more chest building for me! While maintaining everything else

Are you training for a competition, a race, a strong man event?
What are your BF% goals, or Max lift Goals, etc?

I want to compete in figure/fitness competitions. I do not have one in mind right now as I am first focusing on my body. When I get to certain degree of fitness, then I will train specifically for that event.

I want to reduce my body fat % to 12ish for the competition. But for all other wonderful times of the year, I want to be in the 16-17% range. I don't have any lifting goals right now since my workouts are 3 sets of 8-12 reps...so I honestly don't even know what my one rep max is for most lifts. I can tell you that my bench press for those 36 reps is at 70 pounds right now, barbell squats is up to 125 pounds...not too sure about deadlifts since I just started them a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday I did 70 pounds but thought it was too light. I don't have a trainer or a spotter so I am starting that one out slowly until I find where I need to be, but not all in the same workout cause I don't want to spend all my time doing hams and lower back, lol.

I'd also like to get to the point where I can run a mile in under 7 minutes. I have never done that before.

Chest has always been my weakness due to a bad shoulder. I need to put some mass on my pecks!

Chest? I love it, I, too would like a bigger one, hehe

obviously, I still can't quote correctly despite being on here for a long time...

LOL yeah your chest looks terrible. GOD id kill for a chest like yours.

I'm 47 next week - my goals are:

To reveal my abs by christmas
To lower my bf% - and to get it measured professionally
To increase my ability to do pullups from my current which is 3 sets of 3 (although the 9th one is usually more of neck stretch!) to 3 sets of 12
To hang from a climbing frame by the legs and do upside down sit ups
To achieve certain yoga positions that currently fail me

I currently burn around 5-6000 cals per week and train with ex-military PT instructors 3 x a week outside in all weather. The rest of the time is made up with resistence training, interval training and power walking.

I want to better my 1/2 marathon time and start training for a marathon.

Hiya People, had a fall out at work with a director, so im on what they call garden leave, (full pay, but dont have to go to work) so with time on my hands, till x-mas, my goal is to drop to my lowest ever weight (78kg) in the last 6yrs, and become ripped rather than toned and bulky, I think a 10kg drop will be enough, so far my progress has been


Oct 25th---88kg
Nov 4th----85.6kg
Nov 11th---84.8kg
Nov 18th-- 83.6kg
Nov 25th---??
Dec 2nd----??
Dec 9th

On a target so far, been very steady, allow myself one cheat meal a week.

this is my short term goal, long term I dont know yet, any ideas?

Good start, for long term I would focus on strengthening my cardiovascular system. No point in getting shredded if you have a heart attack in several years. That's just my $0.03



I have , I already run 4x times a weeks doing Intervals, run 5k at a time, then I row 2500metres 3x times a week, again doing intervals, Hey when your time is up, its up, I have always wanted to take up a new hobby like rock climbing put my body wasnt really made for that, I am hoping if I slim down a bit, I might be more suitable for it.

I want to better my 1/2 marathon time and start training for a marathon.
