I'm not much of a New Year's Resolutioner (mainly because I think it's pretty silly to wait until a new year to set a goal), but now's as good a time as any to discuss this. Plus, I sometimes get the feeling that not everyone here has goals they're working toward, and this will hopefully help them get a little bit of structure.
This is mainly about lifting related/athletic goals, but feel free to add other stuff if you want.
Mine are simple: hit Elite (1396) at 181 at a meet this year. Go to at least three meets.

Aaron 11/24
Kroc Row
70lb DB x10
80lb DB x10
85lb DB x10
Front Squat
225lbs x3 x3
45* Hyper
25 reps
Some gripwork of 20kg plate deadlifts. My groin still was a little iffy, but I decided to front squat anyway. I really wanted to get 225 so I could prove to Justin they weren't that hard. They were, but I still did them. Big mistake. Really bad form, might have affected my back...I should've just done lunges.
My goal was to have a 1200lb total after only a year of lifting. That gives me 5-6 months (I started in June, but really Mayish) to go. If I can add 10lbs a month to my rep work, I'll be benchin 250, squatting 350, and deadlifting 410ish for reps, which might put me at a 4/3/5 gym lifts. It seems too ambitious. I might change it to a year and half. I really wanted it to be comp lifts, but that might be cutting it close.
I know 1200 is still really ambitious, but I am over 200lbs now, and I'm planning on getting to 100kg, plus, I recall someone said they are achievable if a trainee does everything right. I haven't done "everything right" but I still want to take the one year challenge. Oh, this comes with getting a 300lb overhead press by the end of my college time; about 3 years. Achievable? Maybe. I really believe I can hit those numbers safely, without serious injury.
