Goal Check In

[LtL]

I don't really have long term goals that I can remember. Some of the shorter term ones:

Qualify for nationals totalling 520kg's+ @90kg's BW - DONE. 530@88.75
3pps bench - now done for a double
200kg's squat - done 190kg's for 3, should at least double 200 this weekend
227.5kg's (500lb's) DL - Failed two months ago after pulling 220. Should hit this next week.
Move up to the 100kg's weightclass - Well and truly done

That's an impressive list Al. Great work!

My goals are more long term, they are things I want to do by the time I turn 50 years old. Only two years to go...

Goal #1
I want to be 200 lbs with 10% bodyfat. This year I cut down to 220 lbs and looked pretty decent with a rough outline of abz. My goal is to cut down to 220 lbs every year and look better than the year before.

Goal #2
I want to squat 500 lbs and deadlift 500 lbs for reps. This year I took my squats from 400 lb max to somewhere around 425 lbs max. If I stay on course I think I can hit this. My deads haven't made any significant growth and I plan to prioritize them more this year.

Ok so this sounds about right, I only have a few months so I won't be aiming too high:

1) Learn the (PL) equipment
2) Squat 260kg - Bench 180kg - Deadlift 260kg
3) Stay at around 90kg bodyweight
4) Stay healthy.
5) Keep attending the cardio/aerobic classes, even if it's just to leer at younger women.

Thats a goal i have myself. I try to time my gym session to coinside with the cardio bunnies coming out of their spin class, dripping with sweat....

Well, that helps me feel young.

Goals

Hit BW of 230 - 21 pounds to go, dropped 15 so far since May
5PPS Deadlift - 435 currently
Hit 2PPS bench - 10 pounds to go
Hit 3PPS squat - 255 Currently
Fix Squat Depth - done
Compete in Strongman - done

The iron goals may have to wait a little while as I really need to drop my bodyweight another 20 pounds. Once I start in on a real bulk the iron will progress quickly I think.

My goals for 2011 are to work towards a 500lb deadlift, 450lb squat, and 400lb bench by my 40th birthday (July 2012). So far I've done a 495lb deadlift, 405lb squat and 335lb bench (but should be good for 350). I am also working towards dropping some bodyweight and getting in better overall condition.

So far I'm on track for the lifts, but I got off-track on the bodyweight and conditioning... I'm trying to bring that up to speed now, but it's sometimes hard to focus on those when you're smashing heavy weights and having a blast at it.

I planned to make 300 pounds for DL and Squat and I did that.

So for end of 2011:
Squat 130kgx5
DL: 130x5
Bench: 95x5
OHP: 65x5: 75kg for single rep
Clean: 80kg for a single rep
Chins: 15
Dips: 8 with 30kg weight added
Rows: 75x5
Pull ups: 10
Run 6km without stopping!

Lifting goals --

Military Press: 185 x 1 [or 155 x 5]...................... current - 130 x 7
Bench Press: 225 x 1 [or 190 x 5]....................... current - 155 x 8
Squats: 315 x 1 [or 265 x 5].............................. current - 210 x 6
Deadlift: 385 x 1 [or 325 x 5]............................. current - 255 x 8
Pull ups: BW x 15............................................. current - BW x 9

I am still testing waters for low-rep training (at 5 rep range now), and may not get to the singles. So I set out equivalent weights based on target 1RM using Jim Wendler's formula.

Physique goals --
Put on a few more lbs over next 7-8 weeks, then cut out the flab over rest of the year to get to a solid 170 lbs bodyweight, with < 12% BF. In case of conflict between physique and lifting goals, lifting wins.
Currently, weighing in at 182 lbs at about 16% BF.

I only started in late July, so its hard to say if I am on track or not. But if I bust my a$$ in the gym, these goals may not be unrealistic.
