String together 3 unassisted pullups
Back squat 200#
Sub 30:00 5k
Finish my first half marathon
Really improve my technique on my clean and jerk and snatch
Stop being afraid to do a handstand!0 -
YES! That is what has held me back on the HSPU. I'm TERRIFIED of being upside down. Seriously, I go pansy mode. This year I finally got over it (kind of), so I can get into a handstand against the wall. I was doing it last night actually 30 sec hold, 90 sec off for 10 rounds. But for the HSPU - I'm still thinking ok, i'm upside down, secure and locked out, and now you want me to do what??? Bring my head crashing toward the floor by bending my arms??? Proof that CrossFIt is for the crazy0

Hi everyone, I'm very new to Crossfit (only attempted 1 WOD) so my 2012 goal is to get my head round it in general, and start working on my olympic lifts. I go to a regular gym here in the UK but I've been lifting weights for about 18 months and my PT and and a couple of others at my gym are getting into Crossfit, so I have them encouraging me but at present I visualise Crossfit sitting alongside what I already do, rather than replacing it entirely. I'm starting out slowly as there are some things I need to modify or possibly omit due to chronic back problems but otherwise I can't wait to get going.
I'm struggling a bit as to how I should scale things e.g. if I can do some pull ups unassisted but not the total prescribed am I best to do what I can, maybe splitting into mini sets, or just go for assisted so that I can get out the total number in 1 go? I kind of feel like I don't want to go back to assisted, what do you do? did you worry about time when you started as presumably it's best to concentrate on form?
More specifically my goals are
1. Master my fear of jumping - yes I can't deal with box jumps or jumping up to catch onto bars overhead. I know it's ridiculous, and as a kid I was was always swinging off of something but now I hate it. So far I have managed jumping onto a 12" box and jumping up to catch on pull up bars as long as I don't look up at them. Actually I also tried TTB the other day and didn't like that whole hanging upside down thing either so I need to work on that too!
2. Get better at kipping pullups, I had worked up to 7 unassisted pullups and started learning the kipping technique a couple of weeks back and have managed 4 in a row so far.
3. learn the technique for clean & jerk and start handstands.
4. work on my lower body generally, due to my back issues I had to keep lower body work very light until 6 months or so ago so I am relatively stronger in my upper body. I started learning deadlift about 3 months ago and lifted my bodyweight a few weeks ago so now I want to go heavier and my squats need work too.
5. reassess my goals once I learn the full extent of what I'm rubbish at!0 -

2012 fitness goals:
Complete the ones I missed on in 2011.
Lose another 15 lbs of bad weight.
get Fran under 10.0 -
Well, I'd like to just say "get stronger and faster at everything." But that's not going to give me a lot to work towards!
We do quarterly goals at our box and I'm still working on mine for Q1 of 2012, but here is what I have so far:
-Deadlift 235# (currently 215)
-Back squat 180# (currently 140)
-Snatch 100# (currently 85 ish)
-Jerk 115# (currently 95)
For 2012 in general:
-Any unassisted pullups!
-Learn to do kipping pullups
-HSPU (I can go about halfway down currently)
-Lower body fat % to about 16 - currently 21%
Do you guys think these are attainable? Especially the first quarter ones - are those attainable in 3 months?0 -
Some fantastic goals here! I've only been doing crossfit for a month, but here are my fitness goals for 2012
run a 15km with my friend when the Istanbul Marathon is on
Start tracking my progress with squats, deadlifts etc
Learn kipping pullups
Try to learn handstands... that kind of freaks me out.
Hopefully lower my bf%
That's it at the moment...0 -
GOALS goals GOALS!! :glasses:
I've lost a lot of strength post -surgery, so hoping to get back to my 1 RM's by spring.
I was getting close to a kip, but the fascia in my abs are so tight now, I think a lot of work will have to be done to regain the flexibility I once had through my torso. Thinking of taking on some moksha yoga.
Getting my T2B back as well. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to GHD again.
But generally it's as follows...
I'm 40 next month - I'm not so interested in competing with the 20-something's at my box. I would stress myself out if I couldn't do what the girl next to me did and never took time to appreciate my accomplishments.
I've started to run - every other day a minimum of 2 miles... no reason other than to improve my endurance.
Lower BF%0 -
My goals are a work in progress, but some things I'd like to work on:
-Free standing Handstands
-Double Unders...sometimes I can get a couple, but a lot of the time I still struggle with them
-Faster run times
-Improve my rowwing
-Muscle ups!!!0 -

Try putting ab mats on the floor under your head... start with 3 (or however many you need based on your arm length), just so you have enough room to break the lock out and push back up (if you can)... then you work to remove ab mats... that way if you fall, you're only falling an inch or so... instead of all the way to the floor. :-)0
