GOALS FOR 2011

[Tim Lewis]

It's that time of year again.

So lets hear some of the goals people have for 2011...whether it's particular wins you want to achieve, certain titles you want to win, weight class you would like to drop/move up to, tournaments you'd like to make, etc.

As for me,
I'm still working on my "win" list.

My main arm wrestling goal for the first quarter of 2011 is to begin planning to compete at 198. I've been talking about it for a year and a half but the talk is over now. I've giving myself to the end of March to make the weight but it may be a bit sooner.

[Kenny Hughes]

Awesome good luck on that is my favorite weight to make

[Ryan Thames]

To qualify for the 2012 arnolds.

To pull mike west fresh

To win 198 at contraband

To place if not win nationals.

To help motivate and resurrect "team Louisiana" to compete at nationals and show yet again to the world that Louisiana has the best, strongest, most tightly knit team in the country.

We will bring the force!!

[Danial Worely]

To win nationals at 176 this year lefty and to beat ryan at contraband righty to shut him up ( lefty it will be no challenge AT ALL )

[Ryan Thames]

Dude......


You just DONT KNOW!!

[Danial Worely]

I get that alot ......

[Josh 'Butcher' Bratton]

My goal eventho it may seem small to most is to pull atleast 4 tournaments healthy this year. Considering Ive only ever pulled 4 tournaments, all of which I was injured,dealing with major health issues, aswell as being untrained I think its a good way for me to get a start in the right direction.

[Brendan Downes]

My Goals for the new year is to keep attracting members for our small club here in australia, get others interested in the sport here, try to get some interstate matches happening and learn as much as possible from the few AWs that we have..oh and to be the best AW in australia in 2 years in any weight class ;D

[Robert Miller]

1st of all....Like a lot of you guys "Stay healthly" and for myself, win my 1st tourny this year!!!

2nd... Develop that little move we call "Top-roll" more & wrist rotation strength!

Good Luck to all you guys!!!

[Michael Phaup]

I have lots of goals for next year, but my # 1 goal is definitely to NOT GET INJURED. I have never been injured before and don't want to go through all that. Other important goals are:

place in at least 2 open tournaments this year (that will be tough because i will only be pulling 3 or 4 tournaments this year including nationals)

get my triceps stronger and start to develop a shoulder press

find my "sweet spot" on the table

To get more of my teammates to go to tournaments

qualify for arnolds 2012

improve my endurance

get my bodyfat to around 8 or 9%

[Jeramie Towle]

My main goal this year is to stay healthy, I havent been 100% in over 2 years now. I am going to try get my weight as close to 242 as I can. Not only for pulling but for my own health.

[James Worke]

I want to get my skills & my strength up to par where i can move from novice to opens sometime next yr. Get some good wins over some good novice competion to get there. Improve my hook & strengthen my toproll hit. Stay injury free as my first yr as a novice ends.

[Joseph Hammond]

I want to get back to 154lbs. (Now 167)
Rank in the top 10 in the Midwest at 154lbs.
Beat my partner Dave right handed.
Strengthen my wrist and backpressure.
Work on my hit.

[Michael Avery]

my goal is to be seen, then i think gears will be in motion.......

[Ryan Thames]

Harsh reality is...


In this sport. Once your "seen"..... Noone cares.... You will not be able to quit your job. And the people at work won't get it. And will laugh at you asking "when you turn your hat around, does it make you stronger? Make you feel
Like a truck?


Point is, if you are seeking fame and fortune, your probably in the wrong sport.
