    haha a limit of 3-5 eh? well.. the list is still very long despite reaching a couple of my goals last year. For 2012 let’s say…

    1. Fix my pullups/swing timing so I can string more than 4 together – and maybe work on being able to just jump up on the bar;
    2. String together 24″ box jumps;
    3. Improve conditioning/running endurance;
    4. Work on my upper body strength for a ring dip or maybe a HSPU;
    5. Work on my squat/thruster strength so i can benchmark Fran without dying or taking FOREVER to finish :) . This however, does not mean we need to see more of Fran… or Narf :D .

  2. Jane says:

    1. Wear pants… like real pants, not lulus
    2. Look fabulously amazing in my birthday suit
    3. Perfect the kipping squat (youtube that movement… so useful ;) !!)

    Okay okay… let’s be realistic:
    1. Run 10 km (I still am not allowed to run yet)
    2. 20-24” box jumps (When I’m allowed to jump again)
    3. Aim for 15 flawless push ups (no worming which is my tendency)
    4. Bench press more than 100 pounds (not collapse in laughter)
    5. Toes-to-Bar that shizz (string > 5 together)

  3. Cheeky says:

    1) achieve a 300lb dead lift
    2) achieve a handstand push up
    3) clean and jerk 145lbs
    4) string together kipping pull ups
    5) compete in another crossfit competition

    And like Janey, I too would also like to look fabulous in my birthday suit :D

  4. BonBon says:

    I can’t speak for tiff on experience although I am sure you look great, but janey you already look fabulous in your bday suit ;)

  5. Grace says:

    Because I am so complicated….I am going to categorize my goals into different parts.

    Part 1: Much of last year was dedicated to achieving the “firsts” of many movements. Ie. 1st strict pull up, ring dip, hspu etc. My Crossfit resolutions this year are going to build on these first time reps and increase them to atleast 5.

    So….

    1) String 5 HSPUs
    2) String 5 Strict Pull Ups
    3) String 5 Ring dips

    And….be able to finish a WOD with these movements, and within the TIME CAP if applicable.

    Part 2: Strength Goals

    1) (Continued from last year) MUST achieve a 300lb Deadlift!
    2) 185lb overhead lift. – I don`t care how I get this weight over my head… OHS, Jerk, Push Press….as long as it gets over my head!
    3) Improve the beloved SNATCH technique and snatch 125 lbs.

    Part 3: Take a Crossfit course and obtain another certification.

  6. Bon-Crusher says:

    Alright so 5 things…..

    1) Drop my weight to at no more the 170 lbs w/ a body fat % of 10-13.
