just subbbbbed brah.

[rcdudegermy10]

Hand $100 to a total stranger?

Never go full retard op

[TooLateForRoses]

stretch stretch and stretch bro

i screwed up my knees playing football in the summer, havent been able to walk without pain since. cant do any leg exercises, cant do any cardio, cant do shyt

take good freaking care of your joints and the fitness goals will come easy as fuark

what specifically were you doing in football that screwed up your knees? I'm pretty good about stretching. I spend about 20 minutes doing stretches and warmups before soccer/bball/football.

My only problem is shin splints. I normally do ok running on grass and as long I don't play basketball more than 2 hours at a time I'm fine. Got some new cleats last week though, played football and soccer for 4 hours, ridiculous shin splints since.

Hand $100 to a total stranger?

Never go full retard op

you never know what that could snowball into brah, will at least make someone's day, if not their week, maybe even month. What's $100 to you in the grand scheme of things? I can make another hundred in a day, no biggie.

looks like we have some similar goals brah, good luck and keep me posted on your progress!



Is there a problem with giving money to someone? As someone who is constantly thinking about money, it's good to occasionally do things like this to remind myself that I control my money, and money doesn't control me.

Nothing wrong with spreading wealth but to a stranger? I assume not a bum on the street.

[Gymnmc23]

Great idea OP, best of luck on your 2014 goals.

Honestly, I'm thinking more like someone at the grocery store who seems to be strapped for cash trying to pay for their groceries. I have all year to wait for the right time. It won't be some random bum on the street who I assume would go buy some black tar the minute I walk away.


just found this for my spanish goal. Seems absolutely perfect. 50 lessons and they are 1 hour a piece!

Repped OP. I have a similar list, while I know it's a cliche to have a New Years resolution, I have recently turned my life around and gotten a taste of what self improvement can do. Hope you pull them off OP a lot can happen in a year, even though we say it's just 52 weeks. Good luck

In on epic thread

[KillahJon]

Thanks buddy, tbh, I am close to a lot of them already. I have been working on my athletics a lot lately (playing soccer/basketball/football 6+ hours a week) I can already grab the rim with one hand, so dunking won't be too difficult. Marathon training will be more mental for me than anything, I run for 3 hours at a time for soccer every week so that won't be too bad. The pushups/pullups/etc will just be a matter of structuring a day off properly. Might take a couple tries to get a proper rhythm.

All in all, I honestly think I can do all 52. My minimum I am going for is 47 (~90%) but I think I can do them all.

hardest ones will be all of the blog posts and 52 books. I am going to have to frontload those hardcore because I know I will get demotivated eventually. Part of my job (i sell memberships at a gym and personal train) allows me to work on the blogs and some of the fitness stuff while working, and I'm about to move to a higher income area.

Grabbing the rim isn't even close to dunking a basketball. Your fitness goals conflict with each other.....specially if you're training for marathons, playing sports, or even strength training. Training for a vertical jump is very specific.
Hope you achieve all of your goals.....52 books is beast, don't let it affect the rest lol.

Considering I could grab the rim within 2 weeks of playing bball for the first time since ~middle school, I'd say it won't take me long at all. Honestly, I think I can do all of them. Just requires more effort and more food than most people are willing to put in. Comments like these motivate me the most, so thanks (srs)

also I am a pretty quick reader. Should have my first one finished before work tomorrow. (just started today after work/gym)

list

awesome list brah. I will probably try the yoga thing too. always been kind of intrigued by it, never actually given it a shot though

[chisle94]

Great, positive thread. Best of luck with all your goals this year, brother.

What kind of books are you reading? Do you already have a list? I can't seem to finish Fiction, I always put it down half-way thru.....wut do?

[XFactah416]

Good luck OP. Massive props to you if you do all 52, or hell even if you do half.

[TooLateForRoses]

I don't have a list yet. Today I am reading, "Contagious: Why Things Catch On" by Jonah Berger. I will probably read a mix of business books, self help books, and autobiographies. The last book I read was The Wolf of Wall Street (phenomenal). Up next I may revisit How To Win Friends and Influence People for the first time since 9th grade, and after that Why A Students Work For C Students.

I like self help, positive, autobiographies, etc. Will probably throw in a handful of fiction books just to spice things up.

can't tell you, lateral movements i guess

was playing 3+ hours every single day from like may to september, that probably had a lot to do with it. icing both knees right now because they hurt like hell, and i haven't even done anything strenuous toady

also got shin splints, but yeah those are just overuse injuries. dont play 5 hours a day and youll be fine



hindu brah here. white people yoga is garbage. most basic crap and charge you out the ass for it

ahh i see. i'm not playing that much, probably won't play anything more than 3 hours a day again

I can take yoga classes for free at the gym I work at. what's the difference that makes it so basic? I feel like my first week should be pretty basic anyway.

[Tanned4tottin]

this is a great idea and id like to participate in this as well, i just dont see myself fulfilling someone elses goals...im just to unmotivated to come up with my own list...

[TooLateForRoses]

yup they should be. the only thing i really don't like about places like bikram yoga is that yoga is meant to be somewhat spiritual, and of course for exercise and all that.

western yoga places throw all that out the window, say some sanskrit phrases they cant pronounce properly, do some poses they learned off the internet, jack up the temperature to 40 degrees and call it hot yoga and charge $50 a session

i see i see. i know that it is meant to be spiritual, but i'm not really looking for all that, and since it's free, i don't really mind.

they don't jack up the temperature at my gym either lol, the people would certainly complain.

get to it brah. you're not going to be motivated to get stuff done if you're not even motivated to make the list!!!

Love the positivity of the thread, currently trying to come up with a handful of 6 month goals for the first half of 2014.

You mentioned The Wolf of Wall Street and How To Win Friends and Influence People, two books I thought were really awesome. What other books do you rate?

[Vise09]

Nice start I'm in

Hmm, another one I read last year that will conflict with popular misc opinion was, Every Day a Friday by Joel Osteen. It definitely has a big Christian undertone to it, but regardless of a religious affiliation, if anyone were to look at the core of the book, they could learn a lot from it. It basically teaches how to make the most of every situation, and take control of your mentality in regards to being positive. That's another book I read recently that I liked a lot, I am definitely a much more positive person since reading it (srs).

I'll have to take a look at my bookshelf. I read a lot in high school and I honestly haven't read much lately. Looking forward to taking it to the next level this year

[d2391]

also doing some of these good stuff inn

[JurassicPakBrah]

Subbed.
You just gave me the motivation to do a similar list myself. It's way more concrete than some vague and ****gy New Year's resolutions.
Thanks OP.

post your list when it's done brah, there are a lot of people making similar lists, and we can all keep each other accountable and motivated!

[RandyT2010]

OP do yourself a favor and download memrise and duolingo, they are two phone apps that when used in conjunction will allow you to learn Spanish quite rapidly just stick to them.

In addition ill edit this post momentarily as im making list of my own, subscribing to the thread and will be poverty repping those that stick to it and accomplish their goals.

dope. downloading them both now. I just completed my first lesson on spanish hour, was really elementary stuff, but I think that's good. Haven't done anything with spanish since 10th or 11th grade. Went to Costa Rica a few months back and felt like a bum, couldn't speak very well. My best friend is from Colombia. I am probably going to Medellin with him this summer for a week or two, hoping to be somewhat polished by then.

[TooLateForRoses]

Well today I:
Read over half of my first book of the year
Completed my first Spanish lesson
Emailed my resume to a few gyms down in Palm Beach where I plan to move in ~2 months

All of this on top of going out last night, being at work at 8:30 A.M., and getting a workout in. I'd say it was a pretty productive start to 2014. Hoping to keep up the pace!
