Goals and PRs
In January I wrote down a few goals that I wanted to reach this year. Among them were my lifting goals of 225lb bench press, 225lb squat, 315lb deadlift.
Today I pulled 315lb for 3 reps on the deadlift, and 225lb for 5 reps in the squat. Unfortunately my bench press is lagging way back at 185lb but I’m hoping that I’ll get it to 200lb by the end of the year.
As Meatloaf would say, 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.
At a bodyweight of 158.5lb, I reckon those numbers aren’t bad. Comparing them to the Strength Standards puts me firmly in the intermediate range which is about right since I’ve only been lifting since mid-2011. I was surprised to see that it’s my squat, not my bench, that is lagging according to Strength Standards - it should be around 250lb.
I’m excited to see how much I can push beyond these goals by the end of the year.
