Hi guys! Sorry I was MIA. I missed y’all. Good to see these great goals! 
Welcome back, my friend. You going to do a meet this year?
Thanks, it’s great to see you all. I’m intrigued by the idea for sure. But I’d definitely need some coaching. Maybe we could get together and talk about how I could do that?
I’m glad to help any way I can, Arachne.
I want to do a decent snatch. 2xBW squat would be good too.

BUMP! Frenchie made reference to where she’s at compared to her lifting goals for 2011 and it reminded me of this thread.
Now that we’re more than halfway through the year, how is everyone doing? I know there are a few ladies rehabbing some serious injuries, but how is everyone else? On track? Any goals achieved? Any new goals to add?
acheived: foam rolling, stretching and warming up as a habit.
squats: goal 225 from 185. reached 205lbs
bench: goal 160 from 150. reached 155
deads: goal 315 from 280. reached 305.
pullups: goal 5 unassited. haven’t focused on these one bit. will give them a try on Monday to see where I stand.
I’d say I’ve hit halfway point as planned.
not planning to add anything new. just focusing on finishing the race at this point.
My goals(were):
Improve physique-- eh, not really
Wear a bikini for the first time in my life!- nope, try again next year.
Maintain weight/pant size- YES!
Focus on strength(225 squat, 300+ DL, 100+ MP, at least 1 PULL UP!!!11!) :)— Hell nah
Stop neglecting the cardio side of the house-- working on it
go back to school-- working on it.
I had high hopes for this year…but with the depression, fatigue,(health related problems Im still working on) hubby being deployed and my daughter’s health issues; I’m proud to still be standing, somewhat sane, maintaining the previous years effort in body comp and having made it to the gym at least 3x week.
There is still time and room for improvement with the weight loss that I have been chasing. I’d be thrilled with 10 lbs by the end of the year!
apparently i didnt post in this one earlier, but i remember saying something about plausible deniability.
that’s going VERY well.
well shit i bombed two of mine :{ busted my back in early January and again in January . floated up the scale Feb on :{
BUT i have high hopes for growing taller and also getting misc fucked up tattoos fixed. overseas trip could happen theoretically.
Beyond bummed I didn’t post any goals in here. Damn.
I bumped the thread and then forgot about the goal part.
At the beginning of the year my goals were to hit 275/155/300 and to avoid injury.
squat 275: Current best is 265. Almost there.
bench 155: Coming along. I can bench 135 with a long pause, which is progress, but haven’t really gone over that.
dl 300: Currently at 275.
The chronic issues that usually mess me up haven’t kept me from doing anything yet.
If I were to add anything, I would say that rather than wanting to simply reach those goals, I hope to exceed them. I also have room for improvement with the preventative stuff to avoid injury.
Original Goals for 2011:
- stay uninjured
- get down a weightclass without have to cut prior to a meet
- get a SPF Pro total in single ply (for women-200# over elite totals)
- learn to like my job
- cut down on existing credit
Results so far:
- ha, ha that didn’t work, rehabbing a bicep reattachment as I type
- dang, this didn’t work either, still hanging in the 165s
- ah, did get this a Pro total my first meet in single ply, and now they’ve gone and raised the total in the last few weeks, so I no longer have my pro total.
- I learned to tolerate my job
- With multiple moves, I have actually increased my existing credit
BW goals for Snap
Raw - I did not do any Raw meets this year.
Squat 2.6 BW
Bench 1.5 BW
DL 2.5 BW
Single Ply - 1st Single ply meet in March 2011
Squat goal = 3.1 BW / Actual 2.8 BW = 450 lbs
Bench goal = 2.2 BW / Actual 2.0 BW = 325 lbs
DL goal = 2.6 BW / Actual 2.4 BW = 380 lbs
so didn’t really hit any of my set goals, still pretty please with my single ply meet and the numbers, still hanging out in the #4 slot for the time being on Powerlifting watch.
So by the end of the year,
- down to the 148’s
- rehab my shoulder correctly so I can come back strong in 2012
- maybe look for another job that I actually enjoy, even if it entails a pay cut.
- building my own garage gym !!!

2011 GOALS
- 25 fucking pullups
- +45lb weighted pullups (a set of three).
- 300lb DL. (maybe more of a dream).
- To hit (what I believe are my current 1 rep maxes) 225 DL, 150 Squat, and 100 Bench for some serious reps.
[/quote]
-
Last time I tested, in april, I could do 17. Historically, I have been able to add a pullup a month. So, if all goes well I should hit 25 by December.

Not working the weighted right now.

Hmm. Have pulled 265 on two separate occasions, but recently missed it. But, this dream-goal is on hold for the pullups. Next year for sure.
4a DLS: I’ve pulled my start of the year DL max, 225, for reps x5. And in three more cycles, I get to beat that.
4b Squat: My squat 1 rep max has increased from 150 to 175. I haven’t work up to squatting 150 for reps yet, but I will before the end of the year.
4c Bench: My bench 1 rep max has increased from 100 to 115. And I’ve benched 100x6 so far.
Cut and pasted from my second log:
- Drop some weight. I am aiming for 140lbs although that’s a weight I haven’t seen in several years…
Nowhere close. The beginning of the year was quite stressful (school inspection, professional assessments etc) and I just never got started on the diet. I am currently 158lbs - quite a long way from my original goal. However, the lowest I’ve been in recent years was 144lbs four years ago. I am making August the month I concentrate on recomping, but I won’t focus quite so much on weight, more on how I look and feel.
- 10 Chins. Or maybe 11 in '11? Most I’ve done is 5 and that tends to go down when I put weight on. I need to get better at these.
This just didn’t happen. Shoulder issues have prevented me from training chins at all. I also need to drop a lot of weight before I can do anything close to five chins - right now I don’t think I can do one.
- Improve my gymnastics. Specifically, I want to be able to do a handstand and a backward roll properly.
I got the backward roll. Still working on the handstand - I can kick into one but not hold it. So there’s progress, but it’s not as fast as all that. I’ll keep working on it.
- Do the splits (not box splits, mind - just the leg forward/leg behind version). Never managed to get all the way down, so I would like to do that.
Again, I’ve not managed to get the splits yet but I’ll keep at it.
- Run a half-marathon.
Tick. Did this in May. Unfortunately, the foot problem has stopped me from running for the past month or so, but I did make a lot of progress in the first half of the year and am proud of my achievement. Just hope I can get the foot thing sorted so I can start running again. (And that’s because I enjoy running).

Good idea to bump this thread.

Bench: .9x BW – Nope . . . long way to go on this
DL: 2.1x BW – Nope, but hit 2x BW a month or so ago
Geared:
Squat: 1.8x bodyweight or more – YEP, hit 1.88x BW last week and more than 2x BW in the gym
Bench: 1x bodyweight – YEP, hit 1 lb. shy of this last week
DL: 2.3x bodyweight or more – CLOSE, hit 2.23x BW last week
15+ chinups – Egads. I haven’t done these in ages.
