Your fitness goals for 2020

[JimRussel]

Been way too many ups and downs over the years and it really isn’t good for your system.

That’s why you just stay swole.

That’s why you just stay swole.

I’m always swole - it’s just sometimes that swoleness is hidden by a cuddly exterior

I said swole, not swollen, brah

 

[spdrew2143]

No I’m some so unhealthy currently that you could probably flick me and if pass out

"I'm gonna beat yo ass if I see you around! But not right now, later, cause I'm not feeling well."

 

[spdrew2143]

Actually, I hope you dont have any major health issues. Guessing you have a case of the sniffles?

I just want to go back to my former strength levels of late last year. Max bench was 110kg but now I can't go over 60kg without wrist pain.

 

[spdrew2143]

Lofty, but I like your first sentence.

 

[JimRussel]

The sad part is that I very much likely outlift you in every PL lift and I dont even care about it.

There are athletes and there are powerlifters.

...

Deadlift 5 x 500
Bench 5 x 315
Squat 5 x 405
Press 5 x 185
Pull Ups 5 x BW(210)+90
5K in 20 mins
Be able to go 80% for 10 x 3 mins rounds in Boxing.

Lol suspect.

 

[Shadiata]

Total 180kg+ at Masters Nationals (Olympic WL) as an 81kg 50-54 age Male

Competed two weeks ago and totaled 175kg with more in the tank. Snatch 73kg, C&J 102kg. Went 6 for 6 and this was a 7kg meet PR. I'd love to shoot for 77/78 and 105 in April.

Main goal - train smart and don't get hurt. Also, snatches - catch lower

 

[SpaceGinger]

Add 8kg of mass. Unsure if this could potentially be lean muscle or if I'd be dreamin'. Either way I just wanna be stronger and a healthier weight.

Stick with BJJ and get a few stripes on my white belt. No delusions here, I know it's gonna be a long road to blue belt.

That shit's weak bro, are you in your 50's?

8kg of muscle is 17.5lbs. You might be able to put on that much weight but not muscle. A nobbie lifter with great genetics might be able to put on 10lbs of muscle in the first year, if you're intermediate, forget about it.

 

[Ultra O’Dia]

200lbs overhead on my axle bar and 20minutes or under on my 5k, same day.

obviously you are quite strong. How far off are you right now? I’m especially interested in your five k time.

 

[TeTe]

Thought i'd be fun to share our goals and look back on theme next year.

Current:
5ft10
175-178lbs
About 12%BF

Goals:
Get stronger, more flexible and explosive.
180+lbs at the same body fat
Work on my lef arm that was neglected due to wrist injury
Get better at pull up's
Work on my overall striking and wrestling technique

You're close to me. I'm 5'10" and 185, about 18 percent BF though. My end goal is 12 percent bf but be about 190-200 lbs. I feel it's achievable without juicing. But not realistic at 40 to do this year or the next. As long as I progress, I'm happy. I've been lifting consistently for about ten years but not serious while I was boxing cause I didn't want to put on too much weight. Now that I'm out of that game, I've been going pretty hard over the past two years. Really need to dial it in.

 

[deadshot138]

700lbs squat and deadlift, 500lbs bench

TRT is always an option, im a bit different, im gonna turn 20 soon so im still not in prime years yet, but im probably never gonna get much over 180lbs just cuz i also want to stay athletic and fast, which is kinda hard to do when you're that heavy at my height. But srs tho, TRT is a great from what i hear, no real negatives to it, except for the cost.
