Targets for 2011

[Mellos]

200 squat is crackpipe baldy - I LIKE IT!!!!

deadlift goal would come automatically if you get the squat.

Just forcus on squat.

That would also make your biceps bigger.

SQUAT!

Fuck, i need to squat today.

I am squatting today and even roped in a an injured buddy to apply my wraps. Might do a walk out with 180kg just to see what that feels like.

200kg is a bit of crackpipe, but not impossible. I can visualise squatting it, just need to do it.

visualize?
I can visualize squatting an elephant, but can i do it?
come to think of it, it never tried

If you cant see yourself doing it, then its not going to happen!
Please excuse my enthusiasm, working for a US company is rubbing off on me.

110 snatch and 135 Clean and Jerk are from now on my goals for next year.
Milestones I'm looking forward to nail on the way include 100kg snatch, 100kg push press, 110kg powerclean and 80kg powersnatch. I guess I might also have to squat somewhere around 160-170 to get those numbers.

Another goals is to not drop out of the top 50 on the strength table .

85kg powersnatch nailed, so that is one subgoal reached .

For 2011:

Put in a solid year of training - yes
Lift in another comp - yes
PL total 450kg - not even close
Squat 150kg - no
Bench 100kg - lol, no
Deadlift 200kg - no
Get strong enough to start doing weighted chins - yes
Keep BW under 80kg - yes

In reflection, I missed most of these. I had a very solid year of training, probably my best & most consistent so far. But my focus changed a lot from when I set out my goals. Losing 15kg, feeling more healthy, getting 2x bw squat and winning a PL competition more than made up for it.

Time to light up the pipe and come up with some new goals.

[baldy]

Realistic target is 500kg total.

Sweet I actually did that!

[Mellos]

My final PL PB session is still to come but let´s see:

No alcohol excesses (at least not too many ) - Done
And tons of vegan bodyweight to be put on - Done cum laude


Deadlift 220 KG - No
Squat 170 Kg - No
Bench 115 Kg - Didnt. Even. Improve. Damn!
Snatch 90 Kg - Lacking technique
Clean & Jerk 110 Kg - No but possible on a good day
Atlas Stone ~120 Kg - Actually lost the ability to load 100
Circus Dumbbell 60 Kg - Didn´t try
Log Lift 110 Kg - No

Reasons? Once again I had all my gains in 3 months of the whole year and lost a hell lot of power in spring.
If I ever get this under control, stuff could happen. Let´s hope I do.
220 Deadlift could have been possible with less competitions (same goes for the squat).
Benchpress? From now on I just hate it. Period.
Oly Lifting? I already gpt the power but I lack technique. That´s why the difference in the snatch is 15 kg while in the c&j it is 5 kg. Sadly I have no opportunity to test my c&j because of "work" and the holidays.

[thestoatyone]

500kg total: nailed!

100kg floor-overhead: er, not really tried...

[Linnéa76]

Benching bodyweight would be cool.

No, not even close.

250 kg total should be doable!

Done!

[dublin dave]

December is traditionall the time to go down the ghetto, score some crack, get the pipe out and take some long deep draws...

So what are you targets for 2011?

Mine are as follows:

Deadlift 185kg, Squat 125kg, Bench 90kg...Total 400kg...currently total is 345kg.

Military Press 50kg currently 45kg.

Bodyweight 80kg with 15% bodyfat.

Nothing achieved and no PBs in 2011...

[JP]

300kg deadlift

LOL thats a bullshit target actually will be 10 years...

proper targets:

300lbs/137.5kg floor to overhead/clean & jerk

140kg jerk off blocks

no fuck it, 150!

190kg front squat

272.5kg/600lbs deadlift

240kg squat in wraps

130kg log

hey i have had many of the same goals for few years now Maybe this year is THE year...

what was i smoking to come up with those goals?!?

Bullshit goals Well, 130 log was NAILED out of the blue this saturday gone, 7.5kg behind on the front squat, 10kg on deadlift, 10kg on squat, and stopped doing jerks from blocks, but push press has been flying!

Need to carry many of those goals to next year...

[sosso]

300 lbs / 136 kg C&J

500 lbs / 227.5 kg squat with or without wraps

LOL

[Lordmuppet]

*takes deep draw on pipe*

Squat up from 122.5kg (270lb) to 158.8kg (350lb)
Deadlift up from 142kg (315lb) to 183kg (405lb).
Bench up from 77.1kg (170lb) to 100kg (225lb)
Bodyweight/fat: eh don't really care so long as i don't go past the 82.5kg/182lb class

feel free to ridicule but i figure it's better to set them too high than too low and they are possible. E.g deadlift (the biggest) is an increase of less than 2.5kg a week for the year

wow 2010 me had NO idea what was realistic

bear in mind squat form has changed such that I actually have some pro-perception now. Old Deadlift number was with frog stance so have overhauled that. Bench form is about the same i guess.

Squat up from 122.5kg to 127kg now (has been higher during the year)
Bench down from 77.1kg to 75kg (lifted at start of november 2011). Has been higher during the year also.
Deadlift up from frog stance 142kg to 160kg conventional.

disappointing year. Certainly put in the hours in the gym but things such as moving, illness and injury have taken their toll. Will figure out how to deal with such stuff better. Having a place to deadlift at home should help.

targets for next year will be much more modest.

[dublin dave]

targets for next year will be much more modest.

STOP right there! Take a big rock, stick it in your pipe, apply flame and take a deep, long draw...and then write down your lifting targets for 2012...
