Goi's Fitness Forum

alright so i've thought about it.

after seeing my friend yesterday at the Mr Carinhill bodybuilding compeition, it was very inspiring, and i would like to try it, at least once.

so for the whole of next year, i most probably would be doing something that will let me shed fat, add some muscle etc.

well i'm joining just for experience and fun with friends. so i won't go crazy about it. haha

other things i would like to achieve.

a good free handstand. for about 1 minute hopefully, if not 30secs would suffice.

free handstand pushups

get 20 dips on rings(currently i can't even do 10 properly on bar)

get 20pullups. bar to chest(currently 11, bar to chin)

get muscleups

get free pistols easily, i can't do them unless i'm freaking warmed up or feel really good.

well i have the whole year so i'm going big on this

140kg squat(current 100)

180kg deadlift(current 150+)

i totally gave up on bench. so yea. haha

100kg clean and jerk, gotta work on the jerk 1st though, not good technique, may end up killing me instead.

70kg snatch. but this one needs work with technique.

40kg weighted pullup.

be healthy. this is the most important.

Thats about it for my training goals. i could do without the deadlift squat snatch and pullup, but they are nice to have.

My non training goals would be : finally going to school early, not going late again.

Get some new clothes

Save more money so i don't complain about not having money. >_>

Make more friends

Get closer to the current ones i have. aka spend more time with all of them.

Help friends with their goals

SO! WHATS YOURS!?

my goal in 2009 is to remain alive, staying healthy.

my biz in 2009 wont flop.

as for body, nothing actually, want to make my body even lower maintenance, training once a week can maintain the weight and bf%, currently is twice a week. no more than 50 min each training.

Here are some of my Goals for 2009(subject to changes along the way)
:
Strength
-to complete all 3 events in Strongman
- to reach DL >2x BW and maintain
-squat at least 1.5x BW

Physique
-visible abs but not skinny
-prominent arm definition underneath t-shirt( like relaxed also can see the bicep shape...something like tt)
-cover model physique...big enough for M to be more fitting at the arm and chest can liao

NAPFA
Full Marks
Situps: >42
SBJ: >251
Sit-and-reach: >48 I think
Shuttle Run: 9.0
pullup: need >10 to get A but the more the merrier, 30 in 30s would be good LOL
2.4km Run: <9 min? Dunno if this is feasible because I hope to maintain my DL and squat strength but aiming for A at least and i heard tt it's very hard to be great at both 2.4 and SBJ

Academic(This is most important I guess)
-2 "A"s 2 "B"s for A levels

Social( okay actually this is the one that bothers me the most =x)
-become more sociable, or rather less socially awkward
-become more confident as a person, less insecure and oversensitive
-get used to being alone and eating alone in school, and going home alone; and feel less insecure about that
-(maybe) get used to having to pack my own food to sch and find some way to eat it secretly outside the cafe without getting caught by teachers
-stop comparing with my peers about how much "better-off" socially they may appear to be
-stay true to who I really am and what I believe in
-care less about others' opinions
-edit*: TRY my best to stare less at ppl who seem to be giving me weird stares and even start saying hello to ppl tt i've stopped saying hi to( nt sure if this is weird LOL)

hey, good goals

below 9min 2.4 is amazing. hope you achieve that

why need to eat secretly outside? just eat in cafe cannot meh? say no money la, parents cannot afford you to eat in sch. haha

<9min 2.4? time to join us for 300!

lol i think my sch got soccer players can do 7min+ O.O but ah below 9min just something for me to think about la...cos I'm someone who hates jogging and conditioning(bad at it) so ah it would be a challenge to run in tt timing. I think if 2.4 gd, SBJ gd, shuttle run gd, plus can DL 2x squat 1.5xBW like tt it's quite all-rounded to me...lol..

eat secretly cos I'd rather not eat alone in cafe( if i have the choice to) and i don't want to have to keep finding ppl from other classes to sit with...

anw i forgot to include pullup goal lol...go edit now

7+ mins thats cos they are SOCCER PLAYERS!

Jordon wrote:7+ mins thats cos they are SOCCER PLAYERS!

well yeah i heard their training is crazy de...super tough...run 30 rounds around the 400m track for warmup

anyway I just thought it would be interesting to see if i can achieve it while training other attributes too...i think tt would be a good thing for my CCA too lol

do crossfit lor. so zai they all haha

NOn training goals:
eh, be a tuition teacher or relieve teacher before i go army.
get a girl friend ( not that kind u all think of ok, decent one).
get my SAR 66 aircraft( currently got SAR7) maintenance basic license while i'm still in army.




training goals(dont know can or not cos serving NS.):
Military press my BW.
one arm pull up
human flag
muscle up
handstand walk
climb rope using 2 hands.

You go NS next time,sure got those bengs/hokkien pengs who smoke a lot but can run 7mins without much training.

I am sure many of us can attest to such a phenomenon.

they every day pia zui, sell illegal vcd, police come must run mah, every day is training

-Gain 5kg of lean mass and maintain
-Get stronger for every lift

-learn to tolerate idiots in my class

I think someone should do a scientific study on this really interesting phenomenon,maybe ask the SSC sports science people to commission a project based on this.

Anyway,my main fitness goals which I set myself the next 6 months to attain

front squat 5x3x145kg
deadlift 3x3x230kg
log clean and strict press 5x3x90kg

while in control of the weight i.e can do each set of 5x3x145kg without making it look like an all out 3RM.

I don't care about 1RM anymore,but I still care about (setxrep)max
