage to, say, perfectly chiseled weight-lifting minxes who top out at 5' 4". This may be true, but I remain far from convinced. Theoretically, at least, once could argue precisely the opposite: that smaller, lighter swimmers have higher surface to volume ratios than us tub 'o lard bowling balls. Since the suit smooths the surface and (in the case of the B70, I am convinced, if not some of the others) adds float, then there is reason to believe you magnificent might-mites might indeed benefit more.
Regardless, now that I have joined the B70 Flabulous Bandwagon, in my mind if not yet in actual practice (still awaiting BillS's reply re: shipping info), I don't care how much it helps anybody else.
I just want it to help me, me, me!
