CCIE Pounds refers to the weight that you gain while study­ing for the CCIE lab exam. Given that:

  • hours spent lab­bing or reading,
  • the com­fort eating
  • close prox­im­ity to the fridge,
  • sub­con­scious study avoid­ance (SSA)

its not sur­pris­ing that many people gain a lot of weight.

    I resemble that remark! All the more reason to not stretch out your CCIE stud­ies for mul­tiple years.

  2. Tim says:

    I have some o’ those pounds as well. Hoping to start on the “no more lab” exer­cise plan soon. Or the “new digits” weight train­ing pro­gram. Something more fun than dream­ing in debug.….……

  3. Tim says:

    Well, I guess I have to dream about debug crypto isakmp some more and put on more pounds. I freak­ing FAILED again. TIRED of this crap. Oh well, no more open dates till after v3.0 comes out in April.

    Well, good luck to those of you tak­ing it soon. I am still shocked that my 3rd attempt had the highest dif­fi­culty levels. Ouch.
