For the last 5 years ive been crushing it at the gym. I've completely transformed from gangly desk nerd to... Not small.

Very happy with my numbers from strength training, and I continue to do heavy set deads, squats, bench, and OHP 1-2 times a week.

My last 2 years of lifting was minimal gains, only 5-15lbs moving up on my PRs.

I'm basically trying to maintain my lifts. I don't think I need or want to lift more than a 3 plate squat.

Whats next for me? Do I even have goals?

    (sorry I'm new, not sure if I can edit a post)

    but if anyone wants to cheer each other on, I'd add you as well. I am a big fan of motivation

    How about aiming for a powerlifting meet? You would have something to aim for.

    Also you don't mention anything about cardio. How about take up running while maintaining your lifting and aim for a 10k race or half marathon? Just a thought.

    Train for a marathon or a triathlon. You are obviously disciplined and achieve your goals. Set a wildly different one!
