I talk about my plans for my next competition and share some of my weight lifting goals. I’ve qualified Nationally twice but need to win 1st or 2nd at a big national qualifier before I have a real shot at winning at Nationals to become a Pro Bodybuilder in the Figure division.

Biggest areas that need improvement areas include Hams and Back.

Some of my lifting goals:

1) Squats – I want to get at least 225lb parallel squats. I’m strong in the upper range of motion but have never really focused on DEEP squats, which is what counts!
a. Going lighter and increasing weight
b. Using smith machine to go lower and get used to weight
c. Below parallel box squats

2) Butt – Hip thrusts is a main focus. 315lbs has been my max for 3 reps. I’d love to get that up to 10 reps and be able to hip thrust 4 plates on each side – 405lbs!

3) Hams – Glute Ham raises, Kettlebell swings, and Stiff Leg Deadlifts with dumbbells and barbells. 

4) Back – Pull-ups galore! My best is bodyweight for 3 sets of 10 reps.  Weighted pull-ups is my goal this year.  A crazy cool goal would be to do a strict version of a muscle up since that’s more focus on strength vs the CrossFit version that predominantly teaches kipping muscle ups.

5) Shoulders – Barbell shoulder press at 100lbs for 10 reps. 90lbsx6 is my current best.  Handstand pushups would be awesome too!

6) Abs – still working on getting deeper cuts with weighted ab exercises and basically anything that’s tough!

7) Single Leg Kettlebell Squats – not a main focus but 10 reps would be amazing.

8) Chest – Not a main focus but 70lb incline dumbbell presses for 10 reps would make me very happy.  Also bench of 135lbs for 10 reps would be cool.  Bench is not a focus and is not as strong compared to other lifts.


I encourage everyone to write down their goals so you can look back on it and see what amazing progess you’ve made!
