My goals for 2011:

1) Compete. Completed.
2) 600 pound deadlift. Completed.
3) 400 bench. NOT completed. Struggled with strains from heavy raw lifting. Looking to use the RAM to train heavy and beef this lift up.
4) 240 bodyweight. NOT completed. Working on it right now.

My only goal was to stay healthy, and I've done that. Now I may be competing again, I'll have a think of some and write back later.

Lose 100 pounds - FAIL. I've gained 15
OHP 100 kgs - achieved, but not repeated
Bench 120 kgs x 10 - FAIL, but I've not been focussing on it
... the fails keep coming, actually. I'll leave it there.
