2012 goals….?

December 21, 2011 — 5 Comments

I’ve never set yearly goals before. I’ve done short term goals: like 300lb bench, 30 pull-ups, etc…but year long goals not so much. So I am gonna try it this year.

I would absolutely love to do a bodyweight turkish getup. I weigh 200, but think I’ll be down to 190 this year-I don’t know if the 2 knee injuries I had this year was due to excessive travel, tight hips, less than optimal diet, or bad luck-but maybe being a little lighter will help. Currently I can do 150 on TGU’s on the right side without hesitation, and about 125 on the left. Plan is to just TGU often, with different things often.

10 Strict ring muscle ups, front lever, back lever. I just bought rings and will be traveling with them, so I think this’ll be “easy”.

20 consecutive wall muscle ups.  This is harder than you’d think: yes you can use your feet, but you have no real grip. It’s really tough.

Human flag. It’s just cool.

5k barefoot without calf/achilles soreness. I wore ankle braces from 17-27 every time I played basketball….and I never ran.  So my lower leg “stuff” needs lots of work, and I get ridiculously sore in a mile of bare footing…so I’m making a concerted effort to get that stronger.

Better swimmer. Just need to do it. nike. ugh.

Handstand mastery. It’s a useless skill but it pisses me off I can’t do it well.

No knee injury. Hurting each knee this year was pretty annoying.

So what are your goals?
