Did I miss anyone?

Anyway, let's use this thread to repost out goals. Let's try to keep the thread nice and clean. If you have any questions or comments about someone's goals, please use the other thread, or start a new one. Does that sound okay to everyone? Also, let's try and stay accountable here. I will post a weekly check in thread. Check in as often as you can, just to show that you are still on board.

Good luck everyone! Here's to reaching our goals and getting closer to our fitness dreams.:beer:
 
My Goals:

1) Lose 2-3% bf
2) Increase my core excercises by 20 pounds.
3) Alternate 3 HIIT and 2 regular cardio days each week:
week 1: 3 days regular cardio, 2 days HIIT
week 2: 2 days regular, 3 days HIIT
4) Stick to a good diet and not deviate from it.
 
Goals:

1. Lose 2% BF
2. Increase squat by 50lbs for 5 reps - Squat is currently 95lbs. (Just stopped using the Smith machine and had to decrease the lbs by quite a bit).
3. Lose another inch off my waist (high and low) and hips. Forgot to bring current measurements... will edit this when I get home.
4. Decrease skinfold on thigh from 30 to 27

My goal is to gain 10 ibs of lbm, with no increase in bodyfat. Whew, that's a tough one for a 6 weeker. One of the other guys had that same goal didn't he?
 
....guess I found the g-spot...err sticky I mean...
 
I've been such a slug recently, so most of my goals are behavioral instead of physical (although of course, one follows the other).

Lose 10 lbs
which requires me to do the following:

Stick to diet
I may start a thread somewhere around here - probably the journal page - about what I ate. The idea scares me, so I think that's a good thing.

Stick to training schedule
I have a baaad habit of skipping training when I'm busy or 'tired.' I lift 4x/week so there are approximately 24 training days in 6 weeks. I'm going to challenge myself to not skip more than 3. (I just can't train the first 2 days of my period, so I need to build in some 'down time.')

Stop skipping cardio
Whether moderate or intense, I USUALLY skip my cardio workouts. Bad girl. I'm going to challenge myself to do some form of cardio 3x a week, at least. So, that will be at least 18 cardio sessions.
 
Goals:

1. To make a sincere effort to maintain a consistant routine over the next few weeks.

2. Stick to a better diet.

3. Loose about 10 pounds of bodyfat.

4. Blow up new Taco Bell just built right next door. If its not there it will curb my temptation to eat those fuckin Chalupas.

5. Think of more goals.
 
Forgot to post measurements for my 3rd goal:

3. Lose another inch off my waist (high and low) and hips.

High Waist: 25 3/4"
Low Waist: 31 1/2"
Hips: 34 1/2"
 
Goals for 6wk Challenge:
1. Lose 15lbs.
2. Increase Leg Press by 75lbs.
3. Increase Squat by 30lbs w/o re-injuring my back.
4. Stick firmly to CKD.
5. Figure out routine to balance gym around nights when I have class.

Stats as of 7/28:
160lbs @ 5'7"
Waist: 34"
Leg Press: 205lbs
Squat: 70lbs
 
Hey I want to join too

Goals in 6 weeks:

Flat Dumbells: 115 x 8
Flat Bench: 295 x 1
Squat: 305 x 10
Deadlift: 500 x 1
Pullup: +90 x 3
Rack Deadlift: 535 x 1
 
rev, what are you currently doing on those? On the rack deads, what is your range of motion? If you are doing half deads, (bar just bellow the knees) you should be able to do at least 100 ibs over your FOM deadlift. For example, I've done 615 for a single, but have done reps with 725 in the rack. Anyway, just curious how much of a difference you are shooting for with the new lifts. Good luck.
 
body, the bar is about halfway between my ankle an dmy shin. I do it on the last pin of powerrack, standing on 2 45 lb plates. Pretty strong back bro you have. I deadlift 455, so shooting close to 80 lb over
 
Rev, how long have you been doing them? You'll be surprised how much strength you can gain in a couple months doing partial deadlifts. I think you'll be able to do alot more than 80 ibs over by the end of the six weeks. I'd shoot for 585-600. I think you can do it. The weight is just in your head. Its only a number. Tell yourself that on you way to the gym each day when you are going doing the half deads. It will help.
 
Correction: just noticed that my start weight was 191, so I'm actually up 3 pounds :). I don't think it's all water weight, either, cause I had to get up and pee like 3 times last night ;)
 
Goals -

1. Lose as much Bodyfat as possible.
2. Keep as much muscle as possible.
3. Try not to lose much strength.

Ok revised goals for 12 weeks instead of 6:

1. Lose 4% BF
2. Increase squat by 60lbs for 5 reps - Squat is currently 95lbs. (Just stopped using the Smith machine and had to decrease the lbs by quite a bit).
3. Same. Lose another inch off my waist (high and low) and hips. Currently:
High Waist: 25 3/4"
Low Waist: 31 1/2"
Hips: 34 1/2"
4. Decrease skinfold on thigh from 30 to 26.
 
Okay, here are the somehwhat vague goals I have for the next 10 weeks (since I'm starting 2 weeks late!).
1. Get back into some old pants! (I'm close, just a little more!).
2. Increase my upper body strength and definition.
3. Perform 2 cardio sessions per day for 5-6 days per week. One pre breakfast another after weights.
4. Stick with a clean diet. Abstain from restricting food intake too low...then bingeing and purging. :(
 
You'll probably have better success if you set more concrete goals.

E.g., for #2, how much do you want to increase your bench or squat by (or whatever exercises)? #4 - What does a clean diet mean? One dessert per week only? Less than xxx calories per day? Etc.
 
I knew someone was going to say that! :)
I was actually thinking that as I was typing, but just wanted to go ahead and put something down. So here's a revision:

I would like to be able to be able to complete:
- 8 unassisted pullups
- 8-35 lb dumbbell shoulder presses
- 8-80 lb lat pulldowns
- 8-40 lb DB chest presses
- 8-30 lb DB bicep curls
- 15 unassisted dips

As far as diet goes, my plan is to stick to a very basic "clean" diet. As in no simple sugars, fast food, etc. This is usually not a problem. In fact I'm a little too good sometimes. Meaning, I am sometimes overly restrictive with myself and end up bingeing and purging :sick: I am aiming for a 40:30:30 split ( or something close to that ), which to me seems very balanced and not too restrictive. I have to be careful with the diet or I tend to revert to my old, disordered eating habits. Also, as far as calories goes, I am working on very slowly increasing them , as I have restricted them severly in the past and am trying to get them to a level that matches my activity level and will enable me to achieve my goals (leaness!).
 
Those are not really lightweight goals. Have you been training for awhile or are you new to lifting?

For 10 weeks, that would be crqzy progress for someone who just started lifting (unless you can already do a bunch of weight).
 
Yeah, I have been lifting for a while and I am relatively strong. Most of those goal weights are about 10 pounds more than what I do presently. To ambitious?
 
is it too late to join in?

1- I want my deadlift to be greater than my weight.
2 - I want to do wide lat pulls that are nearer to my weight and
3 - I want to do smith shoulder presses of 90 lbs [I do 60 with a barbell, I hope this is reasonable]
4 - Given that there's 2 birthdays, and thanksgiving and halloween... I will also add in the 'eat clean' goal [hell, I did it last year with a splenda carrot birthday cake and it was yummy!!]
5 - hack squat 300
6 - lose ten pounds of unwanted fat from my summer vacation
