Obviously goals always change, right now my goals are to obtain the following

600 pound deadlift
450 pound squat
315 bench
225 snatch
300 Clean & Jerk
10 unbroken muscle-ups
200 unbroken double-unders
50 foot handstand walk

And basically just more consistent with my diet. I eat extremely clean probably 5 days a week. The other 2 days are terrible though. It's not that bad because I'm very active but I'd like to limit myself to only 1-2 bad meals a week plus alochol on weekends instead of 1-2 whole days of massive amounts of alochol and terrible foods

Nailed it with this one. I need a better diet and need to exercise more. I'm 6'2" 210 lbs. In no way am I fat but I'd like to be more tone. I need a fitness guru to give me a diet and work out plan.

Not becoming morbidly obese.

I find it relatively easy when you realize there will always be enough food to eat.

I want to get my weight under 200. I weigh 220 right now, but I started at 260. So not bad so far.

Not true. It just takes a lot of work. Very dedicated diet and training. I had a really good six pack without using steroids, and I'm not a genetic freak at all. Then I went off the deep end for 2 months and lost it working on getting it back

Currently 6', 230 lbs

Would like to be 195ish and cut

Just getting into a good routine of exercise and eating right (on my 3rd week). I'm focusing on losing body fat and gaining functional strength + muscle definition, but not necessarily muscle "size".

Reason for getting in shape, other than health and aesthetics, is I ran a tough mudder and enjoyed it immensely, but I was/am so out of shape that I barely finished and was utterly exhausted from the start. Needed help getting through some of the more physically demanding obstacles. I want to run one at a good pace and clear all the obstacles on my own.

I've been slowly adding to my workout routine. Currently it is as follows:

Morning Workout:
M,T,Th,Fr - run/jog 1 mile, set of pushups (25), set of dumbbell squats (35 lbs each hand x 12 squats).

Evening workout 1 (M,W,Fr):
run/jog 25 minutes (currently get to 1.7 miles), 2x sets pushups (20 each), 2x sets Turkish Getups (5x reps, 25 lb kettlebell), 2x sets kettlebell curl / kettlebell shoulder press (25 lb bell, 10 reps)

Evening Workout 2 (T,Th):
run/jog 25 minutes, 2x sets burpees (10x reps), 2x sets dumbell rows (40 lbs, 10reps), 2x sets deltoid raises (12 reps, 15 lbs)

I swap days of evening workout 1 and 2 each week.

Would like to add chinups, pull ups, dips, and hanging knee raises to these routines.

Diet is typical high protien, high fiber, low carb (especially after lunch).

1. My wife and I are slowly working towards a 10k+ in every state. We started out with the idea of HMs, but I dont have that in me.

2. Stay in better shape than my kids for as long as possible.

3. Live till 100

4. Complete a Half Ironman. Im still waffling on this one some. I have trained for a few sprints and started a HIM program and just cant budget the time well right now.

For the record, I have accomplished your 3. Not trying to brag, but looking at your list, I was shocked to half done those. All thanks to Crossfit.

Cue Crossfit bashing and gifs in 3, 2, 1.....
