2025 Goals

I set "goals" in 2023, but they were essentially events that I wanted to participate in.  It was a mix of All-Round, Grip, Highland Games, Powerlifting, Triathlon, Strongman and CrossFit.  The only true goals were running an 8 minute mile and bench pressing 225 pounds.

In 2024, I did not bother setting goals, but I did have a draft competition calendar so that I could balance my training around the same modalities.  I competed in All-Round Weightlifting, Grip, Highland Games, Powerlifting, Triathlon and CrossFit.

As 2025 is approaching a post on the grip board got me thinking about what my goals could look like in 2025.  The original post set (3) grip goals, (3) general training goals and (3) health goals.  Along with those goals, he mentioned where he was starting from.  For example, goal of 20 pull-ups (currently at 15).

Goals:

CCS:  92 RGC GG3 close (2024 best close was 83 RGC at Dub's Grip Classic)

Powerlifting:  Total 800 pounds (2024 best was 762.5 pounds)

CrossFit:  6 Pull-ups (currently can do 1-2)

Mile Run:  9 minutes (2024 best was 9:45)

General Health:  Get down to 195 pounds (started the year at 198, weighed 205 this morning)
