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"
 
New record for me on the deadlift today, not in terms of weight but reps. Done 200k for 4 today, so i think 220 is going to be here v.soon :D.
So i am upping the 245k to 265k by the end of the year, may seem a bit optomistic but the way things are going im very confident.

Usually (when im not going for my 1rm) i do:

60kX15
100kX15
140X6
160X6
180X6

But when i go for my 1rm i do

60kX15
100kX15
140X6
160X6
220X1

tbh i might change it and do.

60kX15
100kX15
140kX10
160X8
180X6
 
Initial goals

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

Where i am now

Weight 16st 10
Bf % - 15%
Deadlift - Havnt tried 1rm
Squat - havnt tried 1rm,
Bench - wont happen as now when i bench my shoulder is in pain, so will now be sticking to dumbells
Waist - 37"
Legs - 26.6"
Biceps - 16.1"
Chest - 47"
Calves - 17"

So i will be a lot bigger than what my goals were if i carry on like this :D
 
Currently just going going into my 5th week of the cut, its going ok, lost about 3" and a good amount of bodyfat. Only thing now is weights are shocking, embaressing actually, lifts have plumeted, can only rep 150k on deadlifts for 6 now when it used to be 180k+ :(.
Hopefully i can get to my goal of below 10% and then lean bulk on top of that.

Pshhh... and i was worried you might catch me :p

Wait until the bulk my friend, never done a bulk with a bodybuilding nutritonist before, he should give me a few tips:D

What are your goals for the end of this year then? If i can get back up to where i was I wil be happy
 
Weights are improving slightly even though im on a cut. Started benching again in this cut phase, up to 130k for 6, not to bad a suppose, should be a lot better. Deadlifting saturday next, see what weights i can get out. If i dont get at least 160k for 6 i wont be happy at all. Roll on bulking, i think i will be overtaking oddjob in my next bulking phase :p

Well i'm on a cut till end of Jan... so now's your chance.

Yup, well im goig to start bulking now probably around january/febuary time, and bulk all the way through until next xmas, but im going to try and bulk lean, because i am prone to adding quite a bit of bodyfat. Ive always cutted then bulked, and gone back and forth like that, realised now that i have to bulk and bulk for a year or so and then cut after that.
Rol on the big weights

Very impressive!!

Hope you don't mind me asking but are you a natural? lifetime natural?

Hope no one i know read's this bored, turned to the "dark side" 18months ago. Currently 20 years old, currently "off", going back on In march. I wont discuss any furthur as its a family forum.


Pigeon_Killer - How about a little competition, give us both some extra motivation? See how can hit the biggest lifts in the 3 compound lifts. Squat/Dedlift/Squat?.

I will list my best ever lifts and what i think i can achieve by the end of the year, and you post yours. (1rm)

Bench - 150k December - 190k
Squat - 190k December - 230k
Deadlift - 230k December - 270k

I seriously need to get back into deadlifting properly again, missed a lot of sessions since august, and training has been rubbish since then, so need to get my head around it. And what i hoped to have achieved by this time in the big 3 really hasnt happened, all my own fault though :(
 
Just think more positive, just do anything you can to reach the weights you want to. Dont let anybody say you cant reach them and most of all believe you can reach them, get in contact with a sports nutrtionist that will make a big help to your training.

Around 3.5years, first year I was still 17st fat and eating a diet which consist of biscuits mcdonalds any any other crap lol. But 3.5 years ive been training give or take a few months.
 
First session of deadlifting for a while yesterday. Manged to get 170kX8 and managed 200k X2, all lifts strapless. Still poor at the moment, after a few months of hitting it hard I think it will get a lot better, I felt good deadlifting yesterday, the 170 was easier than i thought it was going to be, and 200k wasnt to bad. I think i can realistically be back up to 230k in a couple of months with the start of my bulk very soon
