185 for reps by summer.
I only do incline though XD

**hammerfelt** · 02-10-2014, 10:15 AM

Same as you, but twice as old. I did not start lifting until age 43. 65lbs from goal.

353 though I am in the process of that going down so no hurry on bench goal.

**OutdoorsinCO** · 02-10-2014, 10:21 AM

I'd like to break 300. I've never maxed out on 1RM but I just nailed 225x7. My goal for the year is 225X10 so maybe 300 is in my future?

If you could hit 225x11,12 ... You should be able to hit 300 no problem

Using one of those calculators it says my 1RP max is 270 at my current 225X7, but I've noticed that number is usually low.

**Drew23** · 02-10-2014, 10:44 AM

Current goals are 600 Shirted and 400 Raw.

**Sp0nX** · 02-10-2014, 11:55 AM

I was able to do 275lbs for 1RM, I would like to do 300 6-8RM by summer time.

**Seads512** · 02-10-2014, 12:00 PM

If I could get 225 I would be pretty happy.

**DrunkonMilk** · 02-10-2014, 12:25 PM

I think 550 is a realistic goal for me.

Just gonna quote because you are the only other seemingly equipped lifter in the thread.

My goals are 434.5lbs shirted and 300lbs raw with a pause.

**Hardlifter9** · 02-10-2014, 01:01 PM

long term: Bench 500+ raw IPF weighing 200lbs or less, bench 510 in competition, world record for 93kg

Good luck with this. Should be sick.

**Questorify** · 02-10-2014, 01:10 PM

My goal for bench is 225 x 10 reps.

I'm currently stuck at 185 x 2 reps, I'm cutting too so I don't think I'm going to get to 200 lbs anytime soon.

Feeling weak AF.
FeelsBadBrah.

**Huskarl** · 02-10-2014, 01:16 PM

300kg raw drug free. Better aim high

For now it is 200kg raw before i turn 19

**InspecktaDeck** · 02-10-2014, 01:17 PM

Short term: 400(30lbs away)
Long term: alot

What is this shirted thing you speak of??

**isaku900** · 02-10-2014, 02:49 PM

500 raw this year is a goal.

755 shirted, if i can ever get back in gear.

551 raw is a medium-long term.

804 shirted is a long term.

**KennyWheels** · 02-10-2014, 04:22 PM

400+ raw at 181 weight class

currently best is 350 paused

also to bench in either Rio Paralympics or the one after that (most likely the one after Rio)

**NorthStrong** · 02-10-2014, 05:13 PM

275 atm lol.

**fabostrong** · 02-10-2014, 07:45 PM

Mine is to hit 440lbs natty at a bodyweight of no more than 170lbs. right now i'm at about 415.
