What are your short and long term goals?

[O_RYAN_007]

Short Term: Get bench consistently at 325 for 3 reps. I have a hard time keep my upper back tight and keep my footing. I also want to work on my hips. They're giving me trouble after deads and wide stance squats. I'm looking for new ways to mobilize my hips.

Long Term: Slowly melt off fat, while adding strength to my squat, bench, and deadliest numbers. I've def moved away from training each body part once a week deal. Hitting DE Upper/Lower and ME Upper/Lower has really got me huge and strong; I love the way I feel. Health is also a long term goal of mine. I recently got back some great numbers on my recent blood work. Triglycerides, HDL, LDL, blood pressure, and resting glucose were great for just coming off PCT.

1) Fix my stupid fucking lower back, which has been plaguing me with pain and stiffness for a couple months, so I can squat and deadlift again.
2) Do the soft tissue work I always tell myself I'm going to do. Do at least 30 minutes each day.
3) Squat and deadlift to get bigger.
4) Get hyoooge as fock

Short term: Get healthy again. Too much sickness, health/wellness issues, and doctor visits this year. Get back to the gym yet again.

Long term: Stay healthy, make consistent muscle gains, eventually approach 11-12% bf somewhere south of 200 lbs. Anything heavier seems to affect how I feel. 18" arm-- I've never had one yet, but doggone it, I'm going to get there.

Short term. Remain healthy, keep weight at 200lbs and reduce body fat (currently 14-15%)

Long term. Pretty much same as short term goals. I don't want to be heavier as it put's more stress on knees and ankles, and I don't want to buy bigger clothes (again) LOL.

Speaking from experience, you'll have to either switch stances, training protocol, or start using gear. There is a reason that raw athletes seldom pull and squat wide/sumo: your hips take a massive beating. I have some ways to implement this if you want to PM me.

Short term: add 10lbs of LBM, or proba ly 15-20lbs all together. Then cut down to a nice and lean BF%

Long Term: maintain lean look, boost testosterone, remove small gyno lumps, add symmetry to my Pecs.

I would also like to add 10 inches to my dick for a total of 1 foot.

[BoneDaddy]

Short term: To actually get back in the gym, consistently and solidly and as a lifestyle like it used to be.

Long term: To be around 225 and around 8-10%.....sigh

I was watching a couple vids on youtube about flossing the hips with some bands... I implemented the stretching/flossing techniques today in the gym before my sumo dl sessions, and boy did it make a huge difference. I went in there feeling like I wasn't going to be able to get down low, but I sure did. I got 465 pretty easy (i didn't wanna go too heavy as I was still sore from a hardcore squatting session on sat). I'll still PM you though.

quite interesting in the 225+lbs at 12-15%bf and how many guys its a short or long term goal
jmo, but 200lbs cut (15% is cut, meaning 4 defined abs,not ippy abs - 10-12% is ripped) is quite a task for most even with gear unless you are 6'1+...........please dont under appreciate how hard even that is......let alone 225 cut

Ripped and 200 pounds. That's my goal... I think you hit on a point though, most guys think they are 10-12% body fat.. really probably closer to 15%.
