jealous of the apple pie!
not the snow though, you can keep that 
Bread pudding! Gosh, I love that stuff. And, what a cute little snow-coating! Actual snow is what is going on outside at the moment, for which the snowblower and the generator stand ready to clear the carnage.
Well there is still a week entil the new year but as i am fat and happy from the holiday feasting I’m going to go ahead and lay out the goals for the new year. The first goal is to be more, more intense, more focused, get more out of every rep and every day.
Now as to concrete goals I’m going to hit before the end of 2011:
Squat 355
Bench 315
Dead 500
Dip 2x bodyweight
Ruck 15 miles with a 70lb load.
Run a sub 6 second 40 with a sled+25lbs
Do three meets
Greatly increase my GPP work.
Get eating locked down.
Learn to use knee wraps.
Get a little bit of hypertrophy going.
Continue to get my form squared away.
Get better at foam rolling and stretching.
That should be enough to keep me occupied for the year.
good set of goals
I do wonder what “rucking” might be. I have two ideas, one more likely than the other given the context.

Thanks, I always worry about chasing to many differing goals but I figure as long as I keep the numebr one goal in sight I won’t go to far astray.

That is commitment to the workout: puking and then coming back for more.
I hope you are feeling improved.

Good luck with this one. If you figure it out, lemme know.
I think Kimba is confusing rucking with rutting. Kinda surprised rutting didn’t make the list, Joe.

I felt fine fifteen minutes after I walked out of the gym, very odd.

Will do, when I’m lifting I look like I lift and then it just vanishes when I stop.
Sadly rutting isn’t something one can do by themselves.

Yeah but think of all the money you could make hustling, going into bars and challenging the biggest guy there to a weighted dip competition.

ROFL, “Well I just happen to have a dip belt here so if you want to wager on it,”
Joe-
Great dips and great persistence! Nice set of goals: I wish you great success in achieving them!

Married guys shouldn’t be having this problem. Is there some health reason that this is an issue? Cause if not, this is rather an unsustainable situation for a life-commitment such as marriage.
If that is too nosy/personal a question, feel free to ignore me.

Shit, can I get in on this Dear Abby action? Is this a free service or do I need to buy a subscription?
All you men: Tell your wives to lift heavy weights. I swear that has stoked my libido more than anything.

Form was poor on the 1x355 and dwon right craptastic on the 375 rep. I got caught up with all the cues getting set up for 375 then got pissy and just picked it up, very stiff legish. I should have just banged out 1-2 more reps on teh money set.

Sorry about the shitty angle.
