Goals for this year.

Here are my goals for this year,

Otago Powerlifting Championships

Squat: 330kg

Benchpress: 275kg

Deadlift: 305kg

Total: 910kg

South Island Powerlifting Championships

Squat: 340kg

Benchpress: 290kg

Deadlift: 310kg

Total: 940kg

National Powerlifting Championships

Squat: 350kg

Benchpress: 300kg

Deadlift: 310kg

Total: 960kg

Oceania Powerlifting Championships

Squat: 355kg

Benchpress: 305kg

Deadlift: 315kg

Total: 975kg

Big goals I know but if I want to push myself I have to set things like this. Also this means that I now have a BIG reason to train hard every time I go into the gym. I will also need to put a lot of effort in to making sure I get the strongman training done as well. My training for all this will start on this coming Monday the 9th of January. My first competition will be the Otago powerlifting champs in April, so lets bring on the training.

The 300kg benchpress is also a major goal this year and I will have to get my head into this as from now on I will have to be opening on 260kg at competitions to be able to get this done. To be the first person in the South Island and only the second person in New Zealand to have benched that much in competition would be a high light of the year, and to be able to do that in front of my people at the National Champs which are going to be held in my home city would be even more special.
