I looked at a pic of myself from 12 months ago and the only real NOTICEABLE gains I've made are on chest. And that's mostly from incorporating handstands, inversions and other bodyweight things into my work. Other than that it's just refining at this point. A little more definition here, a little more size overall, shed a little fat there to get the resting 6 pack going.
I think the big thing for me in 2019 will be dietary more than anything since I'm tired of eating out every day. So I'll be cooking more at home.
- Planning to dive back heavy into yoga since I haven't gone much since June (car wreck + classes are expensive). - Got back into soccer in the 2nd half of this year which really changed up how I work out since I had lost a lot of athletic functionality from focusing exclusively on lifting. - picking basketball back up in late January so that's going to require another shift in the workout plan but I haven't quite figured out what specifically yet.
Thinking about getting certified as well. I already train a few folks and it's pretty fun to see what does/doesn't work to get people to their goals. It'd be nice to have a more substantial base of knowledge behind it beyond just what I've absorbed on my own over the years.
edit: as far as goals, the only real one I had was to learn a proper form handstand. and i ended up having to learn it twice this year. the 2nd time was far more rewarding than the first since it was an ongoing test to see how i was recovering from my wreck. hopefully next year I'll be able to hit a Zombie Press or a Scorpion Handstand. i'm trying to be like those folks on IG that do all the crazy yoga flow combos.
