about 2 and half years ago before whole serious of injuries I was 95kg and I did following for 1RM, Bench 135kg, Squat 160kg, Deadlift 180kg.
Now I'm 82kg and I've no idea what my bench is (none in my gym), but my squat for 5 reps is 110kg and my deadlift is 115kg.
My goals are the same lifts as before, but hopefully at no more than 85kg body weight. I'm around 12% bodyfat now, but I want to drop to around 10-8%, the last time when I did my big lifts I was around 16-18% body fat. Get bigger arms than last time as well. Right now they are 15" with pump (14.5" without) and I want them to be bigger by at least an inch or inch and half.
Well, that's my goals for the next 6-12 months.
I think first thing I need to do is improve and watch my diet, since I know I should be able to do the rest training wise.

There was a similar question asked at the end of last year, and my reply back then was to get to 100kg. At the time I was 90kg and training hard, with building more muscles as my priority.
Things have changed dramatically since then...
Today, after not training for about 2 months, I lost 15kg. I know, I lose weight when I don't train and gain when I do (mainly muscles). My outlook on life has changed immensely in those few months since my reply last year.
I no longer eat meat, chicken, eggs, or dairy. No, I'm not a vegetarian nor a vegan, as I do have sardines. My focus has been on balancing the omega 6 to omega 3 ratios and on taking in only what I need of those two essential fatty acids to help my body do the rest (in manufacturing all other different fatty acids).
My diet now would be about 80-90% carbohydrate, no processed (or hardly any) processed food though. My goal is to finally enjoy what I have been involved in for the past 32 years of my life, and that is the lifting of weights. It all started way too seriously back in 1980 (where if I did not show up to training, I would have been given a ticket/fine of $50). Big money back in the early 80s. So it was either perform or see you later...
That attitude I ended up imposing upon myself after leaving Olympic weightlifting and taking up the sport of bodybuilding. Well, I've decided that enough was enough and I will enjoy myself from now on and train the way I want to train and not the way I have to train.
I did all the wrong things after my fall down the stairs back in Oct 2009, which caused more harm to both my left shoulder and elbow, hence I've taken two month off recently.
What's my goal NOW? It's to get back into training, beginning next month. I want to power clean until the cows come home. I want to be healthy, fit, and looking my best as I approach my 47th birthday.

Thank you Bella, you’re so sweet. I was contemplating starting a journal on here, but I'm still in that contemplating mode. I just want to be free Bella, free from me, that is all really.

Hmmm you're a man born of years of conditioning and commitment Fadi.
Freedom is already yours, you just have to allow it my friend
Just as all of us do...
We're all so very different aren't we? But ultimately, in the very end...we all seek freedom in some sense. We tie ourselves to ideals Fadi...each and every one of us.
Throw off the shackles, dust out the cobwebs, let go of yesterday, for whilst it's beautiful in many ways, it has no place in the present. You are you, in this very moment - whatever you want to be and do and feel and see, you can.
Freedom....what beautiful things, the word alone, does for the heart
