Goals for 2017

[RussianBear]

Decided to do this little fun thing, to hear about goals of you powerlifters out there. Goal is to be understood in a broad way, so it can include non-powerlifting sportsgoal (for instance weight lifting etc).

So what are your goals for 2017?

Powerlifting:

• first gym competition (this week )
• first non gym competition (need to decide)
• deserve (total) to start in Polish nationals (October)
• getting stronger

and you?

how did it go?

Thank you for asking. It was fantastic

• Squat: 85 kg (+10kg from last PR check)
• Bench: 52.5kg (+7.5kg)
• Deadlift: 115kg (+15kg) I think I could manage 117.5

For 1 month (from last max check) as beginner I think is not bad progress.
and I need to add one more goal for 2017.. get stronger to make my training friend stop saying that I'm weak

[RussianBear]

very good!
We all want to get stronger, that is why we are here, seeking knowledge

I have a few competitions under my belt and best total of 700 in -83. I want to beat that, but 2017 will not be that year. I would like to recoup whatever strength I have lost and lose kilos i have gained during my period abroad. so 2017 goals are not that interesting for me - it is all about getting back in shape.

I am 40 and relatively new to Sheiko and powerlifting so this year I'm working on improving the big three lifts.  My numbers are Squat:230, Bench: 205, and Deadlift: 285.  My goal is to end the year at Squat: 290, Bench: 220, and Deadlift: 335.  All weights are in lbs.  Being so new to lifting I think these are realistic numbers to work toward but nonetheless, I consider anything more than what I have an improvement.

My main goal for this year is 530kg total in -83kg. (I need 527.5kg just to get to nationals)

So, based on that it would look something like this:
Squat 165 -> 180
Bench 120 -> 130
Deadlift 200 -> 220

are there quota on how many people that can participate in the nationals? or is it just to make certain there is a certain level?

Great question. I'm not sure, at least I didn't found it anywhere, but I think that there's not that many lifters that they would have to limit the amount of participants.

500 wilks raw.

[RussianBear]

500 wilks raw.

And a total of 910+

It is impressive to follow your progress over the years with sheiko.
Did you get to spend some time in Denmark?

915 is needed at 160/162 to have 500 wilks
Thanks! No not this time, just went for the championship. In the past I spend some time in Copenhagen and Roskilde.

Thats true, I was calculating with a Bw of 155.

I see you bought a magnetic board from a friend of mine, for boardpressing. What do you think of it?

Are you going to Minsk, in June for worlds?
Edit: I can see you are going, wish you the best of luck!

With 2017 more than one third gone I'll give it a go:

• Getting leaner in -105kg class
• Hitting 190+ kg raw bench
• Getting in the top3 in Classic benh nationals in September (Denmark)
• Hitting around 240-250 equipped (IPF) bench at the nationals in November.
• Start a log on this forum

So far I really like them Good size for gym bag and easy adjustability. Did 2 board press sessions with them so far, all was good.

Indeed prepping for Worlds now
