Big Goals for 2013, What Ya Got?

Powerlifting
#1

It’s my last day off before I go back to school and I’m thinking of all the goals I want to accomplish by this day next year. Mine slightly vary because I oddly hit plateaus for a long time or I get out of them very quick.

bench 355 and up
squat- 450 and up
dead 500 and up
clean/press 250 and up
trap bar farm walk over 600 for about 30 feet
circus dumbbell over 140
and be big as hell of course

I would have more strongman events in there but I don’t have the equipment :frowning: I’m working on finding some.
But ya pretty big expectations but we’ll see what happens. What are you guys looking to do in 2013?

#2

600 squat
405 bench
750 deadlift
1,500 hills ran
1700 total @ 242

Amongst other things

#3

Graduate Basic Training
Graduate AIT
Get abz at 181
Get strength back to current level after Basic/AIT/cutting

The first two are a given, as I really have no other choice. The second two will put me a bit closer to being ranked at 181.

#4

Bench 275
Squat 405
DL 450
Power Clean 185 and above for reps
Snatch 150

Grow a great beard.

#5

Bench 365
Squat 495
Deadlift 585
Military Press 225

Get to 170lb bw @ <10%bf

#6

Have my shoulder get back to normal
Compete in my first PL meet
In terms of lift numbers, I really don’t know where I’ll be in a year’s time since I’m completely changing my style of training, going from basic 4 DAW strength to Bulgarian style training, so I’ll put a general range on where I see myself being.
Squat 405-450
Front Squat 315-350
Deadlift 450-500
Pullups 3RM 60-80
Bench 225-260 (haven’t been able to bench since April)

Kind of large ranges, but I don’t know how I’ll respond to this training. So far it’s been going great, but who knows how longer that will last…

#7

Bench 405 (raw)
Total 1600 (raw)
Deadlift 750
Total 2000 (equipped)

#8

Get my back pain under control
Pull 900
Bench 500 raw

Write the fucking book I started an outline for last year.

#9

Total over 1305 at 181 raw.

  4. pull 545

  5. stay a little leaner

  6. Avoid injuries and nagging joints

probably the exact same as mine

#15

  1. Heal my back

  2. Everything else will take care of itself

Seriously though (well I was kinda being serious–this injury fucking sucks) but I would also like to get real lean this year. I’m big enough now that I think I can still look massive even with less fat.

I’d also like to take a crack at the 100% RAW federation world record in the Strict Curl for all weight classes. It was like 186 last time I checked, and I hit 176 in my first meet doing them, so not too far off.

Also would be great if I could get my deadlift higher than my bench lol

#16

I want to total 1,200 raw @ 181 and only 18 years old and break some national records in either the USPF or USPA.

CS

#17

Bench 300
Squat 400
Pull 500
And most importantly one year closer to being out of the reserves!

#18

My first goal was to link up with a seriously motivating crowd to help me stay focused. Just joined TNation as a member after reading some forums and liking the hardcore attitudes I’m seeing on here. Looking forward to being a part of a place where I can get some advice and motivation as I push on!

#19

Bench 130 kg/285 lbs
Squat 170 kg/375 lbs
Deadlift 240 kg/530 lbs

Maintain body fat percentage @ 85 kg/187 lbs
Remain injury-free

#20

600/500/700

1800 total by the june meet.
