What are everyone's goals for 2024? I hope to hit a 600lb deadlift, 250lb log press and a 250lb Atlas stone to shoulder.

I managed to finish 2023 down 27 pounds from the beginning of the year. Got in a good groove later part of the year losing 2-3 pounds per month. Just gonna keep rolling with that this year. Also have been in a good groove doing Crossfit. Not setting a bunch of goals other than to show up 4-5 days a week and not get myself hurt.

I'd like to add about 5 pounds of muscle and stay lean going into spring, then cut. I'd like to get down to a contest condition to prove to myself that I can do it. Then, I'll regroup and maybe do a show in the fall. It would be Master's Physique.

So quick question: I've always kind of curled my hands in (bent wrist) at the top of a bicep curl. But recently I noticed in a vid that the guy was actually keeping his hands straight (straight wrist) instead. I tried it last time i did arms and I felt like the focus was more on my biceps and that I was able to lift slightly more weight or reps.
Is this a thing? Or am i just imagining it? Also, mini-update, I think the HIIT (med. high intensity) is working. I can do unassisted pull ups now. 4 last week. I know, not a lot, but haven't been able to do one since 2018, so progress. I've decided to continue the HIIT thing for an extra month. |

Ah okay. So if I want to focus on the biceps, keep 'em straight. If I want to engage the Brachialis, curl my wrists. Thx.:thumb: |

I actually do curls with my wrists cocked back (the opposite way you do). I feel like I get a better contraction at the top like that. Is either way "better"? I don't think so. It's all about what feels better for you. It looks like this, but I don't hold the weight out on my fingertips like that: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SA77MpVOOKQ/maxresdefault.jpg |

Hmm. That I've never seen before. I'll try to remember to give that a try next arm day. While I'm here, I'll throw in this tidbit: saw a vid of a guy curling EZ bars one-handed (standing). Tried it once a couple weeks ago, the difficulty of controlling it while going through the rep made me think it could be a heck of finisher set. That guy said something about holding the bar slightly off-center for whatever reasons, but I found just holding it in the middle was pretty challenging. ymmv. |

Is penguinz really a hot fitness model girl? Actually, never mind. I'll just pretend she is; I'll sleep better that way. |
