So I'm back home finally. the olympics were great but after a month in China I am happy to be back home.
Im taking about a month and a half off from training and ill resume in mid October.
I plan on competing in a full indoor season in 09' it'll be my first one since 2005. I was never a great 60 hurdle guy but I think thats about to change.
I've set a couple goals for myself and here they are.
1. gain 15 pounds. I'd like to be 195 going into my indoor season and I think its possible seeing as ill be hitting the weight room harder than ever this fall.
2. power clean 300 pounds. my current best is 264 but that was while power cleaning on and off during college. this goal isn't the most important thing, but I'd just like to be able to say I can clean 300
3. Bench 315 pounds. this is another goal that isn't the most important thing but ice always wanted to be able to put 3 plates on each side. my current best is 305 so I'm sure getting to 315 shouldn't be a problem.
4. Vetical jump 40" - this isn't very important either, its just something I'd like to say I can do. my current best is 36-36.5.
track goals.
Indoor- run 7.65 or better
Outdoor- Make World Championship Final
My 4 year goal is to win Gold at the 2012 games in London, and the work starts now.
ill update things as fall training gets started.

Hector,
Great to see you setting those goals.
You may want to also look at increasing your core strength as well. The gold medal winner from Cuba had one of the strongest in a hurdler I have ever seen. Watching his wiast area, clearing the hurdles, from the frontal view, was as if he was on a stationary track with no wasted motion taking him off that center line of his lane.
I sure am proud of you!
Coach Good
