  1. Ohkay, super new here... Had a variety of things I wanted to focus on, but had to tailor it to the access I have to equipment and what I can probably realistically manage in this first 6 week challenge. Can always ramp things up in the next one. GOALS 1. Planking -progressive program of 3/day planks, starting Day One on 30secs and building up to Final Day on 3:30. 2. Bench Press -current 1RM 65kgs. Want to boost it to 70kgs. 3. Pull Ups -improving my strength to achieve on Final Day 3x Unassisted Widegrip Pull Ups. 4. Squats&Lunges -take my program to 100 Squats & 100 Lunges (30min Time Cap) @25kgs. .Reason for plank goal: I believe in a strong core, and it will help with my pelvic stability, which I need to work on before I can properly Oly lift heavy. .Reason for bench press goal: I think it would be badass. Original goal was 75kgs (bodyweight) but raising my 1RM by 10kgs in 6 weeks might be a little bit ambitious.... I'd like to achieve all of these goals if I can rather than over-face myself. .Reason for pull up goal: Also badass. I can sometimes do 1 super-fugly leg-flailing pull up. I want to be able to do 3 really nice legit ones by the last day of week 6. .Reason for squats&lunges goal: While I can have fun going heavy with bench press, I have discovered (from my stint at crossfit) that I have extremely flexible hips, coupled with a hyper-mobile joining of the hips to the spine, which is currently not completely in balance and the surrounding supporting muscles are not working insync as well as they should. I was advised by my osteopath that I should avoid heavy lifting, but should keep squatting and lunging and so on, focusing on beautiful execution above all else, to help the muscles lengthen/tighten/adjust and so bring my hips back into the alignment that will allow for good strong even positions in weightlifting. GOAL NUMBER 5 I have been in a relationship that has turned toxic. I want to achieve 6 weeks of Cold Turkey No Contact with the other person, to give myself a reasonable chance at becoming strong again, and to remain strong in the face of any further dealings with them. Things got way off the path of being happy together, but there is an almost 'addicted' element to us that makes it hard to break free, and it's become impossible to work anything out that feels okay to both sides... I will not go back to that amount of sad, over and over again. While I don't feel like I can legitimately say "I want him out of my life for good", I can admit that I need some serious Me Time, and that he does too... I want to do that with as much determination as I will put into my other goals. From the end of the 6 weeks, I will see where I want to go from there. We both have a lot of things we need to work on, in order to be in a relationship together once more... Wish me luck, this one is the scariest challenge, to me...
