Cameron Wright
Based
Eli Watson
what weights are considered proficient/advanced/exceptional that you literally hit them in under two years? (and you claim two of them are shit tier)
Dominic Rodriguez
My lifts, user.
Jason Smith
I'm similar stats and I feel like bench plateaus much quicker than the other lifts. I remember for my first 3-4 months of lifting SS had my bench as +10-25% relative for a while, and now it's my weakest lift.
Eli Diaz
little over 2 months lifting from skinny fat. My bench fucking sucks
Connor White
how tf do people have such quick progression
Jose Cook
I can't seem to get past indigobro because I've been losing weight. Want to see some green very soon. 6' 185lbs, est. 1RMs are 260 squat, 290 dead, 180 bench, 125 ohp (dead and ohp I have actually performed those numbers for 1)
William Hall
I'm almost to all intermediate, just need 5 lb on my ohp and row, and 10lbs on my bench after 2 months progress. I think for most it's just muscle memory+noob gains+ prior physical activity experience. Personally, I quit lifting 2ish years ago and got back into it. You really hit the ground running if you have muscle memory.

Colton Torres
Which team has the strongest people?
Thomas Nguyen
Why your Ohp is so shitty user?
Jaxson Brooks
it doesn't progress at the same rate as my other lifts
Evan Martinez
Post a pic of your back, user senpai.
I want to see a 500lbs dl back.
Lucas Martinez
>145lb OHP
>500lb deadlift
And I thought my OHP was proportionally bad.
Nice work on chin-ups though.
Colton Evans
i ohp as much as you and can barely dl 3pl8 lmao
Matthew Lopez
It's gonna have a pretty solid v-taper, especially with chin-ups at 120lbs weight added.
One routine that helps me out when I start stalling on something.
If, after a deload week, I'm still hitting the same numbers, I'll do 3x10 (or as close as I can get to ten sets of three) with 90% 1RM, then next workout is 5x5 with 90%, and then next workout is 3x10 again, but with 30 second rest between sets.
For any workout that I fall short of the target (rarely happens, except for in the 30 sec rest workout), I'll incrementally drop 30-40lbs of the bar and do two sets of 10 at each increment, rest-pause included if need be. It's exceedingly difficult to pound these descending weight sets out.
Never fails to blow a max out of the water next time you attempt it.
