He never tried 340. He's a young kid who reads the internet and already knows he needs more Volume.

Well, he does. He’s doing an intermediate program and only pulling once a week for a single set of five. No cleans, RDLs, SLDLs, light deadlifts etc.
Sub out one of the chin-up slots for light deadlifts or a variant. If it’s a movement you haven’t done before, you should be able to linearly progress it for a while.
The NLP has significantly more pulling volume than the posted program, as does pretty much any other program from PPST3 or elsewhere on this site, so I’m not sure the novice vs. intermediate debate makes much of a difference here.
Also, maybe there’s something in the OP’s posting history that I’m unaware of, but what indicates he should not be doing an intermediate program?
Out of curiosity Satch, do you think the OP needs more pulling volume?
I did get 330 x 5 on deadlift, but it was extremely difficult, the last rep was a huge grinder.
I have not tried that set up, part of me wants to keep Chin up volume high, as I really want to be able to develop my pull up strength. I guess the trade off is to give up that goal and focus on deadlift 2 days a week.
