R2R [Pre-season Goals]

Return to Ruggedness – start Pre-session

61913 AM – Work

Thinking about goals. In no particular order, just as I think of them.

#1. Keep going in the current direction; continue outdoor exercises and maybe build the endurance and confidence to participate in mud runs, warrior dashes, a 5K or two and obstacle courses.

#2. Continue better eating practices.

However, I think I need specific goals to be successful.

#3. I want to be bench pressing at 2004 levels; at least “250 lbs. on a bad day,” and maybe push up to 300-ish.

#4. I want my torso measurements, especially hips in the 80 – 89 centimeter range.

#5. Long distance running, 5 miles minimum – or 6 to get that high.

Okay, let’s do it. Oh yeah, HIIT challenge with Xave 10, 1 minute rounds with 30 second breaks between rounds. [Short range goal.]The weight will do what it does. I’ll track it but not try to control it unless it gets out of hand & is fat weight. I don’t think I’d mind being a dense, muscular 195 if I could get this excess fat off of me, run five miles with little effort and bench 250 on a bad day. I need to internalize this.

As with last season, these goals are subject to review, possibly in 6 months or so. Unlike last season, this year will be – ‘televised’ in a manner of speaking.

Session I has begun and will be posted at the end of the month.
