A Look At Your Progress
This second half of the semester we are going to hand over some of the control of programing your workouts to you and you will begin to set up your program based on your individual goals. For this weeks blog I want you to take a close look at your measurement sheet and analyze your midpoint results.
Answer the following questions:
1. Are they headed in the direction you expect and want?
2. Is there anything that surprised you about your results?
3. Is there anything that disappointed you about your results?
Use the information from your midpoint measurements to set realistic goals for each measurement for the second quarter.
I will give you time in class this week to complete this assignment, but expect your measurement sheet to be completed with goals by the end of the week.

Everything has been better and I think my body strength is well done .
My lifting weight results suprised me cause I didnt know I was that strong .
What dissapointed me was when my knees are really sore and I can barely squat .
1) Yes, I can see improvements and a decrease in times;
ReplyDelete2) I was surprised to see a two-second decrease in my 100 meter dash;
3) Nothing on the measure sheet disappointed me, but sometimes after I participate in class I am sore. I guess I just have to figure out my limits and maxes, and push myself to further those with time.

Sammy Myers
1. Definitely
ReplyDelete2. Yeah! I must have been doing something wrong last year, because this time around all of my maxes have increased by a lot. I also somehow managed to chop a few seconds off of my 400m and added a few more push-ups and sit-ups.
3. I'd like to get the motion down for powercleans, increase my push press max and get better at sprinting, but overall I am pleased with my results
Claire Richters Pd. 2
1) Yes I have seen improvement in my strength and muscle size

ReplyDelete2. I was supprised at my sit up improvement. I went from 47 situps to 63 situps.Also my back squats increased from 125 to 180 with proper form.

Yes, My endurance is still fairly bad. I hope to increase that.
Nicole Golabi,PD 8
1.) Most, if not all, of my maxes are improving, slowly but surely. I'm happy with the increased maxes, and I will push myself harder to improve more.
ReplyDelete2.) I'm surprised by how much body fat I've lost while still maintaining a healthy body weight, but no complaints.
3.) I am disappointed in my deadlift and powercleans, but they've still improved compared to before.
Oliver Salter, PD.2
1) Yes, my body is a bit bigger since the beginning of the year and I believe I can grow more if I make the right program.
ReplyDelete2) I'm pretty surprised about my squat max. I'm also surprised at the rate I'm getting bigger at,
3) I'm disappointed that I'm getting bigger in the wrong places. I want to grow in the chest and core, so my torso part of the body. Getting bigger in other places is pretty nice though.

ReplyDelete2. In some exercises I have improved a lot so yes
3. I am unhappy with my bench press because i can't seem to do it properly
Ruchi Nanda
Pd.8
1. I think that I am headed in the direction I want to because I have increased by 15 pounds on most lifts
ReplyDelete2. I am surprised that anything not involving weights like push ups did not improve
3. I am disappointed that I got one second slower in the 100m run and I now do 4 less pushups
Period 7

Tingchen Shi
Period 2
1. I'm headed in the right direction because all of my exercises have improved.
ReplyDelete2. I'm surprised with the quick improvements.
3. I am disappointed with my pushups for 60 seconds.
Alexander Kristiansen P6
1. I'm heade in the the right direction because the majority of my exercises have improved.
ReplyDelete2. I am suprised that my improvements in my push press, bench press, and squats have increase by a huge amount.
3. i am dissapointed that my measurements in my arms have not increased.
1) Yes, I believe I am heading in the right direction that I want to go in. So far I have learned many the basic components of the basic workout. This will allow me to have a strong foundation to build-up on.
ReplyDelete2) I'm actually really surprised on how fast I have progressed in only about 2 months: in the beginning I couldn't lift much weight on any of the exercises, now I can do much more than that.
3) One of the things I'm disappointed about is the fact that the average number of push-ups I can do has decreased. However, this can be easily remedied with more practice and training.
Jason Chang
Pd. 7
1) For the most part my mid point results are heading in the right direction. I'm getting stronger in almost all the areas I had hoped to or at least maintaining strength.
ReplyDelete2) I was very surprised that my hang clean max increased as much as it did but the focus I placed on improving my form really helped. I was also surprised that my bench press max increased by about 20lbs because it is a lift I have on and off plateaued on since I started doing it.
3) I was disappointed my squat didn't increase by as much as I wanted but my form improved since I put more focus on getting deeper.
Josh Hollman
Period 7
1. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my results. I'm improving in weights and I think that it'll improve more. I want my body measurements to get a little better though, but overall everything is fine.
ReplyDelete2. I was surprised at my deadlift improvement. I didn't expect it to improve by that much. I improved by a drastic amount, and I hope I'll be able to improve by that much again.
3. My benchpress didn't impress me as much as my deadlift. I thought I was getting stronger in my benching, but I only improve by 5 pounds.
Daniel Yook
Pd. 2
1. after looking at my sheet I am satisfied with my results. I seem to have improved a lot ever since I first stepped into the weight room.
ReplyDelete2. I was surprised at how much more weight I could do on the bench press. i can now life twice as much.
3. i was disappointed by my deadlift results. but it is understandable since i have bad form.
Alba Sarria pd. 8
1. I do not think my expectations match the result. So far, there's little changes on the overall appearance of my body, and my weight loss is minimum.
ReplyDelete2. Little improvements were shown on my results. I am neither surprised nor disappointed.
3. Overall I wasn't satisfied by the results. However, I plan to set bigger goals and adjust my weight training plan in order to get a lot more improvements.
Peikai WU
Period 8
1) My numbers have all seemed to increase a small amount. The workouts have been relatively non -targeted so I am happy with the overall step forward my strength has taken. My leg strength in particular is increasing quite steadily since I hadn't ever done any weights with legwork before.
ReplyDelete2. I was surprised by my benching weight increasing much because I have been focusing more on legwork and less on chest because I think I am heavily upper body focused already. Despite this my bench weight has also been increasing at the same rate as my other numbers.
3. My power clean numbers have always been sub par relative to my other numbers and have not improved as much as I would like.
Howard Sun
Period 2
1. no because my numbers decreased
ReplyDelete2. yes because my numbers decreased
3. no bcause my numbers decreased
Stephen Bray

By the way the answer above this with no name is Jamie Attanasio pd8
ReplyDelete1) I am pretty happy with my results that i have recorded down on my sheet. Most of the results have been positive and are getting better!
ReplyDelete2) One thing that suprised me was i got 13 seconds less on the 400m, i kept pushing myself to do better and i reached my goal!
3)I am not dissapointed im really happy that i got to achieve good scores.
Sam Dejong
period 6
1) I'm heade in the the right direction because the majority of my exercises have improved.
ReplyDelete2. I am suprised that my improvements in my push press, bench press, and squats have increased.
3. i am dissapointed that my my arms didnt get bigger.
Urgy Eado
pd. 6
1. Yes. I have noticed an improvement in almost all of my lifts, and an increased endurance during lifting and running. I think my lifts will continue improving/
ReplyDelete2. Yes. I wasn't expecting to improve as much as I did. For example, I gained 20 pounds on my deadlifts max, and I was only hoping for about 10 or 15.
3. Yes. I unfortunately wasn't able to imrpove my bench max, which stayed the same. I would like to increase that by at least 5 pounds by the end of the semester.
Danny Mack, Period 2
Delete1) i feel as though i am heading in the direction that i want to. some of my numbers went up including the squat and dead lift dramatically. however i am not as pleased with my bench press and pull ups, which either stayed the same or went down.
ReplyDelete2) there is nothing that really surprised me about these results because my goal was to get my legs and core stronger, i was just kind of hoping that my bench and pull ups numbers would increase, even a little.
3) i am not disappointed because this is what i expected to happen, but for next quarter i would like to increase my bench by at least 5 pounds as well as increase my squat even more, to get on the board.
Adam Kaplan
pd.2
1) I am happy with my results and I think that I am heading in the direction that I want to.
ReplyDelete2) I am surprised that me deadlift and squat improved by so much.

Tyler King
Pd.2
Daniel Yarmovsky
ReplyDeletePeriod 2
1. Although I am heading in the direction I want to in terms of the weights I can lift, I am still not improving my cardiovascular endurance and diet.
2. I am surprised that my push press got me as high up on the board as it did, and I am very close to a 200 pound bench press.
3. I am disappointed that my pull up max is lower than last year's, and I haven't been working on it as much as I should.
1. yes i am heading in the right direction
ReplyDelete2.i am suprised at my sqaut max it has improved alot since last year
3.i am dissapointed in my push press max because it has decrecesed i think because of football
