Either that or they have lifted the ban on men in drag participating in the Mini Marathon.

26, F, and like I say; your house...just biding my time.

bigstar · 08-07-2009 03:53PM

get to 80kg in 12 months.

lift wise:
150kg squat
100kg bench
150kg deadlift

if i could get close to those by xmas i might think about a competition, dunno about those singlets though.

long term id love a +180kg squat.

other goals with no real time frame are compete in both a marathon and tri. i keep putting them off but theyre not forgotten.

brianthebard · 08-07-2009 04:13PM

I'd kill for a bodyweight bench atm.
The main goal right now is not to get injured again, making good progress and don't want to lose that.
a 500kg total of some sort would be my overall lifting goal for the next 6-12 months, currently 75+135+160=370, long way to go.
To be able to do a pull up unassisted first, then 10 pull/chin ups in one go would be another two goals.

podge57 · 08-07-2009 04:24PM

short term - squat 180kg by my 20th birthday (next month) - should do this fairly easily
go at least 10 games without conceding a goal - number 6 2moro

(gaelic football btw)

longer term:
600kg raw total early next year
200kg+ squat " "
maybe get into equipped lifting

dont really have any goals for 12+ months away

Remmy · 08-07-2009 05:39PM

I want to eventually be able to do a handstand pushup then later 10 in a row.Ive never even tried to do one but they look really difficult.the same goes roughly with pullups.

I want to stick to my program rigidly for the next two years.Then I can look back and see where Im at.

i'll think you'll find that particular game has been ongoing since the dawn of time!!

You know you want to get fat again!!

tribulus · 08-07-2009 06:03PM

1)Fix my shoulder/scapula once and for all - currently making progress on this.

2)Fix my ankle which still isn't healed fully since I injured it in April - when my knee tracks forward it hurts...bad. I don't want to stop football training though as the team is a lot more competitive this season and running doesn't seem to aggravate it.

3) Related to #2, get back squatting. I had posted on another boards forum that I wanted to squat 180kg before September too. That isn't going to happen now so I'll accept simply regularly squatting again.

4) Also mentioned before about running 5K in 18mins. I revised that down to 3miles (4.8K) as it fits my route easier and was actually the intended distance, I just used a rough conversion. I ran 5K in 20mins 24secs in April so this goal should fall before September too.

That's a huge amount of time to shave off before September man! Massive kudos if you do it.

tribulus · 08-07-2009 06:12PM

Well I haven't tested it recently but I've pre-season football training 3x week (or 2x training and 1x match) now as well as out running once a week so considering that and the fact the distance I'll be doing is 200m less I reckon I have a chance!

LightningBolt · 08-07-2009 09:25PM

5k in 18mins would be pretty nice if youre carrying a bit of weight.

I'll just be happy to drop down to 100k by end of September and be able to fit all my suits in time for work. Really not looking forward to having to shell out for 3 new ones in October.

If I can keep up my training the way I am currently I'll be a happy boy!

BossArky · 09-07-2009 10:04AM

My goals are the same as those I set at the beginning of the year (new years resolutions). They are conservative enough (with the exception of pull ups). I am confident of meeting them if I get a decent run of training with no more work travels.

Bench 100kg (current = 90kg)

Deadlift 150kg (current = 132kg)

Squat 125kg (current = 110kg)

Weight 75kg (current = 76kg)

Pull Ups 20 (current = 14). This will be the hardest. Realistically any progress between 14 and 20 will be good.

oh forgot my most important goal, beat bossarky

We're fairly dead even on these lifts now, wanna race? :P Though I am a couple kilos heavier.

I have no doubt that when you are 28 like moi (in 12 years?!) you will have surpassed me by light years.

I'm following the 5/3/1 programme which should get me to my goals by year end, fingers crossed... so I'm not exactly "racing". ... but yeah, you're on

cardio,shoot me · 10-07-2009 10:46AM

12 years yea, but your dedication is scary.

metamorphosis · 10-07-2009 01:36PM

Do the Frank Duffy 10 miler in August

The half mara in September

And then all going well the full mara in October

rainbow kirby · 11-07-2009 11:55PM

Main goal: Finish the Dublin Marathon, hoping for sub-4:30 but will be happy with sub-5.

Other goals: Get down to 60kg (67.5 right now), 5 miles in under 45 minutes, 10k in under 55 minutes, 10 miles in below 1:35, half-marathon under 2:10. I would eventually like a sub-2 hour half-marathon, but under 2:10 in September would make me a very happy camper.

Motivation: Shermanator

Goals: Ladies

Enemies: Stifler

G-Money · 12-07-2009 10:42AM

I'm currently 242 lbs which is about 17.5 stone. I want to get down to between 11 and 12 stone by the end of March next year which gives me about 9 months which I guess is about a 5-6 stone weight loss.

I also could do with ending this never ending dry spell that I'm suffering. Slightly off topic fitness wise, but still a goal.

A: 6 Pullups, currently 1.75
B: Make Roper tap, currently a long way off
C: 250kg Deadlift, currently 220 this is do-able with better techniqueand more strength :pac:

ladowack · 13-07-2009 04:45PM

Goals 2009/10
220kg no-no-no squat before I'm 30 (28 now) (210 belted currently)
170kg bench before I'm 30 (145 at the mo)
260kg deadlift (230 currently)
All above at <100kg (116kg at the moment)

amacachi · 13-07-2009 04:54PM

Since I finally got money sorted I'll be hittin the gym at the end of the week.
Starting from nothing now I'd like to be hitting by this time next year:
110kg bodyweight (130-135 right now.)
Bodyweight bench.
150kg squat.
Mile in under 9 minutes, which is fairly pathetic, but would be a massive improvement.

You could walk a mile in under 9 mins. You could try walk 1 min, jog 1 min repeating for ten mins to build up some jogging endurance. Change it to walk 1.5 mins, jog 1.5 mins the next week and you'll be there in no time. It doesnt matter how slow the jog is, it will still work.

Baldie · 14-07-2009 09:07AM

Within the next 6 - 8 months. I'd like to do the following:

Squat: 160kg (Currently 130kg)
Bench Press: 120kg (Currently 100kg)
Deadlift: 160kg (Currently 130kg)
Shoulder Press: 70kg (Currently 55kg)

Reasonable enough goals I think. Nothing to far fetched....

I currently weigh 84kg. Probably want to get that up to about 90kg.
