Honestly to be a badass in the gym and look like it. For the 2018 I have the following weight room goals while getting down to to below 10% at 185.

Would like to be able to complete all 5 of the greyskull villain challenges(yes event the 100 burpees in 5 min), be able to do the bring sally up challenge with 185lbs and have the following lifts

Deadlift-500
Squat-405(225x50 also)(bw x 100 is another goal)
Bench-315
Standing press-225x5
Power clean-275x3

So advanced to elite in all catagories according to the starting strength standards.

Also I would like to be able to complete the gymnastics bodies foundation courses, handstand courses 1&2 and rings 1.

Also final goal is to beat My score that I got on my army pft 15 years ago when leaving boot camp which will require me to do :

More than 78 push-ups in 2 min(villain challenge calls for 100)
More than 81 sit-ups in 2 min
2 mile run in less than 14:46.

I'm looking to actually beat those reps/times not my age adjusted total score, frick that. So gonna have to start running more, which blows.

Work on developing my abs more. Be able to dunk more consistently. Work on my vertical/explosive movements and lifts

Dear Lord, man, how old are you? On the one hand, I'd imagine you couldn't be too young as you'd have to have built up a substantial base over years to even consider getting to those. On the other, you'd have to be on the precipice of being too old to take all the gear those numbers would require(Im not judging). Seems like that could lead to injuries and be detrimental to your overall health. No matter, good luck.

Truly, when I turn 40 in 5yrs: Be strong, mobile, and fast without facing inevitable hip, shoulder, or back surgeries. I've got 4 kids and they are all active, I want to ensure I can lift with my boys when they're in high school and can continue to run track with my girls.

Most of my goals in the gym have become speed focused, I want my modest 350 squat to be explosive more than I want to work toward 400. I do 400m repeats once a week and I'm working on my goal there, just haven't decided - those frickers are pure pain.

3, 4, 5 plates for bench, squat, and deadlift. I'm 5'10" 175lb and I'm almost there on bench and deadlift. Squat is holding me back a bit though.

Maintain muscle and keep on getting stronger and faster. Currently doing three sets of 3 to 5 for the big three. Sitting at 405/315/355(started deadlifts later than the other two). Haven't had to dip below five reps on any sets so far. If I can have better body comp and hit maxes where I anticipate they'll be, I'll be happy.

I've been slowly losing weight since January, with the biggest drop coming since June. The past month or two I really saw my strength numbers drop.

Also, I didn't seriously squat until this Spring but I did hit 275 back in May. Had to drop 250 on the pins last week.

This week I started a refeed and want to build my strength up again. My goals are to add 100 lbs to my deadlift and squat, and hit 400 on bench.

other than running the Hardrock 100 ultramarathon one day...

I just want to feel strong and have good enough cardio endurance to be able to not only run 5ks easily, but also do HIIT type workouts without dying

I honestly have zero desire to lift heavy things

if I can bench, deadlift, and squat all around the 225-250 range, I'm quite happy

I just want to lift my own dick without assistance. Bitch is heavy.


Also, lose about ten lbs. I want to get better at pull ups, muscle ups, etc.

600 dead and squat. I was damn close to pulling the 600 dead before Harvey flooded my house. Frick you Harvey.

I'm probably never gonna get it on squat. I did something to my knee doing BJJ and it hurts squatting past 405.

Frick bench. Barbell bench weight is for youngsters and powerlifters. Sadly I'm out of that game now.

My Goals:
Bench: 315
Squat: 405
Deadlift: 405

Current:
Bench: 265
Squat: 350
Deadlift: 335 (I know don't laugh)

Really need to focus on improving my deadlift. Don't know if it's a mental block or what but I seem to struggle no matter what I do.

Current bodyweight is around 180 because I'm trying to add size. I'm usually in the 165-170 range.

Right now I'm 160 lb.

Short stature so bench is one of my more advantageous lifts. I'd love to hit that 315 mark within the next year; that may be more of a stretch goal with 300 as the real goal. Haven't maxed in years so I have no idea where I'm actually at. My most recent workout I went 135x12, 185x10, 205x8, 225x6.

Currently my main goal is increasing stability in my left knee (acl surgery) so that I can get into heavy (heavier?) squats again. Not sure if that is actually attainable, though. Right now I can hit 135x12 no problem, but if I try to up weight to say 185 my knee gets into some serious, sharp pain. It's very frustrating. Moreso because I can leg press 450 for reps no problems at all. I'm hoping that might mean it's my form on squats and I can get it back.

I can't deadlift heavy. I've had lower back problems my whole life. Just not in the cards for me ha.

A side goal is increasing my bicep curl (I'd love to get some aesthetic growth along with this). I'm so freakin' weak there. They just won't grow (strength or size).

Lots of jealous people with the downvotes in the OP. I embrace your hate.
