Fit For Forty Updated Goals
Due to a knee injury playing football a few months back, which doesn’t look like it’s going to get better anytime soon, I’ve decided to take out a few challenges that my knee currently won’t allow me to do.
❌ 40kg overhead squat x5
❌ 5 pistol squats each leg
❌ 2m+ standing broad jump
❌ 200m AirRunner under 30 seconds
Surprisingly, box jumps are fine on my knee. Well, not 100%, but they’re okay enough to do, and squats are manageable, so I’ll still be working towards both of those goals.
If my knee gets better before January, I’ll look to work towards the others again, but as it stands that’s not looking likely.
Sometimes you have to change your goals and that’s totally fine. There’s no point trying to force them and potentially making yourself worse.
I’m also changing my target weight from 85kg to 88kg or under. I think that will be a better weight for me to still achieve the strength goals whilst being happy with my weight and the way I look.
Still 22 challenges to achieve, so plenty of work to do before turning 40 💪
