A fresh start, strongman style!

Believe it or not, I lifted a lot in December.  I did an abysmal job of posting, and definitely need to be a more regular record keeper.

Here's a recap of 2014:

I lifted 6.5 million pounds (weight x reps)
I logged an average of 45 minutes of cardio per week (just under 40 total hours)
I joined the 600 club on deadlift with a pull of 605 (current max is 615)
My squat continued to climb as I hit 615 x 2 (current max is 625)
My bench is flat at just over 400 (had some sternum issues, so holding my est. max at 420)
My total estimated 3 lift max is 1660 lbs
I won Utah's grip contest (King Grip II)
I tied for second at Utah's Strongest Man

I fondly remember pushing to get to 1500 lbs, and now that is so far in the rearview that I almost cannot believe it.

For 2015, I'm going after the following:

Deadlift: 650 lbs (double-overhand 600, axle double-overhand 450)
Squat: 650 lbs
Bench: 430 lbs
Combined: 1730 lbs (raw, clean)
Yoke: 900 lbs
Farmer's: 400 lbs (per hand)
Overhead: 300 lbs
Captains of Crush: #3

If you have too many goals, you likely won't hit any of them.  If you don't have any goals, you likely won't improve anywhere.  My overall goal is to get stronger, safely.  The above numbers will be fringe benefits to my continued training and effort. 

Here's to a successful 2015, and thanks for reading!
