Goals and inspiration

It is said it is important to set goasl when you're trying to achieve something, so I'm (maybe for the fist time) setting goals, concerning not only my weight, but also everything else. Well, the most important part for me would be reducing my bodyfat percentages but that's tricky since I don't know exactly how much I have...I tried to measure it by myself with the caliper but I'm not sure I did it right.... The caliper says around 18% , my scale says 26%, this webiste http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html says 21%, some othher website 23%... I could go on.... :/  but I won't LOL, I'll see the progress in the mirror or pictures. 

I would like my bodyfat anyways to be around 15%, difficult, but not impossible.

Now for the strength goals, I'm basing for this on the leangains site (http://www.leangains.com/search/label/Training) , which says:

For women in the 115-155-lb range, the corresponding advanced strength goals are 0.9 x body weight bench, 1.1 x body weight chin-up, 1.5 x body weight squat and 1.8 x body weight deadlift. Relative to men, women have much less muscle mass around the chest area and shoulder girdle (men have much higher androgen-receptor density in this particular area), but the lower body is comparativly strong to the upper body.

Note it says advanced...so it might take a while til I'm there since I have just started:

Bench; 97,2 lbs = 44 kg.
Chin-ups: 118,8 lbs = 54 kg (so my own weight + 5 kg)
Squats: 162 lbs = 73 kg 
Deadlift: 194 lbs = 88 kg

Oh my dog! I have some work to do til I get there!!! 

Wish me luck! :D


The other day while chatting with my friend (kinda online-coach) to me we got to talk about competing, I aasked him if he ever thought of it and he asked back and I was like "who? me?!! NO!" LOL... It's becasue as for today I am not still confident enough to think I might achieve the physique that fitness models have... I sure want to and I'm trying... but since up to now I have had no results, my faith is almost lost.... But then again now I have changed my training plan quite a bit and I'm sticking to a diet that I can sustain for long, so...who knows?! maybe I can.

Some girls have got their competition figure on IF :
