New Year's resolution?
So, traditionally, on the first of the year people set a personal goal for themselves, called a 'New Year's Resolution'. What's yours?
I've decided this year that I'm going to earn 100K, the easy way.

It's easy to quit smoking,probably did it at least a hundred times.Actually I found it easier to be a non-smoker who slipped occasionally cause I'm not a quitter.

Avoid heavy duty political discussion here.
Not easy but can be done.
Doesn't help that Nathan gave us our own little corner.

I made a resolution 10 years ago that I have managed to keep. I resolved not to make any resolution in the up and coming years. So far, so good.

I would like to be more organized, keep better records, and to get my benchpress up to 400lbs raw.

...I have met a couple guys who have hit 400 or more...I work out at home now, so I haven't been in contact with too many in the past few years since I gave up the gym--I've stopped going for max's ever since I tweaked my neck a few years ago (while benching I might add, lol). Keep up the goals man, you've got my respect...
