Long term
I’m jumping on the no injuries bandwagon too. In the past 5 years I’ve had two sprained ankles, mallet finger (damaged tendon), hyperextended elbow, dislocated kneecap and PFPS in the other knee. I would really love to go at least 1 year without another injury (minor strains aside).
100 chin-ups and push-ups / week
BW bench press (5lbs increase)
150lb squat with no knee pain
DL 1.5 x bw (210lbs)
10 consecutive chin-ups
Be nicer to myself
Longer term (In the next 5 years)
Complete a Tough Mudder
My number one goal (Which mostly applies for this spring) is to NOT OVERTRAIN! I have done this the past 3 springs without fail and it really makes me feel horrible. Spring is the on season for the sport I play and for whatever reason my coaches think the on season is the time to increase practice frequency and intensity and on top of heavy weightlifting I can’t handle it.
Unfortunately I have no idea how I’m going to achieve this because I’m also really unwilling to stop lifting or my sport.
Aside from that!
My deadlift is almost 100lbs greater than my squat. I’d like that to change!
-Suck it up and buy a camera to record my lifts
-Do a pull up. Just one that’s all I ask!
-At least a 5% decrease in BF
By March:
-135 lb squat with good form (Current is 115)
-225 deadlift (Current 205)
-110 bench (Current 100)
I’m not really good at super long term goals so I don’t know what is realistic to achieve by next year.
hi everyone, this is all new to me. not the goals, the website. i just thought this is a good place to start…
for 2011 i want
to win in a level 5 overall figure competition.
make it to nationals in new york this summer.
be the leanest i have ever been. (115)
not cheat on my diet!
it all has to do with shows, i know. but for the moment thats where my heart is. i cant lift heavy at the moment, i have to bring down my muscles. so thats kind of a damper on my training. but none the less i cant wait to be in stage!
I’d really like to see everybody’s 2011 lifting goals in terms of bodyweight. Means a lot more to us small folks to see numbers in relation to bodyweight. Here are mine:
Geared
Squat: 1.8x bodyweight or more
Bench: 1x bodyweight
DL: 2.3x bodyweight or more
15+ chinups
And regarding Bobbi’s injury-free comment, I’m really hoping to fuck up my other shoulder this year. But this time, I want more than five anchors to piece it back together.

I actually do have a strategy to to try and minimize my chances of injury.
I am going to stop playing dodgeball with complete disregard for my body. My last injury made me realize a few things.
Yes I do love being out on the court, but it is not my job. Do I really need to fling my body across the court to try and catch a ball? Probably not. It might be awesome to make that grab, but what is it worth in the end? It is recreational afterall. I missed seeing my friends, my teammates every week more than I actually missed playing.
I don’t want to completely wimp out though. I still want to play with intensity and a highly competitive spirit, but with just a little more sense for my own wellbeing.
I’m excited by this. People got ambitious, I like it! And Deja, dude, I wanted to see goals because I’m not just competitive for me, I’m competitive for YOU - that’s why I’m such a good coach! I’m a PROFESSIONAL motivator! haha. I love competition and I like seeing where people want to be so I can help push them to meet their goals - that’s the whole point of a forum like this. Share and support, people! Let’s all hit our goals and not get f*cked up in the process! HOOYAH!
No seriously, I’m a completely coachable individual, so i like the way you think Bobbi.
My goals were in my log, but here they are:
Long term:
To be a lean, mean machine
11 pullups (11 in 11!) both in neutral grip and pronated
Oh - and this one I forgot somehow - continue to learn Oly lifting
Short term:
DL conv 5x195
DL Sumo 5x225
DB press 65s
Tryout for WPS once and for all!

I want to find how many licks until I get to the center of a tootsie roll pop
cereally :
bench 160
squat 225
dead 300
and considering you plan on hitting similar numbers with over 20lbs less I’m going to hang my head in shame. Just teasin (insert emoticon… who am I kidding? ;)[/quote]
in terms of Snappers request:
bench = BW 160
squat = less than 1.5… 1.5 would be 240. shit. I suppose I’m aiming for 240 now. Damn you Snapper! shakes fists
deads = double body weight would be 320 so 300lbs is less than 2x but more than 1.5. Sorry I can’t be bothered to do the math right now. Long day.
I’m currently trying to get back to 150. I’ll be curiouse to see how my strength gols and such are affected by that and if I will maintain that weight come february.
LOL Snaps - I have managed to do that. My right shoulder has been fucked since I was 24 (nearly 20 years, then) but now it’s lefty that’s being the annoying bitch. I was lying in bed last night, on the cusp of sleep, thinking, damn, why is lying on my left side painful? That’s my good side? Oh hang on, no it’s not, it’s my new bad side.
Sometimes I wonder if I should jack it all in and do pilates. (joke).
Stay injury free: don’t overtrain, keep hydrated by drinking at least a gallon of water/sugarfree drinks-not soda. Dynamic or ballistic stretching prior to lifting. Foam rolling more often.
BW goals (yes I did the math based on the weights I want to hit)
Raw
Squat 2.6 BW
Bench 1.5 BW
DL 2.5 BW
