Recap of 2013: Progress and Goals

2013 was a really good year on the strength side.  I train clean and don't take any illicit substances, so with that in mind, my strength jumps are pretty good.  Here's a snapshot of where I stand going into 2014, what my gain was over the last year, and where I hope to land by the end of this year:



Deadlift
585 lbs, up about 40 lbs, new goal 620 lbs
This is decent.  I'm really strong off the floor, but need to improve mid-range.

Squat
600 lbs, up about 45 lbs, new goal 630 lbs
I'm pretty happy with this.  Slow and steady wins the course.

Bench
420 lbs, up about 10 lbs, same goal 430 lbs
I'm pretty flat here, but in an area of diminishing marginal returns!

Log/Overhead
260 lbs, up about 30 lbs, new goal 300 lbs
I have some real growth opportunity here if I can stay healthy in my shoulders.

Rolling Thunder
203 lbs, up about 20 lbs, same goal 225 lbs
My grip is solid, but my goal is world-class!

Captains of Crush
Stuck on 2.5, aiming for 3.0
IBID to the RT comment.

Atlas Stones
Van's red (once), vastly improved, want to run his whole stack
I need to man up and run it!

Farmer's Carry
708 lbs for 50 feet, up about 100 lbs, same goal 760 lbs
I feel this is easily within reach.

Yoke
750 lbs for 80 feet, up about 100 lbs, goal 850 lbs
I think I'll do this in the next 3 months.

Frame Deadlift
730 lbs without straps, new goal 800 lbs
I think this is within reach without straps, definitely with them.

Double-overhand Axle Deadlift
400 lbs, up about 40 lbs, new goal of 450 lbs
This is tied to the other grip-strength stuff.  I'll be hitting this in 2014!

If the year goes as planned, I'll be knocking the door of a 1,700 lb. 3 lift max, which I think is very respectable for being raw and clean.  I'll be working hard to get there.

SO, that is the 2013 snapshot.  Here I come 2014!  Thanks to everyone for reading, and remember, that Rome wasn't built in a day!
