Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225 495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq	when I started in strongman competitively amongst lots of short term little goals I had two BIG goals. qualify for and compete in esm u105 and put on a strongman comp myself. after I did those I dropped weight and my new goals were to qualify for and compete in esm u90 and promote a national final. I did the latter last year and all things being well ill have done the former in a couple of weeks. now, I have no idea what to do after that. no idea whatsoever. and I really feel like I need to come up with something or im just going to end up getting nowhere. anyway, with that, im interested in hearing whether others have/had any BIG goals? what they are/were? are they necessary? what did you do when you achieved them? have you ever got to a point where you couldnt think of anything hugely motivating to aim for? are gym pb's enough to keep you going or has the competitive element got to be there?

Gone and easily forgotten....... Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 02.07.2013 @ 16:42 PM by MrSmall Its been so lOng since ive trained without a major long term goal that i dont remember what its like. If i dont have a plan for a few days or a week or two i dont train anything. I love the process of learnIng and improving yourself but ultimately its with some sort of major goal in mind.

Member 4416, 1371 posts SQ 210, BP 175, DL 240 625.0 kgs @ 122kgs UnEq	I'm 32 next week. I've only been strength training with any sort of realistic routine for a short time. My long term goal is to compete at a high level. What a high level is to me; would be something like a national strongman comp. Win or lose, to get there ever would be immense. I'm fit and although a late starter, I don't care for believing that age is a hindrance. Ask Od Haugen or Mark Felix. My short term goal is to master a lift of anysort; at the moment it looks like it will be the deadlift. Even if my numbers aren't huge, just to be respected for lifting well where other people might look and go "that's how to do it". I.E - Mark Felix deadlift. When I can't lift anymore because I'm too bloody old, the ultimate realisation would be that I had little injury or minimised all chances of injury by training smart and only hurting myself when I'm balls to the wall in competition. I like this thread because I realise how new I am to all of this and I have the beginners excitement I guess. I had that in combat sports and lost all sense of any goals at one point so maybe it's just my honeymoon period. p.s - I would totally bone Kelly Brook. Is that a goal or a delusional thought? She trained at my kickboxing club many years ago when I lived in the same town. If only she would just return one of my 500 unanswered emails...

Member. Member 2171, 1612 posts	How about instead of just intending to compete, have a goal to be successful at Englands? That's the next step after completing the "competed at" goal

#IStandByMillsy Member 4287, 2614 posts SQ 300, BP 310, DL 250 860.0 kgs @ 120kgs Eq	I have regular lift-specific targets, that gradually get increased as they are met - but not even any long term ones for those tbh. I would like to qualify for a natural national final in the u105 category, a regional bench press record or small comp win would be nice to! That's about it for the minute, just need to find a little more strength

Man up and have a fuckin coffee Member 2086, 9717 posts SQ 340, BP 252.5, DL 300 892.5 kgs @ 158kgs UnEq	Short term goal would be to break the overall Brit bench record to go alongside my drugfree Brit bench record . Secondly i would like to compete in arm wrestling at a high standard. Thirdly i would like to rekindle my boxing training and get back in the ring and do some local toughmen comps .
