What Do You Really Want?

I want to know. Putting your goals down on paper always makes you push that much harder. So. I want to know how many of us have the guts to post on T-Nation our ULTIMATE goals. size, power, weight, whatever.

I started this beast i may as well go first.

20 inch arms.

a 35 inch waist.

a 50+ inch chest.

Enough to wrestle bears and win. And I mean proper wild bears, not circus bears. I’m talking the John West Tuna bear.

HAHAHA! (see my refrain from using “lol”? that’s because I’m not a teen).

I want to be Military Press 1 ton and be able to lift a man by his neck with one hand.

if you can military press 1 ton you’ll be able to pull his head off if you try to lift him…

Enter a BB show at at least 200 lbs and 3% bf

Ha, good one. I’d have to say goal wise is bench 305, cut down on my injuries, fix my anterior pelvic tilt and my posture in general, get 1000+ total and get to 200lbs lean. Needless to say I have a lot of work to do, especially considering I seem to have the joints and tissue quality of a 50 year old and I’m not even 20 yet.

working towards:

Dead lift 405
Bench 225 (short term, im 20 pounds away) 3 plates a side is my longer term goal.

Clean 225

Squat 405

BIGNESS:

240lbs of throbbing muscle.

19" arms

Huge legs.

Traps that replace my neck.

POWERNESS:

Biggest bench possible.

Biggest squat possible.

Deadlift so heavy that it snaps the bar.

Just buy a cheap bar.

Despite being more bodybuilding oriented, since the best way to see serious size increases is through serious strength increases, my goals are as follows:

Bench: Anything over 4 plates
Squat: At least 600 lbs
Deadlift: 650 minimum

Of course, once I get there I’ll want more, but such is the life of a lifter.

Ever since I was a little kid and saw Star Wars: A New Hope. I realize that it’s weird, but like Vader:

Pick a fully grown man up with just one arm.

make it to 205lbs @ >10% BF.

Bench 400lbs

squat 500lbs

dead <500lbs

have someone say, “omg God, it’s coming this way” when i walk down the street.

I’d love to have an IQ of 180. Ptthhh , you guys are all dumb minded muscleheads.

When I walk by you see the water tremble like in Jurassic park.

Goals before I’m 22 (which will be right after I get out of college):

21 inch arms

32 inch legs

Freakishly large calves

Chest like Arnold’s

260+ lbs

= 6% BF

Bench 405+

Squat 675+

Dead lift 765+

Curl 225+ (You all know that would be badass)

Dip with 2 plates between my legs for reps

Pull-ups with 2 plates between my legs for reps

Be able to do a wicked pec dance for the ladies

Crack walnuts between my fingers

Not be able to walk anywhere without being noticed

I’ve got some work to do…
