My goals when I started lifting in March were 315 squat, 405 deadlift, and 315 squat at 180 lbs by the end of the year. Right now Im in my 6th week of starting strength and I have made more progress in those 6 weeks than in the 5 months before. Best lifts are 285x5 squat, 325x5 deadlift, and 180x5 bench so I think I will be able to hit those numbers. Long term would be to hit 400-500-300 by 2010.
Im not sure what to do after the 8 weeks of starting strength are up, I was looking into madcow 5x5, I wanted a break from squating heavy 3 times a week though. I was also thinking about trying Mondays with Thibs: The Skinny-Legs Cure for 4 weeks just to mix things up. Any advice?
My goals right now are a 500lb DL and a 350 bench.
I set a new PR on the DL today at 430lb and am already at 300 on bench.
I’ve been focused so much on DL that I haven’t been squatting to much. My front squat was repping 225 for 5. I want to switch back to backsquat, find my max and bring that up to what I’m deadlifting.
Wow. hmmm…
well, my old pr’s for a full raw meet are
sq: 435
bp: 350
dl: 500
total: 1265
I have a meet comming up oct 25 and my goals are to open just below the above weights. I’d love to hit the following though:
sq: 475
bp:360
dl: 550
total: 1300 +/-
I lift in the 220’s, but I lift in the low end (208-210 for weigh-ins).
I want to pause bench 635, squat 900 with knee wraps and a belt, and deadlift 900 with just a belt. essentially all lifts done raw, if I could get those lifts in competition I would set a new all time raw world record total.
