What are your goals?

[b fold the truth]

I keep a running list of what my goals are on my computer. I make many short-term goals as well as a few long-term goals. My short term range from 2-3 weeks, 6-8 weeks, 2-3 months, 3-6 months, 1 year, and 3-5 year goals.

2-3 weeks: Have my new routine planned out for Nationals (October 5th). All injuries healed.

6-8 weeks: Weigh 275-282, be working on my cardio and endurance events. Get a 500-600 pound earth mover tire to work on speed and technique only. Strengthen my abs, hips, neck and calves. Break down my technique on every core exercise and event and improve it with lighter weights. Increase total body flexibility.

2-3 months: Spend August 11th through October 5th hitting my events hard. Weigh 280-285. Cardio (light) 3x per weeks. Hit all events on Sunday's and the ones I have the most problems with again on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. Strengthen my triceps, overhead press, quads, calves, and sprinting endurance.

October 5th: North America's Strongest Man contest. Weigh 287-293. Win the 300 pound weight class. Place top 3 in the Overall.

3-6 months: Strengthen my entire body, bringing up all of my core lifts and major event weights. Preparing to compete in 2 pro contest in 2003 and try to qualify for the Pro Nationals July 2003.

1 Year: Qualify for the Pro Nationals. Weigh 295-300. Log Press 345 for a single. Bench Press 485 raw, squat 700 raw, deadlift 700 raw.

3-5 Years: Be a top 10 ranked pro and qualify for the World's Strongest Man contest. Weigh 300-320.

Post your goals...short and long term.

i dont have them as extensively thought out, but ...

within 2 weeks, i want to be benching 275. i think it can be done easily too.

also within a couple weeks, i want to get a body fat caliper and see what the hell my BF is. after that, i can think a little more serious about other goals.

the next month, strengthen up my lower back, work light on back day, heal my injury. after that, see if a 315 dead can be done again (after lots of careful training).

through the 6 months, get my legs up to par with the rest of my body, especially my crappy ass calves.

2 years, maybe weigh a solid 185-190, maybe an even 200, chiseled.

short term - not lose any muscle during the next week, where I'm going to an olympic training camp for fencing, which involves about seven cardio hours daily for a week.
Gain some pounds over the summer, not really concerned whether or not it's fat or muscle, because I automatically cut when the year starts.

long term- by the time i'm fifteen, (almost a year) I'd like to have a 200 bench, 250 squat, and 300 dead. These seem like reasonable goals right now, I'm not THAT far from any of them. And to make the Canada Winter games next year, it may or may not be a long shot but I'm hoping for the best.

To be a freak, scare little kids in school yards with my sheer mass, the time frame on that goal is a little hard for me to gauge.

Goals:
1 Year: Have my form down well enough and be over 200lbs so I can join a gym and not look like some newbie.

2 Years: Be around 240lbs with 16-18%bf.

3 Years: Cut down to 6-7%bf and keep it at that.

4 Years: Drop bodybuilding and get into powerlifting while keeping a 6-7%bf.

5 Years: Once all my lifts are well over 300lbs I will get several degrees in martial art schools then join a boxing gym where I can practice kick boxing.

6 Years: Look like Vega, feel like Vega, fight like Vega, BE Vega

Beat the total I hit last competition nearly nine years ago before I got hurt. Do it at same bodyweight (242), with same equipment, and lift just a little bit more on each lift.

Then probably retire.

I actually have one other rather nebulous long term goal, and that is to compete as an OL'er once more. Do not know if the shoulder will ever be up to a max effort clean, though.

If I managed this, I would definitely retire before my luck runs out.

To get real lean and lose very little mass, and hopefully add some mass to my chest and tri's because i work them on refeed day. Then take some anabolics and add alot of mass by the begining of the spring semester my freshman year. I also want to hit 6'0 soon, i am 5'11 now.

-Reach my max bench again (25% below it right now)
-Reach my max squat again (1/3 below it right now)

If I get these two, I should be around 235 and under 10% bf

Short term goals within 6 month
========================

weigh 190lb at 6% bodyfat (currently 186 @ 9-10% 5'9") - I don't think I'll have any probs getting to 200lbs if I keep at 9% BF, my gains are very good at the moment!

double my power clean and snatch poundages


Long term - 1 to 2 years from now
========

weigh 220 lbs at 6% bodyfat

Have a standing long jump of 3.5 metres or greater ( 2.9 metres now)

Vertical jump of 48 inches or greater (about 39.5 inches now)

awesome acceleration in a short sprint

Squat 3 times my bodyweight for easy reps

Important - Lifetime steroid free too!!

Short term goals:

Saturday get 9 whites, hit all three attempts, 480, 505, 530 at under 220 bodyweight.

Medium goals - by the end of the year set the State 220 bench record, which I narrowly missed at my last meet.

One year goal, bench 575 at 220. And post an all time top 50 bench. (this would do it)

Long term goal, hit a triple bodyweight bench. Then always have a long term goal of at least 50 lbs beyond whatever my current bench is.

These are my powerlifting goals. I also have personal and family goals, but I assumed you were meaning in the weightlifting realm.
