Aims for Spence's daily Conditioning program and Bottom Level

Push-ups
I have successfully completed my first goal by the beginning of 2007 at the end of December which was 50 push-ups in one swift repetition but i have to physically push myself still at 50. I'm setting a target by end of this month that i will successfully have at least 60 or hopefully 70 push-ups in one swift repetition.

Chin-ups & pull-ups
I'm very new to chin-ups and pull-ups in my daily regime as i have only just acquired a pull-up bar which helps alot with training indoors so my repetitions using the bar are quite pants at the moment. Even at bottom level I could and can just about make 20 chin-ups and 10 pull-ups in one repetition before i physically cant do any more reps. I'm setting a goal by the end of next month to have at least 20 pull-ups and 30 to 35 chin-ups in one repetition.

Planche (muscle up)
Planche is a big goal right now and for my conditioning, i have been practicing a lot lately (probally even while you read this hehe), its weird that i cant do alot of reps of chin-ups and pull ups using the bar and i can successfully Muscle up (planche) from a set marker on my wall using no momentum just strength with the very tips of my toes touching my floor and the bar being just above of my eye line, but using no force of my body or using any momentum to proceed into the full muscle up i just cant quite do (yet). I have progressed to the point where i can almost nearly planche using consistent techniques like Negative muscle ups and explosive muscle ups. My set aim by the end of next month is to successfully muscle up from a hanging position using no momentum but just strength that will be a very hard task, but im very determined.

Sit-Ups and Stomach Crunches
I can successfully complete 400 stomach crunches in sets of 4 repetitions (100 each rep). My goal by the end of next month will be to add another hundred stomach crunches to each repetition. Bringing the total to 200 each repetition and 800 stomach crunches all together in one regime.

quadrupedal walking
I can successfully quadrupedal walk the wider length of the Bottom Level Conditioning Car Park and the length of Whitstable Car parks sea wall. I'm not to sure on the total metres of the sea wall and the Bottom Level car park. Im very pleased with how swiftly i can quad walk backwards up a set stairs, ive been practicing this everyday and it shows that repetition defently pays of in conditioning and parkour hehe. I'm setting no physical aim including repetitions, Instead im going to set an aim by the end of next month to be able to improve quadrupedal walks stamina being able to complete these lengths without tiring my body out completely.

What are bottom levels members aims for there conditioning Regimes?

Also a personal message to Bottom Level-
At the Moment i am struggling to improvise on my planning to attend and actually condition with my friends At Bottom Level, its a bit of a hectic time at the moment with my college, education and revision which i see as being just as important as my conditioning and my parkour training, my family and visiting and being with my girl and best friend, helping her through her very hard time, with her physical health and our relationship. Im by no means making any excuses. But I'd just like to personally apologize to you guys for not being able to attend 100% of the time as i know its quite a team effort, I personally apologize to everyone. I'm very satisfied and happy the way my conditioning is coming along at the moment and even though im not there with you, dosent meen im not conditioning very HARD!!!. I really hope i can see you all again soon and i generally cant wait till im back and training with you all again. Keep it up guys.
