TyMoore122:
Team Sly.....Great couple months of working out here! O0
Welcome to the Sly September Fitness Challenge. I was very encouraged by the August thread, and it was a great inspiration to me and driving my efforts...Thank you all!!
Objective: Post your fitness goals for the month, check in with your progress, support others while they march towards theirs and enjoy the summer.
My goals this month are
1) 200 miles on the bicycle (includes 1 65+ mile ride, A$$ hurts thinking about it)
2) 3-4 weight lifting sessions per week
3) Increase Vo2max by 2 points (oxygen volume did get 4 points in August)
4) Weight loss? Lets go with 5 pounds.
Sign up and post your September goals….above all have fun and be careful, injuries impact goals….better to go light, than go home.
Cheers,
Ty

Beardman checking in for another month!
My goals for this month are:
lose that last 4 pounds that eluded me last month, that's probably my main goal.
Keep working that shoulder...
Hrmm, I would love to be back to bench pressing over 100 lbs on flat bench and 77lbs on the incline bench by the end of the month, but they might be big asks, and I'm certainly not going to be pushing for them at all, just something to keep plodding away at really.
Maybe back to a consistent 175lb squat would be nice...
Totally wasn't just thinking up my goals as I wrote this haha...
Seeing it's getting into spring down under, I'll probably be looking to get back into all my bush walking and canoeing and stuff, so that is something to look forward too!
I look forward to see what everyone else has planned for the month of September!

Just curious, but how did you arrive at 77 lb goal for the incline bench? Usually the bar by itself weighs 40 to 50 lbs and the plates are usually 5, 10, 25 or 45 lbs. How do you arrive at such an odd number? My inner math geek wants to know. :)

Well you see, I am Australian, and here we use the Metric system. So I have just been using a converter whenever I am talking numbers with you guys, the weight I am really talking about is 35 kilograms, guess I forgot to do my sneaky round to the nearest 5 and someone finally caught me out haha!
TyMoore122:
Yah, and to make sure Beardman gets us I now speak in metric centuries when I talk the long rides O0
Wore my Navy bike shirt as we played Norte Dame in Ireland today...we lost big time >:(
We only did a metric half century (32 miles), son got a flat out in no mans land, luckily I had a spare.
