Goals for 2018?

I'm personally wavering between going for the "1000 lb club" OR sort of a "maintain strength PR's while doing some cardio and losing some body fat". Obviously the latter goal is tricky to nail down into specifics. My time in the gym is limited due to overly busy life and so I need concrete goals to stay motivated. Any suggestions? What are your goals for 2018?

Grow these traps!!
Good luck too all above (and perhaps below) with your goals!2 -
Keep my progressive routine going and gain weight to GW of 1153
-
Same as 2017. I'll do something different, though.1
-
205+kg squat, 120+kg bench, 225+kg deadlift
This would give me a 550kg or 1212.5lbs total. I am at an 1100 total now so this might be a bit hard to reach but still progressing weekly. I would love to hit 1125-1150 by my 1-year training anniversary in May. Not bad for a 45-year-old previously morbidly obese computer nerd
Oh, for body composition to keep the same waist or go down a bit would be ok. I don't worry about scale anymore but if I lower my body fat I'd likely do better in a meet.2 -
1. Begin masters program.
2. Learn to sew enough to alter clothes.
3. Drop 3-4 lb/month.
4. Finish the FCC JavaScript course.
5. Finish the Coursera C++ course.
6. Repair the bikes.
7. Repair the ceiling.
8. Do an un-assisted pull-up.
9. Do a split.
10. Blog regularly.
11. Submit a proposal to present at the 2019 state convention.
12. Begin practicing piano again.
13. Plant a vegetable garden.
14. Do push-ups nose-to-floor.
15. Run 3 miles in <30 min.
Probably too much, tbh. But... it is what it is!7 -

What program are you on? Hitting 1100 lbs (in 7 months?) at any age- that's fantastic.0 -
A year of new experiences. The list is small but growing:
1. 15K Trail run
2. Attend Brendon Burchards High Performance Academy
3. Attend first annual Dave Anderson Fishing Classic (my dad passed away this year and this event is in honor of him)
4. Family Mud Run (mud run course designed for families)
5. Hike up Mt. St. Helens with my daughter (I have reached the summit before but looking forward to doing it with her)
6. July - we normally travel around the country for 30 days, not sure what this summer will have in store
In order to accomplish this list (and others that get added), I will be focusing on my attitude and energy. Energy: sleep, nutrition, exercise, etc. Attitude: asking myself each morning, what do I want to get out of today? How do I need to show up? as well as checking in throughout the day on my attitude and energy levels.
Good luck to everyone as they work towards their goals!2 -
300 lb deadlift
210 back squat on the platform
20 double-unders in a row
Get my shoulder looked at by a doctor and stop taking Advil every day

Keep my chickens alive and get lots of eggs

I used Starting Strength. I tried to do 4-day split but I still have better results on a 3-day full body. For last few months, I've been doing an HLM weekly progression program that is heavier in intensity and low-ish in volume. Old body doesn't like too much volume but responds to intensity very well.
I eat 200g+ of protein a day and sleep 8 hours every day. I think the fact I just never miss a day, leave it all in the gym every time, and make sure to recover help. I also seem to be able to do deadlifts and squat pretty good for training age. My bench sucks but I get 900 from those 2 lifts. Oh and milk the newbie linear gains as long as possible. Even if only a 1-2lbs increase every session. Weekly progression sucks and I loathe to think what monthly progression will feel like.
Thank you for say as much by the way. I bust my *kitten* in the gym and it's nice to hear anything good.
