For the gym rats

I dont think this thread has done before, and i thought that it would be quite interesting to see what everyones goals are.
So the question is, what are everyones goals for this year, weather it be to run X miles, get to xxxkg on the squat, lose X st?

Mine are (hopefully achieved by December)

Weight - 16st
bf % - 14%
Deadlift (1rm) 245k
Squat (1rm) - 210k
Bench (1rm) - 160k
Biceps - 16"
Waist - 34"
Legs 28"
Chest - 47"
Calves - 17.5"

Mine are to simply hit 13st and pass my PRMC

Look great naked.

220lbs @ 12-14% and ill be happy.

To drop about 4% bodyfat before the summer and look awesome on the beach

Put on a stone by summer (currently a pathetic 10st)

Increase my strength. Not bothered about how much muscle I have to show off or how I look. Just want to increase my brute strength.

Wouldn't it be better if the current stat in question was posted also? so we could see what kind of gain you're hoping for.

Current Stats -

12st (<14% bf - abs visable)
14.75" arms
41.5" chest
22.5" quads
32" waist
15" calfs

Squat 1rm - 150kg
Deads 1rm - 155kg
Bench 1rm - 105kg


Goals -

13st (<12% bf - abs visable)
15.5" arms
44" chest
25" quads
32" waist
16" calfs

Squat 1rm - 170kg
Deads 1rm - 170kg
Bench 1rm - 120kg


Fairly big goals, but should be attainable by the end of the year with the right training, rest, diet and supplements

I want to be benching 60kg incline & dumbells (currently doing 50kg max), increase my overall body size, especially chest and arms (really for my tattoo - cant get a tattoo yet as my arms are not big enough!).

Oh yeah, and I also want to get able to knock down buildings with my fists like Ken in Fist of The North Star!

Current Stats:

Weight - 15st
bf % - 17% ish
Deadlift (1rm) 210k

As long as I'm lifting more I don't care about the body measurements.


Update: Started ATG squats a few months ago and had to drop the weight. My 1rm is now 20/25K less than it was.

Currently:

Chest - 42"
Arms - 14.5"
Legs - 24"
Calves - 15"
Waist - 36" *
Weight - 184lbs
Body Fat - Around 16-17% (I think its lower though, fat just seems to be around my waist and nowhere else)
Height - 6ft1.5

Target (by the summer anyway):

Weight - 200lbs
Body Fat - 10-12%
Waist - 35"
Legs - 25-26"
Calves - 16"
Chest - 44"
Arms - 16"

Currently max (1rm) is 92.5kg (started last November 2005 max (1rm)= 40kg)
Target by end of 2006 max (1rm) = 120kg

Currently on a 2 week break, I've been overtraining No real gains recently anyway. I'll spend this weekend revising a new regime.

A 52.5kg improvement in 3 months? Does your skin turn green when you're angry?

lol

I've always been told that I'm stronger than I look which I suppose is better than the reverse. I've actually only achieved the 92.5kg twice at the end of a workout. I've attempted 4 times in the last month. I've pushed myself quite hard recently in the last 5 weeks and hit upon a bad patch now. My strength has improved but I'm really not seeing any gains, I've not gained much muscle mass or definition so I'm on a 2 week break to reassess myself. I've obviously been overtraining and I'm quite angry at myself for letting it happen.

I can comfortably bench 80kg 3x8 but for my max (1rm) I had my brother spot me because my bench is at home so I usually train alone. I use York gloves when lifting that I didn't when I started last November and because of the increased grip I can bench more. I'm 1 week into my break but this morning I attempted my max bench and couldn't do it. It's to be expected, then I tried 85kg then 80kg, I did the 80kg fine.

It's a bit of a pain swapping all the weights around for different exercises but I can live with it. It's only a matter of time before I buy a gym membership, I'm quite limited to what I can squat without a proper squat rack. And I'm maxing out what I can put on the butterfly and leg extension as well.

Currently:

Height - 6ft
Weight - 15st 3lbs (213lbs)
Waist - 34"
Arms - 16.5" - flexed
Quads - 26"
Calf - 17"
Chest - Need a bigger tape measure!
Body Fat - Around 17% I'd guess maybe a little more? muscle definition is visible, as are top 4 ab's, lower ab's are covered though! )

Target:

Body Fat - 12% don't want to look like a ripped gym junkie, just very healthy.


I'm very happy with my gains in the last 6 months or so, I've pretty much gained just muscle, maybe a little fat but I'm carrying about the same as I was.

Now just want to drop some fat and maybe add a little more muscle. My main goals though are to increase my strength and up my fitness, which to be honest is pretty bad. I look fit as a flea... I'm not I'm not as strong as I look.
I've done zero strength work and just concentrated on body-building so far. Now I'm more confident about my old elbow injury and my form is there I feel I can now push on and start cranking up the poundages especially in my deadlifts and squats, my bench press is ok.

Be able to run 10 miles in 60 minutes
Be able to hillwalk at least 8 hours with 55lbs on my back
Swim 1 mile with ease
Ability to climb a 5c (not easy by an stretch)
Full diving qualifications

Would like to hit 100kg bench and increase overal strength and possibly size
Bodyfat is about 10% so I'm not bothered whether it goes down a little or not

Squat:
Current 185
Goal 200+
Best 215

Bench:
Current 145
Goal 160
Best 145

Deadlift:
Current 210
Goal 240
Best 235

Losing some bodyfat would be nice but not vital.

Only got back into lifting heavy at the beginning of the year. Eg my current deadlift best was first time deadlifting in over 4 months. The goals stated hopefully should be doable withing the next 6 months or so.

Goals this year are just to continue how i have been.

Get bigger and get stronger. No specifics, provided i'm progressing i'm happy.
