big bump on that.

I wanna have 16-16.5 inch arms cold. 17 - 17.5 flexed. and I wanna weigh about 210 at 8% bodyfat. And basically I just want to increase overall mass significantly everywhere else.

I was at 210 at 15% and have 15 inch arms cold and 16 flexed.

Jagpreet, if you're not blessed w/great strength and 15 inch arms then how come you're dumbell curling 50's? maybe that's why you don't have 15 inch arms. worry about form.

**mass monster** · 04-18-2002, 11:39 PM

my goal is to be able weigh aroud 185 improve my bench and squat and hit tha abs more!

**Erkka84** · 04-19-2002, 01:29 AM

To increase my muscle mass by 25 pounds, and get a nice sixpack!

**helloyo** · 04-19-2002, 03:33 AM

how old are you people with the 15 and 17 inch arms? I'm 14 and my arms are just over 11

. But at least they have no fat on them.

You still don't know the difference between cold, pumped and flexed, huh Jeff?

**BIG FORD** · 04-19-2002, 04:08 AM

i wanna bench 300

**TommyTuret** · 04-19-2002, 04:42 AM

by New Years 2003: I think these are all feasible goals

Bench 3 plates (thats 315 lbs) a couple reps - I can do 225 for 5 reps now, and im moving up about 10 lbs every 4 weeks or so

Squat 405 lbs for 6-8 reps - I can do 315 for 8-9 now

Deadlift i guess around 350 for 6-7 reps - i pyramid up to 255 for 10 now but could do more, im just working on building form cause i haven't been deadlifting that long, I love it though. Its my favorite exercise

Barbell Bicep Curl with 2-45 lb plates on for 8 reps or so- I can do 2-35 lb plates for 5-6 now, I build biceps rather slowly for some reason, maybe cause im tall and have somewhat lanky arms

Be able to do 75 lb dumbells for military press for 8 reps
I can hit 65 lbs for 5-6 reps now

Row 225 lbs for a full set - i can get 185 now for 6-7 reps

Incline Bench 225 lbs for a full set- i can get about 185 for 6-7 reps

And in general i am at 212 lbs now at 6'3", i want to get to 225 with a lower BF% (<10%) if possible.

Cut 34 inch waist to 30 inches or even less

**str8flexed** · 04-19-2002, 05:42 AM

Now- 215
Contest-Most likely 190-195

Next year bulked-225-230
Contest-200-205

Get ready.
Peace

**MightyMouse** · 04-19-2002, 05:49 AM

Next year I'm thinking 180 bulked. This year I got to 160+ bulked, so 180 bulked for me next year will be good...Then cut to about 160....

Cutting

**/\/\etallic/-\** · 04-19-2002, 06:00 AM

i wanna be 200 by this time next year. Come this fall..its hardcore bulk time

**AsianInvasion** · 04-19-2002, 06:01 AM

Double my body weight in bench. Thats just 50 more pounds to go

**cramron** · 04-19-2002, 06:10 AM

i couldnt give a rats ass about how much weight i can do in a year from now(even though a 315 bench is tempting) all i want is to improve my biceps(which im doing a good job right now) i need to improve the shape of my shoulders(they are also getting closer to what i want) i need to lose a little muscle in my lower chest and put some quality muscle on my upper chest, got to lose improve the width of my back, not thickness, im genetically engineered for a thick back, i weigh 198 right now, a year from now i want to weigh 212,im gonna be looking forward to starting competition a year from now, maybe a little more than a year, ive got most of my mass, i need to bring out the quality in my muscles now

**thegame2183** · 04-19-2002, 07:23 AM

I want to be able to put up 400 pounds once on the bench...

**Sobolic** · 04-19-2002, 07:30 AM

Since I just got done competeing my goal is to grow! Bring up bodyparts I feel are lagging.

Bodyweight to about 240-245 @ 10%. 220 @10% now. I'm 5'8".

Arms @ 18 1/2 flexed they're 17 right now.

Bench 315 reps of 6

Squat 595lbs for 2, 405 for 12

Deadlift 545lbs for 4.

These goals are to be reached by new years, but I've found it helps to set up smaller goals on the way. Ex. 2 months from now I want to be putting up 275 for 8 unnassisted then 2.5 months later 295lbs for 6, then 315 for 6 by new years. I've found setting a bunch of small goals, even goals in an individual workout helps out immensely! Give it a shot.

**Beast** · 04-19-2002, 08:04 AM

Now: 175-180 lbs.

By Feb: 210-220 lbs. Mostly muscle. Some fat.

yes I do, but I don't see the point in measuring a pumped arm because your arms are only pumped after a workout. i just use cold to signify hanging down and flexed to signify flexed

**Thomas** · 04-19-2002, 08:32 AM

I don't see the point in measuring a pumped arm neither. Maybe the way you use it would be better. I wonder why it is the way it is.
There are just some things man can't understand...

**rpgnick** · 04-19-2002, 09:54 AM

Currently about 5'9" 174-179lbs, 16 or so % body fat, benching a max of close to 210-215, 14 or so inch arms flexed (lol got to love the rough estimates, i need some measuring tape)

Looking to be about 5'10"-5'11" (please grow ;p), 9-11% b.f., benching close to 260-270, 16 or so inch arms flexed by next April or Summer.

**Jean Schernoff** · 04-19-2002, 10:03 AM

Overcome my genetic potential.

**scott** · 04-19-2002, 10:21 AM

i want to be 200 pounds at 10% body fat on my first day of uni which will be in november 2003

**aledef** · 04-19-2002, 05:48 PM

we're still in April....
come on!

**To(V)** · 04-19-2002, 05:55 PM

To weight 300lbs at 6'5'' at 8% body fat - but some things just aren't going to happen.
If I could get up to 14 stones 3lbs (200lbs) and not have a big gut I'd be happy with that. Forget super ripped with veins - I'm not really after that. Just big, burly, not much fat. Gotta love that.

**Tony** · 04-19-2002, 05:57 PM
