goals for everyone here....

yury Posts: 81 Joined: 2001/11/01	2002/05/21, 07:58 AM I was wondering does everyone here give themselves goals after there done with the first goal or do you continue with the same goal with different motivation? ---------------------------- **Yury**

Short goals should be about 6-8 weeks.. and long term goals as much as a year if not further. My short term goals is to increase my calves by 3/4 inch and longterm goal is to have a balanced physique ready for a pro card! Who else? -------------- .o0 Arnold 0o...o0 theaustrianoak@hotmail.com 0o.

It'd be nice to first develop a 'good shape' then gradually build up weight based around that. If I could ever achieve a similar physique to that of a pro gymnast that'd be cool :) Meantime, back to the cardio and abs blasting... Rob.

Boddhisattvha Posts: 1,226 Joined: 2002/03/07	2002/05/21, 05:20 PM I think that once you have trained your whole body up a little, then you start targeting specific areas in your goals. You wouldn't want to just start working out and set a goal to have huge biceps and then ignore the rest of your body. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked.

fireloard Posts: 665 Joined: 2001/03/27	2002/05/21, 08:51 PM Short term goal: deadlift more.. shape my abs and back up more... Long term goal: have my entire body even and really powerful (maybe be able to bench press 1.5x my weight.. deadlift 2-2.5x.. etc) for just my weight... not to be massive as i'd never be able to stand on stage in just a pair of colored briefs... nothing in the world can make me do that.. nothing...
SeanMS Posts: 27 Joined: 2002/05/02	2002/05/22, 01:04 AM My short term goal is to get my old shape back. I stopped lifting for about 3 years and lost a lot of mass. I'm what I guess you could call a Medium frame and I used to have 17" arms but they were in proportion with the rest of my body. I'm still a few inches away from that at the moment and I just want to get back to where I once was. Long term-- sixpack abbs, if I only keep them for a week that will be fine. Then I can say "I used to have them". I'm down to 8% body fat and I can tell I've still got a good ways to go.

Long term goal is to loose the last fat on my big butt, put on some muscle mass (especially on my back!!!) and win all possible competitions next year!!!! -------------- - Nina :o) La vie est toujours aussi belle.....

kakaroto Posts: 893 Joined: 2002/05/09	2002/05/23, 05:23 PM i got an error in my exercice program(i´ve got the same exercice twice) and i don´t know what to choose. Barbell Preacher Curls or Standing Dumbbell Curls(can i do this one seated is more dificult)? and how many reps? ------------------------------------------------------------ no pain no game!

Boddhisattvha Posts: 1,226 Joined: 2002/03/07	2002/05/23, 05:40 PM Well judging from your goals, you should do standing dumbell curls. It is a mass building exercise. Usually I just do the reps that the other exercise had listed for me, but thats not always right. I think my standing dumbells are 16, 14,12,10. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.
rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/05/23, 05:43 PM If you're doing the mass program, do 12-8-6-4. And if you still need your arms to burn, do another set or just add more reps...if you can! -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
Boddhisattvha Posts: 1,226 Joined: 2002/03/07	2002/05/23, 09:30 PM If you elect say, wide shoulders, does that just increase the amount of reps? I just did my Standing dumbells yesterday and they were higher than that. But I've noticed several times that my program has higher reps than others have stated. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.

skinnyguy Posts: 86 Joined: 2002/05/03	2002/05/24, 01:42 AM I plan on gaining about 10-15 lbs by September, while maintaining a low bodyfat. Then, next winter i will go on extreme BULK and gain another 10-15lbs(or more!). And I will finally go on my first cut just in time for next spring/summer. This will all be done naturally (besides glutamine+creatine), unless I fail to meet my goals, then I may have to use more drastic measures lol. Anyways i should be a solid 170 by next spring, but 180 would be better :) Good Luck to ALL -------------- Vaya con Dios... Keith
yury Posts: 81 Joined: 2001/11/01	2002/05/24, 09:02 PM I have another goal...to make my arms bigger, and my calves and quads... ok this is gonna take too long my whole body amd weigh 165 by the end of this year 10 more pounds to go. -------------- ** an open minded person that loves knowledge about whatever he/ she pleases is a smart person** - yury
qseep Posts: 8 Joined: 2002/04/11	2002/05/25, 03:45 PM In the short term, I am just trying to stick with my program. My mass-gaining cycle is almost over, it's going well. Then I hope to trim fat while holding the muscle. Right now I am 172 lbs., 15% bodyfat, my long term goal is to be 180 lbs., 8% bodyfat. A couple of months ago I was under 160 lbs., and 11% body fat, that was after I had slimmed down and lost muscle along with fat. Also, of course, I want to develop things evenly, FreeTrainers.com helps a lot because the exercises change all the time.
skinnyrobin Posts: 224 Joined: 2002/05/10	2002/05/25, 04:27 PM well my exercises are all the same, but hey, i´m not complaining... Philia2: it was 3 days ago that you said you were going to be in a competition in 3 days...so how did it go?

malfisher Posts: 25 Joined: 2002/04/18	2002/06/05, 04:56 AM I think goals are good, vital in fact. I have a long term (years) goal to get as big and strong as possible using just hard training, food, protein shakes and maybe creatine. Short term goals (within a year) is to bench 100kgs for 10, leg press 300kgs, and behind neck on the smith for 40kgs + bar. I feel sure I can achieve these short term goals, but I aint banking on them, it's simply a target. Another short term goal is to commence deadlifting, and do 80kgs on the hack squat sled for sets of 8.
rosieposie64 Posts: 1 Joined: 2005/06/06	2005/06/06, 05:44 PM Okay I'm new and I dont really have much access to gyms and equipment.. I want a flat stomach and I was wondring how I would set my fitness plan and goals to do so? I think that my short term goal is to get back down to my original weight which is healthy for my size.. I believe my stomach needs to go for me to achieve this. Rose
foxydiva Posts: 4 Joined: 2005/06/08	2005/06/09, 12:45 PM My short term goals are simple. Just to stick to my workout and diet plan week by week, which will help with my long term goal of losing weight, inches and being back to my high school weight. I realize that may take a while to undo 8 years of damage
BlckToyBx Posts: 32 Joined: 2005/06/16	2005/06/18, 03:21 AM Well for me this is all new so my short term goal is to drop about 80lbs or more and build up lean muscle. Not sure how big I want to be but I know I want to be cut. I'm only 5-1 so how big can I really get :big_smile: Long term I have always wanted a 6 pack so as I continue to see my goals reached in the weight lose I gather I need to get down to about 8 to 10% body fat to see the abs. If anyone has any sugestions that would be great. I'm def learning a lot on this site and board. Thinking about joining the site to.

Look at the dates of posts before you bring them back up, the last post on this before your's was in May 27, "2002", little more then 3 years ago. It's very good to post your goals, I do it. But rather than bringing up a very old post, just post a new one. Thanks.
