Let`s make training GOALS for 2010 !

I`ll go first ......

deep breath....

300lb clean and jerk on film on NASGA before PTown.

About 7 months 

I was farting around w. an EZcurl bar the other day and did 245 x4. So this ain`t no cake walk here .  

Who`s up?

MAKE EM BIG AND BACK EM UP on film  - ONE huge goal for a killer 2010.

Well , you of all people will understand this mindset....as soon as I made the goal and commitement.....I had to take action that instant.

It was all the fake pretty machines gym for normal people had. Was ok. I usually train w. crap equipment . My bar is a 1inch $28 special from Academy that`s bent down on both ends from Don`s release snatches - hard ground here in Texas. I use a grab bag of 1 inch plates - from 50`s all the way down to get heavier than 350 or so. Any more and I head over to UT. 

Done it twice w. that bar(see ? I`m also just an idiot sometimes ) and I swear I feel stronger all ready. It`s a long , tight pull and jerk out.  

Mike and Craig, I will not be at P-town, but I would like to get in on this bet training goal. Clean and Jerk 300 pounds.

I'm in.........

This is a carry-over from the deadlifting thread but I want to finally pull 500 in early 2010.

I would also like to hang clean 225 by spring.

And Zercher squat 350 in 2010.

Mike, this sounds fun. We should be a very close battle. I would bet you are a little stronger than me in the clean and jerk right now. It will be a little unfair because I will be 41 next month and that gives you 10 years more experience.

600 rear squat 

500 front squat

Mike, you have motivated me......I will have to set a new short term goal of 275 pounds by Jan 1st 2010. Hope you don't mind me having the same goal as you.....

Here I am today after work missing 275 pounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b4Lo6LC_1Q

Let me know if you get 275 pounds.......

   550 deadlift by gulfport games in december.

   i like the sound of that 300# clean and jerk

   thanks for the motivation

Myles it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who's neighbors react that way. 

My training goals all wrap up to one motivating factor:  Beat Cosner! (love ya Ed, but I'm tired of being your whipping boy).

I think the people in this thread should be asking for a mule.  Horses are prima donnas.

Thanks Gene, I will try it the correct way next time. Watch out Mike B. and Mike D. I found a new coach.

Mike D. have you hit the 300 pound mark already?
