Been following a solid workout routine for about a year now (stronglifts 5x5), but my results are now way near what you'd expect of a years work.
Do I have shit genes? I'm chubby so surely I'm eating enough? How badly does stress effect your gains?

Trap?
how much do you lift?
pic not related retard
>be consistent in training
>get 8 hours sleep
>don't eat like shit
What's your height/weight/lifts? You probably don't have shit genes. Stress probably can to an extent but don't use it as an excuse.
OHP - 57.5kg / 125 pounds
Bench - 90kg / 200
Squat - 135kg / 295
Deadlift - 155kg / 340
Single reps
1g/lb ? . Sleep ? . Training hard with progressive overload ? Depressed ?
i mean it's not terrible, are you still making consistent progress or are you stalled on some/most of them?
My diet is kinda shit. Surely protein is protein though? Or am I underestimating the power of fruit/veg and hydration
Depressed, have been for years
About a month ago, they all pretty much stalled
I started out similar when i started lifting
i'd not eat correctly, miss sessions, i was also dealing with a recurring shoulder injury
work/university stress would keep me up at night
just keep at it
switch up some different lifts
it's better than doing nothing
What weight are you? Those stats are decent you're almost at 1/2/3/4. Are you still progressing?
Depends on how shit your diet is desu. Try cutting out processed foods. Fruit/veg doesn't matter for strength really, more for overall health. Aim to drink 8 glasses of water a day.
We need more bro
Do u count cals ?
How much do u eat and how much protein do u get ?
Weight and height ?
Do u sleep at least 7h everyday ?
Eat, faggot
You're doing well user. That's almost 1/2/3/4 which is where you should be after a year. Try doing more leg work to get your DL up. Remember to eat and sleep.
Depression steals your hormones. Lost hormones = lost gains.
173 / 79 5"8
8 hrs a day. No calories. About 110g of protein a day
My progression was fast right up until it wasn't. I eventually kept going by doing 2 sets of 4 reps on my stalling lifts, 3 days a week. however
You're lifting bigger than 99% of men, you should give yourself more credit
Get on a new program
Fuck off with your “good enough” shit
What do you recommend I move on to, from SL 5x5?
I presumed as much, but it's not something I can help so I just deal with it and keep working out
PPL
Steal any PPL routine online, run it for a week. Then modify it to suit your goals.
I started with the one on Plebbit:
reddit.com
I do 3 sets of DLs instead of 1. I do 3x10 RDLs on pull day. I also do a lot of ab work on leg day. And I also include 3x10 dips on push day. And other things I can't be bothered to mention.
This or
I’ve been running a modded 531 where I do 3 top sets rather than 1 amrap, and 2 bench days a week while using OHP as an accessory. I’ve seen really good results with that, just hit 500 dl the other week
Stop doing 5x5 you dumb fag.
At least recommend a routine when you bitch, faggot
I've been lifting for 5 years and still didn't hit 1/2/3/4
I've accepted my shit genetics.
Wow you're way worse than me. You must be doing something wrong/off user, nobody is that badly inclined
See
You blind fuck
I'm the same. I think I probably have low T or something.
At least I'm otter mode and look better than the majority of other guys my age. Not everyone has to be built.
Started as overweight überlowtest.
Then years of maintaining weight while my lifts barely went up. Got injured a couple of times on different parts of my body so every once in a while a setback.
I don't even care about numbers anymore I just want to look good but I still look skinnyfat.
Try 3x5
hop on that there testosterone
OP I entered your stats (sans age) into symmetricstrength.com and you have a score of 64 (intermediate):
>The lifter has been consistently training, likely for at least a year. The majority of those who go to the gym regularly fall into this category. Strength score 60.
Age is a factor for this (albeit a small one) but in general you aren't too bad, I only started lifting seriously February of 2017, I have 60.3 with poor upper body strength.
I'm not OP.
My lifts are lower than his.
Program is good time at least 1/2/3/4
Calculator twee, eat 300cal surplus
Calculate tdee*
i hope im there after a year, it doesn't really seem like I will at this rate :/
i don't think you have anything to worry about user
