Lifting goals
I’ve had goals off and on, of weights I wanted to get to. 250 bench was one, I achieved that a while back. I’ve realized that weights lifted is also related to your weight. For instance, much easier for a 240lbs dude to bench 250 than for a 150lb dude.
My new goals for lifting are to lift 150% of my bodyweight for all the big compound exercises. Not talking maxes here either. I have never really maxed out for only like 2 reps. I prefer to do at least 6 reps. So…what this really means is lifting 150% of bodyweight for 6 reps.
For instance if I weigh 190lbs I would be benching/squating/deadlifting/pull-uping/dipping 285. Obviously the squatting and deadlifting will be the easiest to achieve and I’ll probably be past this goal by the time I can pull-up 285lbs x 6 but overall I think this just provides a great goal to get to.
Currently I’m doing about 120% of my bodyweight for these exercises.
