100 x 40
This is a list I am working on of 100 goals/feats/milestones. It is loosely based on the infamous 60/60 of Chris Rice. He’s got 60+ goals he has set for himself to achieve by the time he reaches 60, and appears to be well on his way. This list is more of just a list of potential goals. I set 40 as the guideline for when I want them achieved. This list is more for my reference and will be added to over time. It may even change in structure. The only rule I will make about it is that I can’t take away from it. If I don’t make a goal, then I don’t make it. It sits on the list as a lesson. I probably won’t employ Chris’s selection method either, a dart board. For me, and my early stage in the game, it’s more of a progression. You can also see, I’m not done yet. I’m still trying to come up with the last 30 or so goals. That’s ok by me too. Feel free to browse, comment even offer a suggestion to add to it.

[…] age 40 (2019) – see my 100 X 40 list, this idea is stolen directly and with permissions from Chris Rice. These will become refined […]

add some crossfit benchmark with some good numbers (sub 4 min Fran for instance).
on October 4, 2007 on 4:54 pm
Sounds like a challenging list, ive read chris rice’s list and thought about making my own as well,good luck to you. ive got a few you could add if your interested;
1 lift the inch(very dependent on equipment, though you could train on a thick dumbbell and then just use someone elses to do it),
2 complete the long cycle, the full 10rpm 20 minutes http://www.americankettlebellclub.com/blog/?p=52,
3 achieve one of the ranks at the world kettlebell club http://www.worldkettlebellclub.com/ranks.htm
4 enter a marathon
5 enter a triathalon
there are a lot of things you can do, its just what interests you as it can be hard to be motivated by some things

Hey, if you really want to challenge yourself… do couple of those in let’s say one month. If you squat 700 tomorrow and you run triathlon in 5 years you will have very different abilities and body.
To run triathlon today an be able to squat 700, DL some huge amount of iron two days later and do one hand pullups next day… That’s what I would call CTI, close to impossible.

Good suggestions in those. Thanks for that. I will be adding a few of them to the list this weekend, I agree that by doing a few today and a few in five years, it may be due to a very different body, that’s why I’m going to work a few randomly selected ones each month. Still, changing the body is part of the whole point. You’re right though, I’m trying to remain a generalist and don’t want to give msyelf the chance to specialize.
In my ideal “magical” world, I would be able to do them all back-to-back-to-back-to-back at the end but I think that is probably totally impossible. No reason not to try.

Hopefully you two check back ’cause I have a couple questions:
Petr, are there any kind of bench mark times to go with those workouts that are written down anywhere?
Elliot, I’m looking at the American Kettlebell Club site and I am left with a couple questions do they have a complete listing of the their rules posted?
on October 8, 2007 on 2:23 pm
not sure, you may have to join their forum or email them, i havent joined, think you should go for master. there are videos on youtube i think.
on October 8, 2007 on 9:17 pm
I tried to contact them, it’s only been a few hours so hopefully I’ll hear back. I think I understand the Jerk/Snatch now. It’s max reps jerk with two bells followed immediately by max reps snatch with one bell and only one hand swith. The long cycle makes sense. The one thing I think I still need to understand before I pick my rank is, do you have to perform both exercises up to the goal standard and if so how close? In the videos on their site they only focus on the Jerk/Snatch. I just want to know what I am signing up for before I get started.

only thing i can find to help was in the blog, http://www.americankettlebellclub.com/blog/?p=29 she only did snatches, but they will definitely be able to tell you more
on October 9, 2007 on 5:10 am
Yeah, I found one other case, a guy where he just missed with the jerks and snatches. I’ll let you know when I know more.

I see you’ve completed the list – psycho! A very difficult list to say the least. I look forward to seeing your progress over time. I ended up with a few things left still to do on the 60-60 list so I’ll keep plugging away on them. I have 3 items on the new Five While Alive list now and a couple ideas for the last two. I’m amazed at the number of people who seem to have read or heard of my little list! I’m flattered and hope everyone enjoys there personal journey as much as I have and continue to do.
on October 9, 2007 on 8:01 pm
Your list is known by a lot fo people. Respected by all, as far as I can tell. I just have the privledge to be the first with a blatant rip off. I think I’m gonna have to have somewhere to write down ideas as they come to me. There were a few that weren’t quite ready for this list and couple that just never quite made it.
on October 10, 2007 on 8:58 am
I don’t know if you would be interested in this or not but my 60 items continued to grow as I found new things that seemed worthwhile to include – I think at last count it had like 83 things on it. It will continue to grow and I’ll continue to chip away at it – not only by adding new items but by trying to advance those I have already checked off. It’s always about the journey, not the destination. So you could have the long term goal of doing 100 out of however many items you feel appropriate. Your time frame is long enough for you to find several different interests you may want to pursue – the list must somehow be flexible enough to account for that.

Nice blog man. Do you still have the bending goals in mind? If so, I could help you out with some of the basics. Not sure if you know who I am on the GripBoard, but if you’re a regular there my name is “bencrush.” Just let me know man.
on March 26, 2009 on 1:39 pm
Ben,
Sorry for the delay. the short answer is “I don’t know”.
I need to completely rebuild that list after my injury.I’ve never been able to settle into grip stuff. I’m all ears for suggestions.
