Ryan Bailey Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi Everyone and Happy New Year, I am curious if anyone has goals for the year... flexibility? Strength? Weight loss? Agility, cardio, or jump rope skills? Have a great 2-thousand-one-eight! Ryan 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Chin Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Finish Foundation 1. That was my goal for last year too. This year, it might actually be a realistic goal. (: 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Étienne Lajeunesse Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hey Ryan, happy new year to you! GB has so many things that I want to work on and achieve! But for this year I want to get at least my splits and full bridge. What about yours? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanna McGee Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I want to do a free-standing handstand this year!! I am so ready for it Also on the pole, I want to do something called Ayesha (picture below), and I think if I am capable of a handstand, I should be capable of Ayesha. (and then of course, I have some non-athletic goals, like earning an Advanced Communicator in Toastmasters, and learn Spanish, just some of them). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Wadle Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi Ryan, here's mine (strength/movement goals only - I also have competition goals, but will spare you ): Full front lever x 10 seconds Open planche x 30 seconds Full depth HSPU 5x5 sets Pancake: to allow me to progress on in the press handstand A pretty cartwheel and true consistency on my handstands Negative Side Lever Pulls Full bridge inside out rotations Muscle up 5x5 sets Deadlift 2x BW Pull-ups, 20x single set (dead hang) I'm hoping all of these are all doable. I'm very close on most of them. My current training cycle runs until the end of the summer, so that is when they're due. Your mobility is looking awesome. I can see you've put on some muscle in those shoulders and upper back...keep up the good work. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antonio Alías Montoya Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 My goals are at least 90 degrees angle pike and pancake, be able to start bridge work and to master F1 or close. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Wadle Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 14 hours ago, Étienne Lajeunesse said: What are your competition goals? The list is big? My competition list is just my goals for the cross country ski racing season, which ends in late March. The conditions and speed and competition in cross country ski racing can be highly variable; so unlike w/ road running, the times can be highly variable and don't make a good "goal". I usually couch these goals in terms of "time back" from the leader, or "top 10%", or something along those lines instead. Same goes for trail running, where you could run more than an hour or 2 different on two different courses, depending on ascent/descent, technicality of terrain, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Étienne Lajeunesse Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 @Douglas Wadle, There are so many variables for competitions and I understand completely that it's not always easy to set clear goals. But that's still a nice one to pursue. It gets you on a baseline. And GST does help for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Berglund Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 @Ryan Bailey Great topic! Front split on both legs and master PE2 of every F1 element. Yes, they are crushing me 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Marie Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'm still fleshing out goals for this year, but some still in the running are: 100# snatch Bodyweight clean & jerk (I'm a weightlifter first) Ten in a row pull-ups Single-leg squat Free-standing handstand Finish F1 (probably should be a stretch goal - maybe finish half) Consistent, steady improvement in mobility Hey Suzanna, estoy tambien apprendiendo espanol. Hablame cuando estes lista. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they are crushing me I'm at PE2 on four of foundations, plus H1. PE2 seems to be a defining movement, a place to test our resolve and grit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Marie Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 @Douglas Wadle "Pancake: to allow me to progress on in the press handstand" My pancake is awful, and is currently on hold due to a hip issue that flared up just for the mid split series. But, I'm so sorely tempted to start the press to handstand workouts because I love being inverted. How far down H2 did you get stuck because of your pancake mobility? I'm not looking for secret peeks into the program, but just trying to decide if I could get started, or if I'm better off waiting until I can work on pancake again. Thanks!

Elias Lehtinen Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Great topic! Here is my list of goals. Mastery of rcpe1, hbp pe2, flpe2, mnpe2 and hs1 pe2im. So better shoulder mobility, pike and pancake. Pretty humble list, but after those its going to be so much easier, right? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be able to squeak by up to that point. It is some good trap training, so may be worth going for it as you work on the mobility side. Best of luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started the H2 long time ago, still being in the beginning of H1 (I think PE8). You can go for it, because I think you probably will be in the lower PEs for a while, and you can keep improving your straddle meanwhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
