2009 Goals?

[BigKen]

Not seen a '09 Goals thread yet, so thought Id stick one up. Whats everyones plans for 2009?

Mine are along the lines of:

-310/ 320k deadlift
-330k squat
-150k log, 160k axle
-one motion a 150k stone
-400k yoke for 30m, max 1 drop

Probably got plenty more, just cant really think what! :D

[madcap]

155kg Bench
220kg Squat
265kg deadlift
weighing around 103kg

[kinkymisspinky]

Gold at the Europeans
Work out what my stand up game is
To be good at flying armbars, maybe even throw them at comps
Improve top game, improve bottom game (basically be better at BJJ)
Visible abs
One armed chin (not sure if that's do-able in a year)

My goals aren't really to do with amount of weight lifted because it doesn't necessarily relate to my sports performance.

[Sloth]

Current Goal - 250 DL

09 Goals (RAW) @ 105 - SQT 240 / OHP 115 / DL 270

[chi]

Drop BW from 210lb to 190lb whilst maintaining or gaining muscle mass
Cut all sugars and most refined carbs

C&J > 1.25x BW
Sqt > 2x BW
DL > 2.5x BW
OHP > 90kg

Still to consider my goals for CF WODS, but off the top of my head
Fran under 8 minutes
Helen under 13 minutes
Filthy Fifty under 25 minutes
learn kipping pull-ups

[DelBoy]

I don't know really:

-Start Boxing again
-Stay around 80-85kg
-Get leaner
-225kg Deadlift
-175kg Olympic Squat
-125kg Bench Press
-100kg OHP

[JB]

OLs
Snatch: 90-95 (currently 75)
C&J: 120 (currently 97.5)

Assistance
Squat: 190 (curently 165ishkg)
Fronties: 155 (currently 130)
A 3*BW pull and a BW+ OHP would be nice too, but I'm not going to train for them specifically.

All at or within cutting distance of the 77s, maybe a lean 80kg. I'm not anywhere near strong enough to move up to the 85s yet.

Quite ambitious, but I think if I get a good years training and get my squats up then I can do it. Probably about 15kg from what I'm capable of just now on each of the comp lifts.

[Beaker]

Good numbers in the following:
Pull ups/Chins
Push ups
Pistols
No access to weights next year so all training will be BW based.

[PikeKing]

Stop getting injured
Win the Salisbury Open in the summer
Get Brown Belt
Regain muscle, strength & fitness lost since July
Get good at Pull ups
Big Arms
140kg Squat for reps
100kg Bench for reps
80kg Hang Clean for reps

[plateau2]

OHP: 100kg (current PB 85kg but this was after DB press)
DB press: 60kg
Big guns
Improve my fitness, posture and mobility
Learn a technical lift

[ATZ]

I already have some short term goals so not gonna commit to anything until they're done and dusted.

Would just like to be generally stronger, bigger and leaner in that order.

[steve]

[chi]

-maintain 110 but increase muscle weight


BW to 125, get a lot fitter and loose some fat.

Lots of strongmen wanting to lose the chub, next thing they will all be wanting to compete in tested comps as well ;)

[kinkymisspinky]

Get Brown Belt

Definitely don't want to get my BJJ brown belt. That would kill me :022:

[Dusty]

1. Train! (I have found the last few months really hard with starting college, new job and life, so would like to settle into a better routine)
2. Sort out diet.
3. Push Press 50kg +
4. Bench 50kg +
5. Deadlift 120kg +

[PikeKing]

Lots of strongmen wanting to lose the chub, next thing they will all be wanting to compete in tested comps as well ;)

haha!!

shocking news

[BengDogg]

Get back into my training ive been a bit busy/lazy/run down of late gotta keep in shape as the years move on

[Narc]

**** I dunno. Sort my deadlift out, stay injury free, put in a few decent comp performances, grow, improve.

[Vinny]

**** I dunno. Sort my deadlift out, stay injury free, put in a few decent comp performances, grow, improve.

How about trying to be less of a 'see you next tuesday'

How about trying to like people rather than wanting them all dead.

Things like that...

[Narc]

Homo.

[plateau2]

Lots of strongmen wanting to lose the chub, next thing they will all be wanting to compete in tested comps as well ;)

Or get better at chins ;)

[666]

Guess mine will depend how my maxing goes over the next fortnight or so, though will probably be along the lines of:

140 bench
140 hang clean
240 deadlift
100 hang snatch
120 push press
Front squat TBD
Squat TBD

I've previously been pretty ridiculous when setting medium-term goals so I've been a bit more realistic this time. Hang clean is probably the most ambitious.

[Vinny]

yeah dude that does seem to stand out a bit.

[JB]

A 100kg PS would be impressive too.

[Sloth]

i think they're easily achievable if you play it right mate.

[madcap]

I reckon you have a few of them now mate

[Sloth]

bench and dl particularly

[madcap]

yeah those were the 2 I was thinking of..

In addition to mine, I'd like to get more flexible, so I can

a) learn how to clean properly
b) learn how to OH squat

as well as getting a 120 push press

[666]

I reckon you have a few of them now mate

Nah, atm I'm around:

140 bench - 130
140 hang clean - 110
240 deadlift - 227.5
100 hang snatch - 75-80
120 push press - 100
Front squat TBD
Squat TBD

Deads maybe look a little stingy at second glance but it's what I've had in my mind so I'll stick with it - if I hit it earlier then that's splendid.

[madcap]

I refuse to believe your bench is only at 130.

[kinkymisspinky]

Gold at the Europeans


Okay, will scrub that one as I've decided not to go to the Europeans. Will replace it with get my Judo brown belt.

what are you now?

[kinkymisspinky]

what are you now?

Yellow :D

[PikeKing]

Yellow :D

probably more likely than me, I will find it hard to get it by not doing Judo

[chi]

My plan for 2009 is to adjust Crossfit for my goals, thats additional strength work and to scale the weights of the metcon days to ensure a good cardio beating.

[ATZ]

After much thinking my 09 goals are: Consistency and Progression. I feel 08 was largely a wasted training year for me, I was trying to do too mnay things at once and got nowhere. Sooo....

Jan/Feb: 4-6 weeks of losing some winter chub, lifts probably won't progress much.
Feb Onwards: Put some muscle on and improve Squat.

And thats about it, in terms of weight shifted will set some goals after Jan/Feb.

[steve]

Time to add my 2009 goals into my sig so I can see them all the time.

Edit: Acutally that takes a lot of room. Sloth, how can I link to a single post like yours?

Just saw this - sadly it isn't even that yet, lol!

What I don't know is how to change the link name to 2009 goals?

hmm, can't get it to work. I must be doing something wrong.

[Sloth]

post up your goals only in a post and well do the rest.
you're embarressing me as a welshman.

[Narc]

Done.

You're right, I have no excuses, but what's your excuse for putting a second "E" in embarrassing?;)

[steve]

Done.

Thanks mate!:)

Any time Andrei.

Probably about 15kg from what I'm capable of just now on each of the comp lifts.How's everyone getting on? If everything goes well I think I'm on course for my OL goals, but am probably going to fall a bit short with the squats as I haven't been pushing them.

[Sloth]

Current Goal - 250 DL

09 Goals (RAW) @ 105 - SQT 240 / OHP 115 / DL 270


shit. no where ****ing near.

[666]

140 bench
140 hang clean
240 deadlift
100 hang snatch
120 push press


Lost interest in the oly stuff tbh so neither of them are going to happen; shoulder trouble with OH stuff has stopped me doing much of that at all so the PP is probably off the list too.

Deadlift definitely doable, bench probably doable.

[Narc]

**** I dunno. Sort my deadlift out, stay injury free, put in a few decent comp performances, grow, improve.


Deadlift not quite there yet but moving in the right direction, injuries just about being kept at bay on the whole, comps good provided BDFPA qual's go well, BW up around 15lbs so far, static strength has seen lots of improvement, hard to say with events as I've not been able to do much but they appear to be doing ok, conditioning shot to ****.

[chi]

Drop BW from 210lb to 190lb whilst maintaining or gaining muscle mass
Cut all sugars and most refined carbs

C&J > 1.25x BW
Sqt > 2x BW
DL > 2.5x BW
OHP > 90kg

Still to consider my goals for CF WODS, but off the top of my head
Fran under 8 minutes
Helen under 13 minutes
Filthy Fifty under 25 minutes
learn kipping pull-ups

I'm relisting my goals as:

150kg bench
200kg squat
230kg dead
100kg OHP
improve bodycomp, but i'm not going under 200/210lbs ever!
these may not be hit till 2010, but they are deffo current goals

and finally
**** crossfit

[Narc]

A most excellent set of goals indeed.

[steve]

260 Deadlift
230 Ol Squat
180 Front Squat
110kg Strict Axle
125kg Axle Jerk/push press
350kg Yoke for 15m
145kg farmers for 15m
130kg power clean
85kg pinch
145kg Bench

Deadlift could happen this year and I'd like to think 250 is there now, so it all depends on what happens from now until around December time. 230 squat was a little bit ambitious for this year, 220kg might go before the year is out though. Front squat will be done this year. 110 strict press again too ambitious, but 100 will happen this year or I'll kill myself. Once the strict press goes up push press should follow, hopefully not too far off the above. Not sure about the yoke, it's not impossible. 145kg farmers are a dream at the moment, next year maybe. Not really training regular power cleans now so no way I'll do 130, d/o axle power clean is more of a priority currently. 85kg pinch is possible. Bench shouldn't be much of a problem.

[madcap]

155kg Bench
220kg Squat
265kg deadlift
weighing around 103kg

this is prob the only one im on for haha

[FAT SAM]

Goals for the end of the year (will hit most of them in the christmas whey power challenge if all goes to plan):

160kg push press
160kg close grip bench
280kg deadlift
260kg squat (belt and knee wraps)

[Vinny]

275 Deadlift
200 Ol Squat
175 Front Squat
200 Bench
160 Push Press
125 Strict Press
BW to 125, get a lot fitter and loose some fat.

hmmm can’t see a 275 dl going by end of the year. The oly squat should be ok, managed 210 in a belt few weeks back. Front Squat isn't out the realms of possibility. Bench is the furthest away... I've actually lost 10kg since then. Push Press probably not. Strict press definitely not! BW was a change of heart hoping to be 110 by xmas!

[Sloth]

you've had a 290 DL have you not!?

[Vinny]

you've had a 290 DL have you not!?

Suited and hitched (in competition)! So doesn't count in my book.

[Sloth]

where are you at then, because surely there would have been a 270, 280 before that.

[Vinny]

where are you at then, because surely there would have been a 270, 280 before that.

Reckon I was around the 280 mark in February, lost about 10kg since then!

Yeah dude I feel more spritely alright, just annoying when your training partner starts to kick your arse in comps but hey-ho

[Narc]

Starts? I think you mean continues...
