I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

- either get in control of my terrible spending habits, or become robusto so i don't have to worry about them! (probably the first option)
- get in shape (FOR REALZ THIS TIME)
- have fun and enjoy life, there's more to it then just sitting at my computer

Lose 40 pounds(at least 15 by end of April when I got to NYC)
Play poker again
Be a winning poker player
Bankroll Management/Don't cash out like a donk
And become more sociable, I have a problem were I genuinely don't like a lot of people(most people are dumb and don't really offer anything in life) and I have a hard time not just blowing off a lot of people because I honestly don't care. But I am will try harder to pretend I do.

i need to live healthier. i strength train a lot but i need to do more aerobic exercise. plus i work at an italian restaurant so guess what my [free] dinners are? yeah...doughs and pastas. carb-heaven. but it's hard to eat healthy when you get a free shift meal.
also i resolve to continue not smoking. i quit in april of this year. so almost 9 months i guess.
i'm going to focus on my school work more this semester. i have to retake one of my classes because i didn't make a C in it. so disappointed with myself.
poker-wise i dunno. i've never set a goal for myself before. so i guess i'll start low and shoot for 25NL by the end of the year. i've almost beaten 5NL right now. but hopefully come summer i can really grind it out and hit 25 by the end of summer. that is assuming i don't suck at 10NL. i dunno.

poker wise: grind 75$ on ftp to 1k$ by end of year
life wise: stay in shape adding 10 lbs of muscle by end of year. not cheat or make stupid fucking mistakes in future relationships. learn bout twenty new songs on guitar n play in local bars hopefully meeting that future relationships. a tip for anyone: an easy way to get pussy is to learn to sing n play guitar at the same time. gets girls wet. one last goal. to get a 3point grades wise second semester in college

lol nice.
Dropping bodyfat is easy. That's just a matter of energy consumption/expenditure. I'll be eating less and engaging in high intensity exercise again. Short periods of high intensity exercise burns substantially more calories than the same amount of time of cardio so no need to waste my time jogging or some shit.
Video games is what I'll do between bangings.

If you're performing the reps correctly then bench will most likely be the hardest and deadlift the easiest. There are some people for whom that's not the case due to having unusual torso and extremity relations.
200lbs on each of the power lifts is ridic easy though. Even if you're naturally a skinny weak ass nancy girl with a fast metabolism. You just gotta put in the the time and effort.

6) aye, 1:20. cant set ur goals high enough. If I dont start training hard soon, 1:35 would be realistic tho 
7) Iīm in germany, our highest peak is at 2962m, which counts as roughly 3000m . Iīm already planning a trip to the french alps to morzine and les gets, but thatīs supposed to be a freeride trip.
