Starting Date: 01/01/13 || Goal Date: 01/01/14
Weight goals -- 190lbs bw (end year goal... Want to spend the majority between 205 and 215)
Training goals

Deadlift: 1 x 365 lbs --> 1 x 500 lbs
Bench: 1 x 185 lbs --> 1 x 245 lbs

Injury and training for a tough Mudder really hurt my strength gains so I used my end of year personal bests instead of my year maxes 
No injuries, no bitchassness this year! Hitting that press goal is going to be one of the hardest things ever :S

First week of no carbs complete. I got really stupid last hour of work today, serious brainfog. Could not hold a train of thought to save my life.
Just to be clear I'm doing CKD keto, basically this variation of it. I was almost scared away by the bullshit banner at the top but I figured I might at least give it a shot. I tried Leangains last year with good results, I want to try something different this year.
Basically I'll be eating some carbs on weekends.
Pretty bad day at the gym. Had a pretty bad day last time too, but I figured that was just due to the break I took over new years, coupled with the excessive drinking. Before new years I managed to backsquat 100kg and front squat 80kg. Two days ago I could barely, baaarely manage 60kg front squat, and today I could baaarely manage 80kg backsquat. Depressing.
Good news is I've started benching and deadlifting again and my arms appear to be healed. Score. I especially missed the deadlifts. I don't appear to have lost any significant strength in my legs or back, but christ my grip has gone completely to shit. There will be no opening of jars for anyone for a couple weeks at least.
Also today, for the second time in my gym career someone asked me to spot his bench. Second rep he whinced "help!" and I got it up for him. Then he did three more.
Two curlbros in the squat racks. Was just the one last time. They're... fucking.
Anyway, have a good weekend tlhf, I'm in the middle of cooking my last nocarb meal for the week. Mashed beef with eggs, onions, cottage cheese and bacon. With emphasis on bacon. My whole apartment reeks of it.
Reeks!

I'm out of posts until 2000! Might not post for a while, or I might waste it before I figure out what to write for 2k.
Also urghhh hip flexor problems, probably doing something wrong during squats. I've read around for advice and I'm stretching it out, icing it, and squatting less @ 65 lbs while focusing on my knees not going forward or inward. Hopefully it won't aggravate it? I read conflicting articles on whether or not to keep squatting.
Still happy cause today I almost benched 3x5 of 55 lbs~ failed on the last set and rep but that means I'm actually getting there. That and I managed to do 3x5 -60 lbs on assisted parallel grip pull-up. Can't wait until I can flyyyy

Goals
Weight goals -- 125 lbs (or whatever the number will be when I have a flat tummy, the number doesn't matter so much)

Bench Press: 50 lbs -> 85 lbs
Squat: 90 lbs -> 120 lbs
Deadlift: 90 lbs -> 160 lbs
Assisted pull ups (wide and parallel grip): -60 lbs -> 0 lbs
Learn how to power clean and not hit myself in the face!

Age: 27 || Height: 5'8" or m/cm || Weight: 145lbs/65kg
Starting Date: 01/01/2013 || Goal Date: 06/01/2013
Weight goals -- Bulk up to 150-155 eventually
Training goals -- Continue climbing hopefully to V8-9 level, up my dips to +100 kg, maintain leg strength (utilizing high step ups with weights -- don't need any hypertrophy on my legs haha)
Nutrition goals -- Continue eating Paleo + rice. Minimize sugar.
Sleep goals -- TO BE BEFORE 12 AM!!!
Misc/stress goals -- Soft tissue work every night would be good
Dips to +100kg go!
8 x bw, 75 lbs/34kg x 6, 125 lbs / 56kg x 5, then 1x5 & 5x6 & 1x5 of 145 lbs/65kg
So dipping my bodyweight for about 6 reps of 5 sets. Not bad but not where I want to be I guess. I had gotten 8 reps of 135 lbs when I dipped up to the 190 lbs / 86 kg. So hopefully drive the 65kg up to 10 reps, then work with around 75kg or around 160-165 lbs.
Sticking between about 5-10 reps because I need more upper body hypertrophy for this I am thinking, otherwise I would be working down to 3-6 rep range more often.

Hazel I'd keep squatting light as long as the pain isn't bad. FOAM ROLL/TENNISBALL and stretch everyday! I wouldn't ice.

Hehe, I like the way you think decaf, unfortunately eating enough during school is a pain in the ass. I already bring two bags because of how much room my gym stuff takes up. This includes my food of course. I know I'll aim for 85kg eventually but I don't know how realistic it would be for at least the first half of 2013. I'm hoping to squat way more too but it seems like that is the one thing I'm most terrible at. So here's hoping that the weight gain from 69 -> 77 will help.
Edit: @hazelynut, I know I had the exact same issue when I first started learning to squat. In fact if I looked far enough into the 2011 thread I think I'd find my post asking for help regarding hip flexor pain. Turns out they were just horribly weak and the imbalance between hip flexor strength and well... strength everywhere else was too great. It also doesn't help that I used to do a ton of sitting as this leads to extreme hip tightness which also contributed to pain. So as decaf suggested, rolling them out with a tennis ball/baseball or foam roller and continuing to squat will in the long run solve the issue, just gotta fight through the pain but do it smartly, if it's a pain that worsens don't hesitate to seek help from a professional physiotherapist.

Hip flexor pain can be due to a lot of different reasons. It depends what part of the movement it hurts on and what other movements that it hurts on what I would recommend. I'd need a more detailed answer to make a guess.
If stretching and soft tissue work fixes it then good though.
