I have been training for about three months now and I have set a goal for myself to hit the 1000 pound club (combined squat, bench, and deadlift) by the end of my first year. I am currently at a 650 pound total and I am making good progress each week.

I am 25 years old, 6 feet tall, and I weigh about 200 pounds. I am eating plenty of food and following a strict 5x5 program. I am wondering if this is a realistic goal for a natural lifter or if I am being too ambitious. I know the gains start to slow down after the first few months.

Has anyone here hit a 1000 pound total within their first twelve months of serious training? What did your numbers look like at the start and what kind of programming were you following? I am really motivated to hit this milestone and I would love to hear some success stories or reality checks.
