2024 was so many #fails , but eventually reached 3 of my 4 goals by new years.
✅ Deadlift 500 pounds (228kgs) (video 7 in June)
✅60 pushups (video14/15 December)
✅20 pull-ups (video 18 November)
❌Sub 6 flat mile time (final image December)
2025 my goals will be to get below that 6 min mile, compete in grappling tournament, and take no prisoners!
What I learned: I literally reached my goals in the exact opposite order I thought. I anticipated my mile would be easiest and 500 lb deadlift the most unreachable. Turned out to be opposite. Pushups and pull-ups are subjective as form deteriorates and body weight can change (I don’t like my form on the pull-ups especially).
Set measurable goals. Create a plan to work toward them. Failing is way better than no goals or no plan. If you’re going to the gym regularly or training often, you might as well make sure you’re moving the needle forward at least somewhere!
