Reached my goals. What now?

[pavstar619]

Hi everyone. Last year when I started lifting I made it a priority to increase all my lifts as well as get my deadlift up to 140kg. Did just that yesterday.
Now what? My left knee's a bit sore, probably pulled something (the leg trembling on last rep was a giveaway). I'm never gonna compete so getting my deadlift up isn't that concerning anymore. Was thinking of prioritizing weighted chin ups since I suck at them. Maybe rows as assistance.

What were your original goals? A 140 kg deadlift is really short of your potential. You can start, if you haven’t already, training your chin twice a week. I’m assuming you’re still running the novice linear progression.

I will always strive to lift more. Satisfaction is The Death of Desire.

140 for a double? Body weight press?

Both women and men appreciate a well defined, chiseled jawline.

Original goals were to deadlift triple my bodyweight, but I gained 15kg more weight since LP. I can do sets of 12 on chins atm. Dont know how to program them weighted. I switched to Heavy Light split for a month. Going back to HLM since it feels better.

The desire never ends if you can never achieve it.

140 for a double? Body weight press?

I did 140kg for triples. I can do 61.5kg Press for triples at 65kg. Havent stalled yet.

Age/height/weight?

Age: 21
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 65kg

And shredded abs.

From what I've read, the best course of action is to get yourself to 3 sets of 15 unweighted first. Training chins twice a week seems to be optimal. You can do the classic 3 sets of AMRAP that Rip has suggested with the caveat always leaving 1-2 reps in the tank. Once you can do 3x15, you can start adding 1-2.5 lbs for 3x5 on day 2 of the week. You should give Niki Sim's article "Training the Chin, Part 2" a read. I also like this program to increase your chin-up reps (you can start somewhere in the middle of it rather than the beginning).

If you want to get shredded, you're going to have to bulk up a lot more than where you are now, and then cut down. Your current weight isn't bad necessarily for your height, but you need a lot more muscle and cut down to 10% or so bodyfat if you want to look like Mike Matthews.

Thanks. I'll try my best.

I was thinking more of a shredded hulk look. Maybe in my dreams.

why leave 1-2 reps in the tank?
