2007 Improvement Challenge

Thank you :) 500 is a big goal of mine.

I normally wouldn't go for PR's so quickly but I am heading back to school soon and then don't allow chalk in the gym I go to there.
 
i just found a cool place to buy exercise equipment... the place i was planing to go to has crap in the store you need to order everything online so i found this at another place that has stuff in stock. :)

http://bodysolid.com/Item.aspx?Item...d+Pro-Lat+Machine:+Body-Solid+Pro-Lat+Machine

plus it's 100 bucks cheaper at the place i'm going. the roman chair n hyperextension things are more there but i'll see what else they have... might settle for one of the others but the lat machine is a definite.

http://bodysolid.com/Item.aspx?ItemID=509 does $179 seem steep?

While we are on the subject I'd love to get a glute/ham raise. In the past I have heard good things about new york barbells and have order a decent yukon powerrack from a lousiana-based company.

Nice.

Power racks are great. They are one of the most essential pieces of equipment.

I've never used one though. :(
 
i finally set up my lat machine today n i think i made a good choice. :) should have took it easy on the video games n bought the roman chair but tr n prince of persia are fun... god of war isn't bad either.... next shopping trip i'll get the chair.... :P
 
Alright, I got my deadlift goal and now I need to nail that squat and bench. Lost some weight at school so I am upping the cals again.
 
A bit late, but I'm going to join up for this improvement thing.

My goal will be to run 10 miles without stopping. I can do around 5 - 6 at the moment, with only 1 month of taking up jogging.

Good luck! I used to run cross country. Try finding a good forest path - they are generally more enjoyable and go by faster for most people.

Cheers fufu. More challenging too, zig zagging between trees and up and down hills.
Sure beats running in the city getting mouthfulls of deisel as a bus or truck passes by. What sort of time would be good for 10 miles? Did 5 in 31 minutes the other day - quite pleased.

6.2 minute miles is great for 5 miles. I'd say you could get 10 miles in 80 minutes, that would be pretty good.

Running in woods is more challenging I suppose, but it keeps your mind active and is more interesting. I loved the cross country races through the narrow woodland paths. Makes you seem like you are going faster as well.

No, they are all lazy bastards who like getting high, or drunk too much. It used to be me, but not anymore - stopped geting high 2-3 years ago - a big motivation killer. (Still like drinking at weekends) They'd slow me down anyway. Will still be hitting the gym 3 times a week too, so i don't end up like one of those scrawny marathon runners.

Sounds like my friends. :laugh:

So are you training total body?
 
btw - you ever think of starting a journal?

Had one before, but don't have the discipline to update it.:dwnthumb: It was a very bizarre custom workout that I designed myself (meaning it was terrible)
-far too much volume, before I knew any better. Funny thing is that it worked for me.
Now I've just started a push/pull/legs routine, that danchubbz provided a template of, so i'll see how that goes.
 
Update time!!!!!!!

I think 375 squat will come soon, I see it on the horizon.
245 bench will come quicker than the squat, which I didn't foresee.

Now you guys -
 
What's weight at captain- if you don't mind me asking.
 
I'm in for sure....
 
I said updates!!

:paddle:
