You tell me...

main lifting goal it to improve my bench it is by far my weakest body part. i would also like to increase my squat by another 50-75# for reps of 10. I will also be trying to compete in BB show this summer so the lifting goals will more than likely wait until after that.

Rehab my infraspinatus and terres major so I can get my 1RM Bench Press up to 300 lbs (I weigh 155 lbs).

 

[gixxer]

i want to be 185 by summer

i am 173 right now

 

[CoolBeans]

Lower Bodyfat %
Complete a 350 lb Bench Press by the end of 2002 (at 290-300 currently)
Be able to Squat 420 lb (@ 360 now)
Deadlift 475lb (@ 410 approx now)

I'd like bigger arms, maybe like 1.5" more =)

to use the current (powerlifting)record weights in my age/division/country and use them as warm up weights, smash the australian records, and still be drug free.

fill up my home gym even more

snap a bar while deadlifting at a chrome gym

Physique-wise, my goals are:
1. 220lbs at 8% BF (currently about 215-220 at 14%)
2. 17" lean arms (currently about 16.75")
3. Increase size of all delts, especially rear (always a weakness)
4. Improve traps and upper back, for some reason, no matter how much I dead or row, they are very stubborn to grow.

Strength wise, my goals are:
1. Deadlift 500lbs (I am about 40lbs away from this)
2. Bench 315 for 5 reps
3. DB Military Press with 100lb DB for reps
4. Begin consistent strong man work (stones, barrels, sandbags, farmer's walks, car pulling, car pushing) at least once a week.

I also really need to start doing some cardio (I hate that shit!) I went snowboarding this year, and did not have the stamina I used to.

I am pretty happy with lower body size and strength, so most of my goals are upper body related. I feel I could easily accomplish these with a few well thought out routines and cycles, but as I am now natural, it will be a bit more challenging. I may not get all those goals, but I will get close.

To get in the best shape of my life, period

By the summer: Gain 15 pounds LBM...

Increase my bench/squat/dead to:

350 x 5/405 x 8/500 x 8

That should be fairly easy. Currently 310 x 3/365 x 7/455 x 7

Gain 15-20 pounds LBM, which would put me at 230, ~7%. (currently at 212, 8%)

Who knows.... I may consider powerlifting, but I couldn't gain any more weight really, those lifts are not competitive at 230.... But we'll see. 230 @ 7% might be big enough to consider competing in BBing, just for fun.

Also want to get my NCSA certification, and, oh, get into a med school.

I'd like to make it through 2002 to without falling down and breaking my hip.

 

[Belial]

gt, how you doing bro? Squats coming along?

 

[VooDoo Lady]

As people have already started whispering when I walk in the gym, I question my goals to "get more jacked." I don't really have any plans to compete at this point, so I wonder what's driving my desire to be BIG. Can I go through life as a big, muscular female?? And why?? Why am I doing this??

:::sigh:::

I dunno, F them all, my goals for 2002 are to make them go from whispering when I walk in the gym to FAINTING when I walk in the gym

VDL

P.S. I'm not really THAT big, I don't mean to sound full of myself, I guess people just aren't used to a female with a little muscle.

 

[gymtime]

gt, how you doing bro? Squats coming along?

Doing well bud, thanks. Squats are moving along, however I wasn't exactly a model of intensity over the holidays. I was out of town visiting family for a week and kinda did the best I could gym-wise. Back at it hard this week though.

Hope things are good with you young man.

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

Belial, you should definitely hit a meet soon man, LOTS of fun!

 

[Belial]

Hehe. No doubt it would be, that's the main reason I'd go... I'd get my ass handed to me, but it'd be inspirational. I gotta find some meets that'll be nearby in the spring..

gymtime, I hear you. It's been hard to stay focused during the holidays... diet's gone to hell, but I'm loving the home cooking. hehe.

 

[BodybuildingUniverse]

if you tell where you are then I will shoot you a list of local meets

 

[Belial]

Durham, North Carolina.

Appreciate it, man.

 

[needsize]

These are actually my January 2002 goals but:
405lbs for 5x5 rock bottom on the squat 500 as max
500lbs for 3x5 on deadlift with 600 as max
bench 315 for at least 1 set of 5

 

[GRIMMER]

I've got a meet in march so my goals right now are a 500+ dead , 500+ squat , and a 330 bench all without shirts or suits. After the meet i'll reasses my gaols.

 

[Liberator]

i dont know yet as ive only been working out 9 months, so i dont know what is possible, i will be concentrating hard on progressing in all the major lifts, pefecting my form and also descovering what exercises are most useful to me and what arent.

i'd also like to gain more lean mass and maybe drop bodyfat

i have kept a perfect diet over xmas, and intend to keep it throughout next year so long as i have my health and money to do it

i am looking forward to what i can achieve next year

i am right now 210lbs at 10-12% bf

im not too interested in maximum lifts, more solid progression with perfect form, with the ultimate goal of being very lean and muscular

 

[Jabs]

To miss only a few days for the year and to keep going forward with my gains

 

[Imnotdutch]

Hehehehe......nice goal you dont sound full of yourself at all......the whispers just mean that you no longer look like the average joe (or joanne I guess) that goes into the gym. Considering most people in gyms dont know how to train, and go there to socialise, that can only be a good thing.

My goals are: Double bodyweight bench (420-440lb), paused with no equipment.....and a triple bodyweight deadlift. I'll settel for just about anything with my squat

I dunno, F them all, my goals for 2002 are to make them go from whispering when I walk in the gym to FAINTING when I walk in the gym
