2007 Improvement Challenge

Cardinal · 03-04-2007, 12:30 PM

Most recent lifts

Squat 275x3x5 (pr)
DL 385x1 (not even close to a par)
Bench 240x5

Arms: > 17" (started ~16.5")

Planning 8-10 day diet starting 3-9-07. Will be something like PSMF. That will pretty much tell me what has happened over the last couple of months in terms of bodyrecomp on Tren.

fufu · 03-04-2007, 01:11 PM

Making progress!

Little Wing · 03-04-2007, 08:43 PM

I second this.....there's no way I can get anywhere near my goal with my knee and thigh all banged up.

fufu · 03-05-2007, 11:03 AM

I suppose.

Update your journal foo!

I wanna see:

Squat: 405 x 1
Bench: 315 x 1
Deadlift: 495 x 1

Son!

fufu · 03-19-2007, 03:38 PM

Well, I have been off the heavy squatting and deadlifting for a good month because of a glute/back injury, but today I finally made a good step forward. Let's see if I can nail that 375 squat by goal time. The 245 bench should be on its way soon with out too much hassle, just got to take my time.

Also - right knee is feeling loads better. One of my goals was to fix that, so that's good.

Little Wing · 03-28-2007, 09:18 PM

^

i can't even imagine what a glute injury feels like

fufu · 03-28-2007, 10:30 PM

Thanks for the support LW.

It is like a deep tissue thing going on. Somethings really tight in there and I can fix it if I keep up a good regimine of hour long stretching per day, but at school it is harder to manage.

BigDyl · 04-11-2007, 08:38 PM

And the loser is....

Uthinkso · 04-12-2007, 08:36 PM

I'm certainly not taking home any prize packs

JOHNYORK · 04-13-2007, 12:28 AM

i wanna touch rim. beginning of june might not be good but by end of june if training keeps up i should be able too. i train for max power so itll be a good test if my training is going well.

JOHNYORK · 04-13-2007, 12:29 AM

im only 5'7 4got 2 mention.

end of june sounds good. i think i'm motivated enough to quit frigging around now that the snow has FINALLY left.

Don't let Bigdyl hear that......he has a whole other meaning for that.....

Little Wing · 05-06-2007, 06:05 PM

fufu · 05-06-2007, 08:08 PM

Well, I got my goal deadlift, surpassed my goal weight, and increased flexability/got my right knee back in shape.

I'll plan to bench 245(goal bench) on tuesday several times, then surpass that in another week. I haven't reached my squat goal because of a glute injury that popped up. Although I think I could have squatted that a long time ago if I was able to. Alas, I haven't. I did make a 20 lb PR on my front squat though.

That's what I got going on.

Well done fumanchu.

As for me, using HIIT to cut, but also to work on endurance and speed for conquering the 10 mile run.

thanks buds

So when is this thing officially over?

Little Wing · 05-11-2007, 08:28 PM

when should it be? i might make some progress by the end of june but i have my goal deadline set for august. i'm flexible.

Uthinkso · 05-12-2007, 08:09 AM

I'm flexible as well, I set my goal back in January of August 14 which is my anniversary. Thats just a personal thing though, and I am far from hitting it I might add. I've made giant strides but I think I was overly optomistic.

So when does this thing end???

fufu · 05-12-2007, 11:52 AM

Well, if we keep pushing the date what is the point of the challenge which was the original concept of the thread?

MeatZatk · 05-21-2007, 11:35 PM

uh, I just realized this was on here. Anyone want to start a new one or can I start now...but I'd need more than a month to reach my goal...

Little Wing · 05-23-2007, 12:46 PM

ok i think fufu won this won n i learned slacking off gets me nowhere. i'm doing good now n kicking myself knowing the progress i could have made by now if i hadn't had lazy months. months

Little Wing · 05-23-2007, 12:46 PM

round 2?

fufu · 05-23-2007, 04:50 PM

lawl, sure I have a new set of goals I started going for beginning yesterday. This time it will be harder I think.
