    My goal is a 400 lb deadlift. I've been chasing after it for almost 2 years, and I'm just stalled. :mad:

    I know you will get there!! You are a beast!

    My goal is to get better at squats. Was up to almost 1.5x my body weight when I realized I was not getting low enough. Back to lowering weights. Thoughts about bulking as I build back up? Or should I stick to maintence until I’m at least back at squatting bw (110)?

    I’ve hit plenty of goals that I haven’t maintained. At one time I could knock out 10+ pull-ups in a row, DL 2x BW, squat 1.75XBW, had my left splits. Broken bones and other personal issues have caused me to lose strength several times. Some goals I care about getting back, others not so much anymore as I’ve moved onto other goals. Most strength/skills goals are quickly lost if you aren’t vigilant about keeping them up. But also fairly quickly regained.

    My main goal that I haven't yet achieved but am slowly getting there is to do 10 perfect chin-ups. I can get to about 4 with strict form, and about 14 or 15 if I do not go all the way down. Getting there. I think this summer when I have my annual weight loss after the winter bulk might be the time,

    The goal was to get to the gym 3 times a week and I have gotten first a sore throat, then a UTI, then another sore throat. ARRRGGGHHHHH!

    New goal is to work on squat form. Just dropped 35 lbs of the bar to get low enough. It’s depressing
