EricMilfeld Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I think if you make your goals known to others, the added pressure motivates you to perform with a sense of urgency, which almost guarantees success. So tell the group what you're going to accomplish in the near future. So here it goes: I really want to be able to bend the 220 kilo bar, without taking half the day, like I normally do on tough bends. My goal date: Christmas.

David Horne Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Eric, Sounds good. Mine is to do enough to win the bending in both next years British and European grip champs. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Walker Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 To stay injury free is my biggest goal. While staying injury free, I want to be able to hammer a grade 5 any place, any time by early next year. Rick Walker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongmitts Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 My goal is to out bend Eric Milfeld. Really, I just want to get my injured pec up to par so I can finish off some decent sized nails with a chest crush instead of a leg crush.

SHRUG Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 My goal is to fully U the RED NAIL before I turn 21. I am 20 now and my birthday is January 7th, so it is coming up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Short term a grade 8. Medium term a Red. Long term a cut Red. But generally to be a better all around bender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan McMillan Posted November 27, 2003 Share Posted November 27, 2003 I'm still working on getting some consistency with my double overhand bends, would like to build up the bending prowness to the point were any 60'd nail fails. In the far flung future bending some challenge bars and the red are right up there in goals. Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bballdad Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 For a short term goal I'd be pleased to bend a 60d! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonL Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I just bended a white nail. I would like to bend 2 white nails. When should I move up another level?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryduty Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 My goal is to fully U-Shape an Ironmind Red nail before my twin brother, Babygrip, does! JasonL. great job on bending the Ironmind White nail! The next step most benders take from the Ironmind White nail is to bend Ironmind's next toughest nail, the Green. So, you might want to try the Green nail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricMilfeld Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 My new short term goal: the grade 8 by Feb. 1st. After this I'll choose a date by which to bend the RED. How's everyone else doing on those goals you made in this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Edgin Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I'd like to consistently bend my 60d bright commons as a short term goal. The grade 5 is something I'm trying for by June, and we'll see how the red nail behaves in December Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
