*** 2013 goals thread ***

[hawaii]

I'm still workin on 2011 goals

all at <=175lbs bodyweight
power clean 265
hbbs 365
fs 330
deadlift 440
military press 215
incline 300
30 pullups / +145lb chinup
push press 265

I really haven't made much progress this year. That's what I get for always switching up my goals/programming.

i dunno about that zero progress business :dro:

my PC went up ~20lbs and my incline bench went up a lot because I made it my main horizontal press. Everything else is where I was for a long time and in the case of the pullups, regressed a ton.

I spent a lot of this year getting lean then I just fukked up and got fat again in the last 2 months I also had various/reoccurring injuries, but this is about as healthy as I've been in ~10 months. Sticking with 5/3/1 should help me stay healthy.

Basically been spinning my wheels for 2 years . I gotttttta do better in 2013 . If I switch programs, I need yall to call me a morAn.

Yea I have kind of been stuck for ~2 or so years too. Hardest thing is to figure out what you want and how to get it.

Initially I was doing 1 body part/day with really heavy deads/squats mixed in once a week. I was on some anti-iso shyt I got strong but didn't build much mass.

Eventually I switched to PHAT, which worked for a while but eventually wiped me out neurally/mentally. Tried to do a "4 day PHAT" and it was still fukking crazy.

Breaking point was really the pain I started to feel when I hit 405 on deads. I just stopped doing them and things have been much better. This year also had a lot of events... I got married + went on a honeymoon and had a lot of stressful events. So there were a lot of pauses and injuries.

Now I have a routine I like which isn't bothering me much... diet is alright gains wise (need to turn it up health wise). Next year I just want to keep things consistent and keep growing. I don't think I am gonna do a full on cut because I don't know if I will be strong enough by summer... I might slow things down bulkwise though and focus on cardio. Maybe just do a little trim cut but nothing drastic. Other than that

Plateaued the last few months. Been stuck at PRs on squats, dls, mitary, bench, rows. I'd like to switch up routines and maybe bust thru these. I know a lot of it has to do w my diet, lack of sleep and the booze. It's really hard w a kid now too. I'm hoping to get a bit more focused though. Def gonna check out that 531 you suggested when I get back from Miami.

if you are at a plateau try moving down in weight about 20% for all your exercises. do them with higher than usual reps and better form. do this for about 2 weeks then go back to heavy and see if u can beat PR.

Great combo, if anything I learn faster, when I hit up the gym on a regular basis during the school semester.

Especially before a big final or working on a research project

I'll literally do a set, then by like / that's what the professor meant. That was deep

I agree breh, last semester this supplement called "lipo-6" got me through class smh.. I wasnt hitting the gym that much but when I went I used that shyt to get me hyped to lift. I noticed that my energy and focus was through the roof when I took it! I felt unstoppable! So I started taking it before class and I was hella alert I stopped taking it now that class is over, I just hope im not dependent on that shyt
