As far as fitness goes, I want to raise my weight to 200 lbs., bench two 80 lb. dumbbells, squat 250 pounds, and deadlift 300 pounds. The six pack will come when I've decided I'm strong enough to have earned it(I won't try to get one until I've achieved my goals). I want to do all this before next fall, so I'm hoping to be there around July of 08'. To do this, I've created a workout which utilizes the deadlift, bench, lunges, rows, squats, pullups, and dips as the main lifting workouts. There's two days rest between the main lifting workouts. I do 5-8 reps for 3 sets with heavy ass weight(for me lol), always going to failure by the last set. I'll continue this for a month, then add another set. I'll continue with four sets until the month is up(see a pattern), and then I'll add another set getting me to five sets. From there I'm not sure what I'll do. Depending on where I am after I've reached five sets for a month, I think I'll probably change exercises, rep ranges, and sets. Maybe some supersetting, but it's just hard to say. I just need to stick to a plan, which has always been hard for me.
My macros are 50 Carbs, 25 fats, and 25 proteins, and I want to eat around 3500 calories a day, although I haven't been keeping track lately.
I want to get A's in all my classes at the community college I go to, and to do this I'm going to minimize the distractions. Little to no TV, web surfing, video games, and yes, no porn. It's gonna be as hard as hell, but it's worth it. For me to be satisfied, I have to know that I've given it my all. I know there will be disappointments, but I'm resilient, and I will persevere.
This is what's best for me, and whoever I must provide for in my future. To be happy in the long-term, I've got to look ahead now, and do everything I can to accomplish my long-term goals. For me it means exceling in my education, building my physical strength, and sticking to my principles.
Thank you God, for everything you've given me. You've given me what it takes to accomplish my goals, please strengthen my will.
I have York bumper plates. But I never drop my presses. This can be hard on joints, getting the bar back to shoulders, thighs. Shoulder issues. I started with an empty bar, and built up as little as a kilo at a time with little gems aka fractional plates of .5kg. Presses still suck, but I ain't giving up. You can still do them from a rack or stands. Just tense everything before the push, and you'll be fine. Best of luck with those great goals.
