    Qualify for 2019 Nationals as a Master 2 lifter.

    Chip away my current overall state record.

    Take all three individual lift state records would be icing.

    1. Complete my first Marathon in March.
    2. Complete my third Ragnar Relay.. times were pretty decent for first two, but can always be faster.
    3. Continue to gain strength with a progressive training program. I've shaved over two minutes off my one miler... and over three mins off my 5K since first beginning to run in 10/2016. I credit it all to weight training, running hills and plyometric exercises. Ladies on my team are now taking weights much more seriously!!

    Set a goal for a 405 deadlift last week when I was at 375. My last rep for 2017 405. I know I'm horrible at setting goals.

    A series of related goals
    1. Become more serious - really started Strength training in late summer.
    2. 1000 lbs club as M1 in competition
    3. Hit regional standard- 504kg
    4. Hit national standard - 545kg
    5. Do above at 93kg vs 105kg class - this one is a maybe as I believe when I achieve bf level I want it I’ll be 91-92kg.
    6. Run a 30 minute 5k

    1000 lbs total on the "big three" by my 52nd birthday (mid May).
    LOL I originally wanted to hit it by January 1st (tomorrow) but that was apparently a little too ambitious and didn't account for a couple of bouts of tendonitis and the month I spent revelling in my 8.1% Dexa in the summer and strutting around showing off my abs.
    I came up short by 45 lbs... Time to get serious again.

    Okay, I'm amending my original goal of "get swole" to something a little more measurable.

    200# squat
    250# dead
    135# bench
    105-115# OHP (not sure about this one)

    Start up deadlifting again after injury and Reset squat mentally >butt to grass. That would be nice.

    You are all awesome with your KA deadlift goals. I am just over here like... yea, if I could get 1.5x my bodyweight (which isn't that much btw) at any point in my life I will be happy!

    It's doable if you train deadlifts in less than six months.

    Small weekly weight incrementals and you should get there.

    Max out till you pass out.
    I'm not happy until I see the Milky Way galaxy in the gym.

    Improve my lifts as much as I can as I am only a beginner. Bulk up till may then cut down for the first time in my life to a low enough body fat to see some abs.

    Did everyone hit their goals for 2018? I ran my first cut, lost 15 pounds but lost quite a bit of strength along with it and am now further from my 1000 lb club goal.

    I did't have many set goals but to get stronger. I did that many times.

    Keep building the bod .. increasing strength and getting better at yoga will be nice too

    I did well... I definitely continued my bulk then cut, gained strength. My yoga instructor took some time off so I didn't continue with that, so that is the only one I didn't hit.

    Can't complain...2018 was filled with a revitalized consistency after a short 6+month hiatus of lifting throughout 2017 filled with doubt & slight sense of anhedonia & burn out from lifting. 2018 I've stayed on the ball, trying out many new exercise variations, techniques, etc. to keep things interesting (nothing radically different, like throwing oneself into crossfit)

    My new year’s aim is to read my programme properly. I have a habit of doing extra sets because I get carried away and then wonder why my form is slipping! 🤣
