re: What goals are you going for?

Take two medicine balls (12 pounds each), put my hands onto them and go into frog pose and then transition into a handstand. I’m almost there. I have a vid of me failing on an attempt and I might post that.

Sub 3:30 marathon
Sub 1:30 half marathon
100 mile ultra
Compete in first Crossfit competition
Do ring muscle up
Do actual ring L sit for 30 sec
350+ DL

160 pounds which should put me at ~10%. Then maintenance for a while because this shite is starting to really suck.

I'm in my late 30s and still have a high metabolism. Guess I'm blessed with good genetics.

Also, 24% BF at 230 is 55 lbs of fat. If you shed 12 lbs of nothing but fat in your cut phase (impossible) to drop to 218, your BF is still at ~20%

I still see my abs, so I'm probably below 20% BFP. My goal was to be under 25% while gaining.

Hanging?

whatever this is called



I'm just not flexible enough right now

Goals for 2019..... I want to keep it simple. Increase strength and endurance while cutting body fat. Not easy and don't expect massive changes due to current BF% and strength levels but I have a process and we shall see how it goes.

I have the outline of a 6 pack. I'm not going to lie and say I'm not carrying some fat and it's not sharp, but I can see an outline.

Sharpening up my abs tends to be when the vein really pops out. I can get vascularity without being super ripped, though. I have a noticeable bicep vein, and I don't claim under 12-18% bodyfat.

Holding myself up isn’t the problem

It’s keeping my legs straight out

Do my first Full Ironman in about 10 hours 30 minutes in May, then try to go sub 10 in November.

I've never really had goals but luckily have been more than satisfied with my personal health/fitness. I guess my ultimate goal is to be able to play my favorite sports as long as possible without significant drop off.

I may use this thread as a reminder to follow through on new habits that I think can provide additional benefit, such as:

1. Guzzle 8 oz of water 1st thing in the morning, along with at least 4 oz every hour (in addition to sipping it throughout day).
2. Full set of stretches at least every other day.
3. Short naps (25-45 min) at least 3x/week, which is usually on the days I bring my lunch to work and can get a cat nap in my office.
4. At least once/weekend, put my phone away for 8 hours and do not look at it.
5. Continue to find ways to improve eye health, such as taking breaks from the computer at work and reducing amount of time looking at phone. Get the more thorough eye exam in 2019 with the X-ray image.
