Setting myself a goal; to lift a combined weight of 1,000lbs (454kgs) in the big three - Deadlift, Squat & Bench Press. Likely split to be something like 180DL, 160Sq & 115BP. Provisional target date will be end of next year 24 December 2014.
A very long way short at the moment and maybe a little old to start, but what the heck. If I don't try I certainly won't make it.
Anyone here lifting these weights anyway?

442.5kg!
175kg DL
112.5kg bench
155kg squat
These are all in separate sessions, although I reckon I'm stronger on all of these now so could well be in the club!
Funny, just re-read the OP and see the numbers predicted are pretty much bang on mine except plus 5kg for squat and DL, and plus 2.5kg for bench!

divide the weight you've achieved by your body weight in kilos, then lets see the numbers
I agree. I think its far more important measuring your bodyweight vs what you can lift rather than an arbitrary number.
I'm pretty rubbish using this (read the true) measure. Just numbers alone, I'm pretty good.
Still its always worth having an aim I suppose!

For me it's just a round figure target.
If/when it's achieved maybe next goal will be 500kgs.
FTR I'm currently 82kgs but in order to achieve 1,000lbs I suspect I'll have to add at least 10-20kgs of muscle.
Won't know till I get there - way short now, effectively day zero.
By the time I've peaked I would like to hit the 1 tonne mark .If/when it's achieved maybe next goal will be 500kgs.
