Bench 120k (plus the bar), one rep, by end of May - reasonably possible;
Deadlift >100k for reps regularly, without hurting my back, or getting intolerabe hamstring pain afterwards, in the next four months - I should be able to do this, but I've never been much good at deadlifts;
Squat >= 120k for at least 5 reps, and multiple sets, as an unexeptional part of leg workout - by middle of year - maybe.
I'm a bit on the fence about it. I can see where you're coming from but also think you need something to aim for. Careful balance between the two I guess?
My goals this year would be
75kg - lean as opposed to the 75 with 25+% bf I usually see
120kg x 3 bench
100kg x 3 front squat
And being able to run 5km without coughing up a lung
i have a goal in my head, but im not going to lose sleep if i get injured, or feel too tired and take extra rest and don't make a number that week...
gotta be strict, sure. but being consistent is key, the numbers will come without even thinking about it.
pro's don't stick to routines. thats media and advertising to newbies. once you have the discipline to not only train, but cook your food, eat it, rest... oh, and train
theres more to it than just getting some numbers.
most newbies i see going after numbers look unbalanced and don't even look like they lift... even lifting very heavy weight!
I get that.
I've given myself a whole year to put 20kg on my deadlift.
My priority is the 10% bf. And if I maintain or increase my strength in doing so, I'm happy.

Done all of these feats before except never squatted 220 without wraps. My knob goes where I go most of the time. Except the other day I think I saw it squidding at woodman point.
This thread started last year with a few mates, who enjoy following each others training logs all putting something down on paper as to what they would like to achieve for the year.
No ones going to neck themselves if they don't make it.
200 squat, 150 bench, 220 dead. End of year
142.5 squat, 115 bench, 170 dead, are my 1rm's at the start of year
92kg end of year @10%, currently 96ish at about 18-20%
