Progress in 2005? Goals for 2006?

[enigma4dub]

reflecting on 2005: well it was an up and down year as fars as consistency. had a stressfull 3 month period where i didnt hardly eat. but other than that its been extremely succesfull as far as my training knowledge is concerned.

completed first 5x5 cycle with very good strength and size gains. even though my weight selection was way too aggressive

looking forward to 06: planning on running two more df 5x5 back to back while incorporating high pulls, cleans, and power shrugs assuming i can learn how (big assumption) from there id like to dable with wsb,korte and maybe the squat cycle, smolov i think.

id like to thank all those knowledgeable people on this board, thanks to there good posts i have broken through the one muscle group a week bb bulshit.

happy new year!!!

2005: Joined a decent gym and learned to do a lot of things right
PRs 142.5Kg bench, 160Kg ATF Squat (belted), 185Kg Dead

2006:
I want to surpass 300 bench, 400 squat, 500 dead and I want to hit a triple with 3 plates on bench which has been a distant ambition for many years.

Bench: 275 (I'm using 5x5 to get there this time.)
Deadlift: 455 (Hit 405 last summer and need to hit it hard in the spring to get back up)
Squat: 405
Standing MP: 185

I really need to learn how to clean. As of now, I don't know the correct form, so I don't even try. I was able to somewhat master the dead and squat form from member posts and videos, so I'll look into both with cleans.

Did we have a similar thread a year ago? Who met their goals?!

Good goals and good luck to all.......

I have ZERO strength goals.......however, I do have a goal to put get up to 220 and under 9%. Strenth will come with the progress of bulking and training hard......30lbs of sheer mass in 2006............

heal up and hopefully pull 725, squat 605 x 5 and bench that elusive 5 large :s

More than halfway there, checking progress

Goals:
Get up to 210, stay at ~20% BF

Full squat 365
Front squat 275
Bench 300
Dead 500
Learn to powerclean

Currently 204 at 19% (handheld BF thing)

Full Squat - Not much progress except form might be a tad better. I think I'm good for 335 at least right now but we'll see where I am on my intensity phase on my current run

Front squat - Got 245 x 3 previous HST cycle. Maybe good for 265 x 1

Bench - Hit 310 for a slow rep a couple months ago. Bench is starting to come on again, I feel. I may try for 315 by end of the year.

Dead - No deading due to back injury. I may dead for some 3 x 3's in this intensity phase, but will probably switch to sumo for these higher intensities.

Powerclean -

Ohh, good find for you Jim!

1) i'm off by 10 kilos at current time. when i wrote this i front squatted ~90
2) will likely c&j 125 before this month ends. 130 in august!
3) snatch 105 before august, currently just under 100!
4) still 20kg off the mark...
5) don't train this anymore

- i can't bench anywhere near where i can jerk. w00t!

Goals for 2006:

1) front squat 140kilos
2) c&j 130kg
3) sn 110kg
4) back squat 180kg
5) pull 200kg

- be able to bench what i can jerk

Well, I didn't yet get the three-plate triple although I took a couple of promising shots at it. Squats I reached 375 for a triple but crashed out before attempting 400. Deads seem to have found the back-burner yet agan.

Sad, really, I thought the year had been going well until I saw this.

Hell, 2006 ain't over yet - Got another 6 months to work towards those goals!
