Goals for 2013

There is nothing like public accountability so here are my goals for 2013.
The point of these goals is not to break any world records but rather to beat myself and enjoy the long ride of weight lifting :)

1) Deadlift >= 200kg | 441 pounds
Current best: 173kg | 381 pounds (conventional style, hook grip, no chalk) - November 2012

2) Pseudo-Squat >= 130kg | 287 pounds (approx equivalent to >150kg | 331 pounds squat)
Current best: 100kg | 231 pounds - January 2013 - Building my way back up
NOTE: Using a rusty machine harder than the squat itself due to a shoulder injury I'm recovering from

3) Must-have: Bench press >= 80 kg | 176 pounds - Nice to have: Bench >= 100 kg | 220 pounds
Current best: 100kg - Approximately November 1994
NOTE: Using a smith machine so that I don't kill myself training alone using a reverse grip :)
I am currently building my way back up from a shoulder injury, so staying healthy and injury-free is top priority at the moment

4) Closing the HG300 heavy gripper
Current best: 5 reps with HG200 - January 2013

5) Body fat <= 20%
Current bodyfat is somewhere between 25,5% (accumeasure) and 32% (from neck to waist ratio calculations), the goal is to get the accumesure number down to 20% and the waist one to 25-27%.
This is an opposing and lower priority goal so I chose a moderate fat loss (approx -5% body fat in one year)
