Ash Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I suppose it's time for the obligatory New Year goals thread, so here we go....What are your training goals and New Years resolutions for 2007?Competing? Cutting? Bulking? Hitting a new PB on a specific lift? Gaining an extra 20kg of body fat? :grin: Mine are simple:Get in 3 x martial arts classes a weekRehab a few niggling injuries that have been bothering me for agesDrop down to single figure BF while keeping my bodyweight over 100kgDramatically increase my flexibility and cardio fitnessAdd a lot more organic and raw foods into my diet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2guns Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 my goal is to hit over 100kg and not gain any more bodyfat than what i have now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterTel Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 My main goal is something I have each year - to be better when I next compete than I have ever been in the past (and as I am now 46 years old it is getting harder to do! )Some new goals for me this year are to:1) be more experimental with my training, diet and supplementation2) look after my body more (i.e. not overtrain, not ignore injuries, get regular massages etc)3) do more cardio in the off-season, not just leaving it for my pre-comp phase.Happy New Year everyone - all the very best for 2007!!

Ash Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Get a healthy rotator cuff.Thats the first one.Not sure how badly injured your rotator is but the DC shoulder stretch sorted out my rotators in a few weeks. I'd always thought that I'd live with sore rotators forever, so I can't recommend it enough.....Check out:http://www.nzbb.co.nz/forum/viewtopic.php?t=708 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had an excellent 2006 with your comps and it's great to see you aiming to step up to the next level. Good on you for trying both NABBA and NZFBB comps. I did 5 NABBA show last year after doing 16 NZFBB/IFBB event over the previous 5 years and it was a very rewarding experience. More and more people are competing for both organisations now which I think is fantastic for them and for NZ bodybuilding in general.So, which NZFBB event are you looking to qualify in and do you have a particular overseas event you want to try?

Andrew Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I aiming for qualifying for NZFBB at the Wellington Champs on the 28th April, I’m not to sure what overseas event yet it’s all dependent on the first few comps that I do and when/where the overseas events are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExpensiveUrine Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I could say the same for Richard, he's beating us both on relative/absolute strengths as well as Sinclair. There's not much we can do about that now, apart from hard training and working on our weakpoints. Our time will come!There will be more videos as we go through the year (competitions/training).

poos_n_wees Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Not sure how badly injured your rotator is but the DC shoulder stretch sorted out my rotators in a few weeks. I'd always thought that I'd live with sore rotators forever, so I can't recommend it enough.....Check out:http://www.nzbb.co.nz/forum/viewtopic.php?t=708:shock: I've been doing that DC stretch for a week and a half now, and Holy bejeeezus it worked!! Tentatively did some benching the other day and blow me down, there were no niggly pains in the right shoulder... 100 points for reviving that thread Ash!!My goal this year is to stretch after each weight training. Prevention is better than cure.. or something like that :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
