I want to start by saying, it's not a bad thing to have goals that might take you a year to achieve, so don't be afraid to set seemingly unrealistic goals.

I don't know how old this is, the thumbs are pointing up because it helps engage your lats. You are driving your hands into the floor. Think of it as trying to do a face-down lat pull-down.
