2004 goals

[jack]

I'll go first and list my goals for 2004. I expect everyone else to post there's up too .

Bench--360;
Squat--500;
Deadlift--400,actually I just hope to deadlift again;

and one personal goal.

Come on now,it's time to be accountable.

I have never lifted for more than 6 consecutive months. When it gets warm, I go outside to play. This year, I hope to keep it going after the winter months. Although I am afraid to try one rep max lifts, if I keep it going this year, I'd like my workout weights to get to:

Bench - 200 (probable)
Hex Bar Deadlift - 300 (probable)
Body Weight Pull ups - 15 (stretch)

and my body weight to be 168 (probable)

I don't know what to expect from the squat. As you know, I do a full squat, and I'm not very strong with it, only getting 10 reps at 135lbs at this time. I intend to work hard on this lift, however.

Good luck

I guess I need to do this too...you and your darn goals Jack

Ok mine are pretty short...to lose the weight I gained, never to find it again and to spend Christmas the way I've wanted to for a long long time.

Oh and to become the official artist for the NBA, NFL and any other N you can think of Yes, I know I need to start local Jack.

Thats it guys

As of half way point:

Bench press: january was 5 x 155, june is 5 x 190 with an occasional 200 thrown in. Will probably make the resolution of 200.

Hex bar deadlift: january was 5 x 225, june is 5 x 286.5. Will probably make the resolution of 300, but I am wary of the strain on the back and will progress very slowly.

Pull/Chin ups: january was bw x 8, may was bw + 10 x 5. Will probably make the resolution of 15 chins @ body weight, question 15 pulls.

Body weight: still 178 and I don't think I'll make my resolution of 168.

Re-injured left shoulder which made squats difficult. Simply can not hold the bar without pain.

Read lots about pre and post workout nutrition, and have taken to drinking a couple of quarts of milk and eating a couple of pints of cottage cheese a day. But Pam, my weight won't go up or down whether it's milk or water.

I have gone to aerobics for the summer. My weight workouts are limited to HBDL and BP 2 X week.

What about you guys ?

Fish, can't say I've made much progress toward my goals........it's either been an injury or a personal matter that's delayed my progress. A knee injury in February kept me from squatting for 2 months and now the shoulder injury in May is even worse.....no squatting and limited benching. I can't even lift what I did at the first of the year......if I can just make to Dec. 31 and not break anything else...I'll feel fortunate. I am closing in on an important personal goal that I set for myself........I'll keep you guys posted on that one.

Nice mid term report...........you're leading the pack.
