New Year's Resolutions And Goals

Just wondering what everyone else is planning to work on or improve in the coming year. Personally, I’m going to:

-Train weaknesses more (hamstrings, calves, abs, biceps, traps)
-Squat 1-2" below parallel on every rep
-Take 531 deload seriously with Neural Charge Workouts and massive amounts of eating
-Experiment more with pulling/pushing heavier (100-130% of max) weight on top-half movements BEFORE the main-lift worksets on week 3 to jump-start the CNS (531 related)
-50-100 Band-Pull Aparts every day (superset with below)
-45 Scapular Push-Ups every day (superset with above)
-Sort out posture/pelvic tilt/internally rotated femurs
*** Debating on running the 4-week program in “Neanderthal No More Part 4”
*** Debating on doing DeFranco’s Agile 8 3-4 days a week

Spend 3-5 hours studying each day.

Leave enough time to enjoy with the lady.

Goals for the main lifts 1 year from today:
Deadlift: 425 lbs for reps (3-5 clean)
Squat: 315 lbs for reps (3-5 clean)
Bench: 245 lbs for reps (3-5 clean)
OHP: 165 lbs for reps (3-5 clean)

Keep training hard, fellas, and stay healthy. And ladies, should they be reading this.
