Strength Goals
By Anne Keckler | March 7, 2008
One of the things I like most about weightlifting is that it’s so easy to measure success. I also love to feel strong and capable. My appearance is secondary to this, but I have to admit that I like to look strong.
As some of you may know, I hit my weightlifting goals just before I left for Cancun. Here are the stats, which are the same as before my surgery ten months ago:
Squat: 205
Deadlift: 255 (could’ve done 260, but didn’t want to search for the tiny plates to put on the bar)
Benchpress: 135
So I guess it’s now time to set some new goals! How about this:
Squat: 275
Deadlift: 315
Benchpress: 160
This would put me at the level of female competitive lifters in my weight class. I’m thinking it might take me a year to get there, though.
I’ll be writing about carbohydrates very soon. Stay tuned!

Great job! Those are some lofty goals you have set for yourself, but with the given time frame, I believe you will get it done. Good luck! 🙂
