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 - 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'm in.  These are the goals I set for this offseason:

315+  clean/PP  (not trying to one-up anyone here)

450+ FS

600+ Deadlift

Pulled 565 last Friday.  Gonna see if I can get 585 for Xmas.

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

 mountain man, i pulled 505 # on the DL

  looking forward to gulfport again

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?

Oooh, I like goals...

550 squat, 600 Deadlift, 380 Bench by April(just in time to start training for Rugby and throwing practice) for my next PL comp.

Military 225lbs(don't laugh:( I suck at these) and push press maybe 300(is 75lbs more on PP typical?)

8 second mark.

Wow...I missed it first time watching the clock...had to go back.  I was like...'chains? those aren't for clean and jerk"

Nope.  I hit a 295 clean in my 07/08 offseason.  but, when i got sick the second half of 08 i lost alot of strenght, particularly upper body.

did hit a 275 double PP last night.  I think with a little technical improvement and continued strength gain over the OS I will be able to hit the 315.

You gonna be at Orlando?  I am coming down to spectate on Saturday and compete on Sunday.

Mike, yes I will be at Orlando, 30 days and counting........

I will be throwing Saturday in the masters 40-44 group. I think I have a very good shot at over 20' in the WOB. 

Daaaang!  20 feet is high especially for an old man.  

You should be with us on Sunday, brother.  

Lets see...goals. Well, i feel i need a quick explanation, so im not laughed off of these forums.  Ive been lifting for a 2 months, and my goal is to build a type of foundation of strength (great timing, considering its the off season). I havent been training for speed. Once i feel my base strength is adequate, Ill start training for explosion as well.

Goals for 2010:

Dealift 405  Current is 325

Front squat 300  Current is 225

Back Squat 400  Current is 350

Bench Press 225  Current is 165

So those are kinda the basics.  These numbers suck now, but im hoping to see large improvements.  haha, I always feel so pathetic looking at my numbers, then seeing you guys lift.  Ill get there someday.

The thing that people dont understand is the comaraderie that exsists in Highland Games...'

Whether your Pro, am a,b,c, novice, master, lifting 100 or 800#...  It doesn't matter, we treat everyone like family..

We are all here to motivate and drive each other... 

Thats what drives me to this sport...  I remember Ryan telling me to do line drills when i first started and I looked at him and said "Line drills, what are they" and he showed me as we walked into the restuarant...

So no matter your strength or skill level we are all together!!!

I think I can hit 17' standing. I will try this weekend and see.

My best is only 14' standing with the 56 pound.

Well, here goes.

My numbers are nowhere near some of the numbers on here, but I thin I have done well over the past few months, so here are my goals for 2010.

Deadlift: 475 by July

Squat: 400 by July/August

Bench: 300 sometime this year...haha

As far as Highland Games, I am really hoping for some big jumps in nnumbers this year over last year, as I finally feel comfortable at my lower weight.

squat 550 deadlift 620 bench 430 pp315  i lift at 198 and im a lightweight  to datw 501 573 425 245x3

FRICK!!!  198lbs and pulling 573?!?!

Amazing!  Nice.

Training goals...simple: train consistently, listen to my body, no injuries, while achieving 325 bench, 455 DL, 405 squat.....oh yeah, and the wife sez lose 50 lbs!

Throwin' goals...simple as well: turn a caber in competition, get a mark in sheaf, and be within 10 ft of any of Baab's throws!

damn.. are you a competitive PLer(obviously your numbers are competitive, but do you compete?)? I just used a question mark, followed by a parenthese, followed by a question mark!

 how tall are you?

Pretty sure there are laws against that!

  this is definetly a true statement. since i started throwing in 2006, i had many guys who compete give me excellent advice and taught me many things. it truly is a great sport.

 lets keep on encouraging one another

we r in it together

Low hanging snatch grip dl 600x1, Hi-bench, bench squat 800x1, good morning 405x10, get some air w/500 -trap bar jumps and 242 x1 no knee bend power snatch.

May need more height to hang with you 47 year olds. The PS is the only indicator for me to gauge success in the wob. Last year I played it safe in the wt rm with anything overhead in an effort to avoid injuries.  Been doing some serious rehab on the shoulder to help with the power snatch volume and the hammer winds. Been digging the training clips.

Rob - 20 is mystical high  . I ve got some great pictures pf the implement sitting on 20 -and rolling back- waaagh!  Make sure you get video - imagine how proud you ll be when you re 60.

DaaaaAAaaaamn but you boys are STRONG!!! 405 x 10 goodmorning and 500 fronts and EIGHT HUNDRED!!! Those weights would nail drive my ass .

Yall are all working waaay too hard I was just kidding around

Progress so far . Wednesday did 15 10yard grass short hill sprints and a ton of 10 yard agility on grass , maybe 20. Jumprope 100 . Threw a 35lb rock around . Core heavy rotation machine - killer!. Thursday 40 heavy hammer winds - these are starting to feel good again.  I had 30 minutes bn clients and wanted to yank. Slapped on my knee sleeves and hotbalm and my special clean pants and a black KO tank top and grabbed my straps . Loaded up the EZ curl w. 250 and worked up to 3 singles in cleans - rack em all this year . Did 3 sets of 5 continous heavy ass cheater curl cleans for caber w 200. PPress - 200 x 4 x 3 sets - using the split. 20 legraises continous.

Here s a challenge for you boys ..hehehehe.......get an ab wheel and let s see who can roll all the way out to belly touching floor and come all way back up - nothing but toes and hands on the wheel touching ground - yep - no knees . 

This weak old man did it 3xs . Any takers hehehe

Ya, whenever I start to think I'm not doing too bad for a little  guy, I have to hang out with berby and get my arse kicked.  Did you get my message the other night berby?

Berby can pull, throw and spell. We just gotta get em to pack his bags and compete with some 190 studs.

Don's none video training log. DL 315 x15 x15 x15, 125 lb kettlebell right arm pull thrus x10x10, Good Morning Squat 185 x10x10, Snatch Hi-pull from mid shin 135x10x10, 55lb kettlebell throws for height x20.

I often wonder if he is just writing in a foreign language that I don't understand. 

For the future, just use a browser like Firefox with the spell checker buit in.  pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase.

17/20  - ummm that's 125 reps by my count . Are you doing some Merlin thing and growing younger ?

My training log this weekend......0....yep....not a damn thing....and I feel great!

Gonna get two good lifts w. some tossing /winding etc thrown in this week w. one running day.

Baab, I think you and I are on the same page here. Shoveling snow for two hours (you can google "snow") is a great way to work/fry your lower back and hamstrings.

I managed to get an hour of throwing in before the first flakes started falling ("flayks" = unit of snow). Did about ten braemars with the 28# (31') and ten single spins (66') plus some hammer winds. Felt good. I am definitely a "thrower who lifts" (sometimes).

Might even try this "running" stuff you speak of.

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool, no way im doing that.

CooolOne - google sprinting my brotha.....running is for those skinny bastards from Kenya.

Coool(er?) OneDave - find a grassy slope....uh....ok , find a stairwell or fire escape and do 10-20 short mad dashes in all the agility ways you remember from high school football. I believe Kearney is/was a sprinter. Doesn't NuuYawk Seety have a purse snatching Runaway championship?

Snow shoveling is why Yankee boys are so good at sheaf - Damned unfair I say . What am I supposed to do ? Shovel rocks? hmmmmevilideammm

Mike the weights down ( I think I'm under 260) and my energy level up big time. It's been several months since I DL'd;they were flying up. The 10x10 winding down, but the results have been positive. That workout felt very easy after several weeks of 10x10x2 per week.

Berby is the modern day wind talker.  

Here are 2010 goals for two lifts new to my arsenal:

Front Squat: 525

Incline Bench Press: 400

My training starts Monday 1/11/10
