We are now nearing the end of May which means the year is almost half over.   This is a good time to look back on the current years training and make adjustments while there is still time.  Above is my midterm grade which I have assigned to myself.  Diehard RFP fans (I'm joking) may remember my New Year's post where I outlined my goals for 2009.  In case you missed it here it is.  The major goals mentioned were 100 bodyweight pistols, 60 reps long cycle with 32kg, 100 reps long cycle with the 24s and 100reps in one arm LC with the 40kg bell.  Also I mentioned closing the COC 2.5 and pressing a 48kg bell.  So far the only one I hit was the pistol goal.  I have done pretty much no grip work and I have stuck with a mainly GS protocol the whole time instead of adding some strength days like I said I would. 

Well it is come to Jesus time and I need to back up what I said so here we go.  I look to achieve most, if not all of these goals by the end of the year like I said I would.  I am reminded of what a friend of mine in medical school once told me.  "The sooner I get behind, the longer I have to catch up".  I wonder what he is doing now?  Maybe practicing in Mexico.  This time I am behind and need to catch up.

If you have set goals use this as a time to reassess.  You still have another month before the actual midpoint of the year.  If you haven't set goals, do it now.  Let goals guide your training instead of aimlessly trying this and that for a few weeks  Instead of not sticking with anything long enough to get results, this way you will be focused and training with a purpose.  As always, train smart!
