Goal setting ideas

[Nateismine]

Hi
I'm 51 and have been lifting for 2 years (so wish I'd discovered it earlier). I like having targets and so far have achieved my 60kg squats, 40kg bench and 100kg DL. I'm not that excited by lifting heavier than this so am looking for target ideas. So far I have - 5 good form pull ups, a pistol squat and a handstand- looking for other suggestions?

Climb a rope! (I love that I learnt to do that at the grand old age of 65)

Full push up

Targets on your accessories? eg lat pull down

Develop grip strength (mine fails at more than 40 seconds walking with 2 x 32 k kettlebells)

Be able to carry your own weight in kettle bells or dumbbells.

Push/pull a heavy sled

I sympathise with wishing you'd started earlier. I started lifting heavy at age 58. My PBs are almost the same as yours - a bit higher because I keep pushing. But if I'd started in my 40s, I reckon I'd be at a 120 or upwards dead, and heading for a 100 k squat.

I've nailed push ups, but I love all your other suggestions- especially climbing a rope! Thanks for the ideas.

Depending if any classes or coaches near you - try calisthenics?

You are on the road with pull ups and pistols anyway but training levers, planche, pike push ups, flags etc is a good way to use and increase the strength you have built without a complete focus on adding weight to the bar.
