What are you practicing to be better at?

Ultra running. My next is a double; 50km on Saturday followed by a marathon on the Sunday.7

Jackknife on a stability ball. Even the modified (knees on ball instead of shins) is too challenging at the moment. But hopefully tomorrow will be a little better.4

Bench - want to hit reps with 4 plates total (225lbs), currently at 165lbs
Squat - want to hit reps with 6 plates total (315lbs), currently at 270lbs
Deadlift - want to hit reps with 8 plates total (405lbs), currently at 340lbs
This may take me months but they are all achievable.
Google working with chains on the bar. The idea behind it is you can increase resistance at the top of the lift and keep it the same at the bottom.
Thanks I just might. I saw this on some Westside videos but didn't understand why. Kind of makes sense.0 -
Push ups. My legs are fairly strong but my upper body has always been lacking. I dream of doing a pull up. Gotta start somewhere......2

All my swimming strokes.
Deadlift.
Maintenance.5 -
I purchased a bike about two weeks ago. I had not ridden bike in previous three decades. I'm really struggling on it. My first mini goal of riding to and from pool almost completed today - but I had to walk the last two uphill blocks to my house.
I want to go for 5 to 10 mile rides with ease - Hoping to be able to do that by November when the weather and fall beauty will really make the rides so worthwhile.5 -
Submissions from someone's back. I have some good chokes from other positions, but choking someone when I have their back is a subpar part of my game that needs improvement.6
-
Swimming - just started this summer. I've improved but looking for continued improvement in number of laps before I need a break.2
-
Current gym practices: climbing and dancing
Out of the gym: needlepoint2 -
Cycling faster over long distances.1

Just keep working at it.
My first ride, when I got back into it 27 years ago, was 2 miles, and I had to stop and take a break after the first mile. That was April 29, 1990. By the end of that summer, I had ridden a 50-mile ride.4 -

Thanks! It is 1.6 miles to the gym where I swim, so that ride (to and from is 3.2 miles) I'm almost completing. I'm dead on my feet (well it is 90+ degrees outside so that isn't helping) and can't wait till that is a nice easy ride. But yea, I'm just gonna keep at it!

Rowing: It's always something. Getting cleaner releases is one current thing; I tend to feather out instead of tapping down like I should, so it looks like I've got freakin' Niagara Falls dropping off my blade. Getting full extension from arms away/body over, smoothly, right out of the finish, before the slide. Always, always, letting the boat come to me on the slide! I could go on and on (sigh) . . . but that's part of what makes it perennially fun.
Also, learning to play bluegrass banjo. (But not in the boat. )6 -

I'd like to get better at everything too. Taking golf lessons right now, and have been taking tennis lessons for years. I'm doing C25K for the umpteenth time, having been stopped by injury/strains each of the previous times. Trying to get faster on my bike too, want to be able to keep up with a group of friends who cycle regularly. I could go on.
Actually let me sneak in one more. I'm trying to get better at cramming in more vegetables.0 -
I am doing a hand balancing challenge this month so hopefully I am great at them by the end of the month.
Long term i want to get better on the aerial hoop so I can get to the point where I can perform in front of people. This a many hours of intentional practice exercise and realistically i might be too old, too inflexible and too shy to ever reach this goal but it is fun to try.0 -
Remainder of the Summer and into Autumn - cycling is my focus, faster in general and improve my woeful performance on big hills in particular.
Autumn into Winter - bench press BW x 1.50 -
Bench - want to hit reps with 4 plates total (225lbs), currently at 165lbs

Surely bands, not chains?0
