I'd like to say "dead lift 300Kg before Carl does", but I think he'll get there before I do!

A couple of short-term lifting targets I've got are - raw squat 220Kg (almost there) and power clean 120Kg (I know I could do it now if my technique wasn't ****e).

Apart from that - just keep improving, don't get injured, and hopefully put in some decent comp performances!

I'd also like to 'pinch' a pair of 20Kg discs with one hand (see Sugden).

Oh, and get on TV again - for more than 10 seconds!!!


Easy to train for.

Take a pair of 15's and stick a loading pin through the holes. Train until good. Add a small disc each side (1.25's), repeat until strong. Keep going until you hit 2 x 15's plus 7.5-10 kilos added and then try a pair of 20's with no pin (as the pin makes it a tad easier). Job done. Next.

It'll take about 6-8 weeks.

    Steve, what would you describe as a world class one handed pinch (for men)? A pair of 25Kg plates maybe??
    Thanks for the training advice. I have no trouble with a pair of 15Kg plates, and have also done them with a light chain threaded through - just to add a little extra resistance.

      A pair of 20's is still a good feat. A pair of 25's would be better. David Horne's WR of 67+ kilos has been unbeaten (using a special set up) for years.

        Lift targets:


        Suited deadlift from 305kg to 325kg
        Raw deadlift from 290kg to 310kg

        Push Press from 140kg to 155kg

        Squat from 272.5kg to 290kg




        Event targets:

        Get my log clean and press to a reasonable standard, ideally 130kg plus. Poor at the moment due to lack of practice (want a log for Christmas :)  )

        Improve my speed and conditioning a little, particularly with yoke and farmers

        Work on both aspects of my grip (will be talking to Steve about this one next time Im at the Whey ;-)  )



        Try to get my bodyweight up a bit from the 280 - 285lbs I'm currently sitting at




        Essentially I just want to keep improving and enjoying it, I had a good year this year with a 5th place in an intermediate, and then a 5th in an open comp, putting me a year ahead of schedule

            Lift in several comps.

            Place well.

            Not be disapointed with my performance for a change.

                  800kg total @ 82.5kg/90kg would be sweet. Something like 330, 150kg, 320. I'll be there or there abouts on the sq and dl just crack on with bench.

                    32.5Kg done!
                     
                    Also did 33.5Kg, although my weaker (left) hand could ONLY JUST manage it.

                      Goals for next year (or after)-

                      400kg squat
                      200kg+ bench
                      350kg deadlift

                      1000kg single ply total would be nice at some point in the near future.

                      All stepping stones until I can get back into strongman, that's where the love's at!
                      Squat: 363kg

                      Bench: 195kg

                      Deadlift: 300kg

                      @ (currently 114kg)

                      ...soon to be obliterated!

                        Try, with the weaker hand, an assist. You use a couple of fingers of the non-working hand to help pull the set up upwards and then use ONLY the working hand for negatives.

                          Thanks for that tip, Steve.

                          Do you think piching has any carry-over to other types of gripping (like keeping hold of farmer's walk handles)?

                            A little. Pinch works the thumb well and that'll mean a better grip because you'll oppose the fingers better and be better able to lock the thumb over the fingers in farmers hold type movements.

                                  240kg deadlift for 4x4
                                  180kg squats for 4x4
                                  120kg Bench for 4x4

                                  They are my rough targets for this time next year but as long as I keep going like I have been for the last 6/9 months next year I will be happy. I would also like to cut some body fat back and hopefully do my first comp at 90kg.

                                    My aims for next year are to bring up my squat and deadlift to 300kg currently on 260 raw just a belt and to improve my push press to around the 180 mark on 140 now for 3 that was heavy but my shoulders arent as strong as they should be and i want to improve my log lifting, made a new one a couple of weeks ago its 13 inches thick and its 75kg before any weight goes on it.
                                     
                                    I will also be helping to get two of my mates british powerlifting champs again ones 75 unequipped and the other is going for the raw and equipped titles hes in the 56 catergory

                                        Hard to set goals for next year at moment.  Due to the fact that I tore my bicep in last comp, not sure how bad it is yet have just been for MRI today.
                                        So I guess goals are to get over injury how long this will be will depend on weather scan shows i need an op or not.  Worse case scinario will be to hopefully get some comps in twards end of summer.
