What was your first "big" goal?

[BigGreen]

Just curious as to what people recall as the first big goal the set for themselves in this lifestyle and how vividly they recall achieving it (if they have yet) and how it affected their progress from then on. Me, I started hitting the weights about six months before my 18th b-day at 6'1" and a SKINNY 165. My goal was to bench press plates for one rep (didn't even know it as 135). So, i benched three times a week, friday being a monster day of loading up as many 5 pound plates on the bar as I could handle and then doing one huge stripset. I made it, but a day late Anyway, despite being a day late that made me hungry to hit more and more goals...eventually yielding about 80 extra pounds on to that bone structure that I cursed throughout high school (late bloomer i guess)

I'm always lookign for little anecdotes to inspire my newbie friends and such, so, anyone care to share?

Ahh!! the memories of my first goal, came when iwa sonly 14yrs old i wanted to be able to lift 115lbs with one arm overhead , it took me til my 15th birthday but i did it and my goal also helped me get stronger goals are great when they are reasonable

The one arm overhead...wow, very sandow-esque...i'm impressed.

[chinups]

205 for 10 was the greatest thing I ever accomplished in HS. Next goal=300 for one...

[The French Curler]

My only goal was to be strong, but now I want a bigger bench.
