Tfw stuck at 0.5/0.75/1.5/1.5

Ok, then just keep going, everyone has to start somewhere

Do yoga or more stretches at the end of workouts. Helps with DOMS too

Shouldn't be lifting over 30 gramps.

Im at .4/1/1.5/2 but im a fat fuck who played football. 2 months

Dipshit if you are cutting why are you complaining about strength gains slowing down.

Also
>175
>cutting

fucking lol

If you've been stuck there for a while I'd say your form is probably to blame. Lot of people can rep out sets with poor form but they'll never improve as a result of it.

And before you say your form is good, it probably isn't. But that doesn't mean you won't think it is. I'd recommend recording yourself.

I'm at 0/1/2/3

I stalled hard at 1/1.25/2.5/-
So I ate like a mother and did drop sets every single workout

I'm with you OP, same exact lifts, 5'9 and 165. No real improvements for a while, decided to cut for the summer look and start growing again in the fall.

I'm 175 but at 20% bf. Im not falling for the "gaining muscle and losing weight at the same time for newbz" meme. I started 4 weeks ago and yeah i might gain muscle and lose weight at the same time at maintenance but it would be alot faster to just get rid of my fat first.

How do you do the math on this? Lmao1plate is 60kg, is 0.5plate 30kg then? Or does it mean 0.5 plate per side, i.e 40kg?
I'm totally not autistic btw, just wanna know how people think

>skinnyfat so don't know whether to cut or bulk
bulk. You definitely don't have enough muscle mass to warrant a cut you spooky skele

0.5/1.25/1.5/2 here, went from 245 to 225 in half a year, how do I cope with not getting much stronger soon because I'm planning to go under 200?

do it like this
if it's under a plate it's not worth calculating

If so 90% of Jow Forums never does OHP

Zero plates would be just the bar. So 0.5 is 40kg

Pl8 to KG = (X*20)*2+20 where X is the number of plates on one side. Thus:

0.5pl8 = (0.5*20)*2+20
= 10*2+20
= 40 kg

1pl8 = (1*20)*2+20
= 40+20
= 60 kg

4.5pl8 = (4.5*20)*2+20
= 180+20
= 200 kg

For imperial just swap the 20s for 45.

bulk

bulk you fucking moron

motherfuckers in the other thread told me to cut. (5'10, 77kg, bf=16-17%)

>it was plates
>I thought it was body weight times
>I sincerely thought I needed to reach a 200 lb OHP, 400 lb bench, 600 lb squat and 800 lb deadlift
How am I so stupid?

That's a nice goal tho

5'8 here dont cut that low 165-70 is plenty

>tfw 0/.5/1/1 when I started 2 years ago
>tfw .5/1.33/3/3 now
T-rex mode, here I come

You can cut first, but you won't make any gains during the cut

Bulk it evens out

cut

It’s a nearly impossible one too.

>.5
How do you only press 67 pounds.

.5 pl8 plus the bar
1pl8=135lbs
.5pl8= ~95lbs, at least that's how I interpret it

>counting the bar when measuring by pl8
You only count the bar when you measure by pounds or kilograms. Pl8 units don't count bars. 0.5pl8 is roughly 40 kg, or 88-ish lbs.

seriously OHP is a nightmare, everytime I hit a new goal it's like "ok I guess I'll be stuck here for 2 months"
how can 2.5kg be so much??

Let's make it simple
CUT to achieve low body fat and expose your muscles, no gains/regress/little progress depending on diet and amount of calories you go down on
BULK to get muscle, overall you will most likely get some fat as well so it's bad if you care about your looks.

All roads lead to Rome

What about roads coming out of Rome

Some roads lead to stretch marks though

>stuck
>improving by like 5 lbs a week

which is it you fucking nigger?

I'm gonna bulk because I don't think I have the muscles to warrant a cut. Only thing that was making me question that choice was that user told me if you cut to a lower bf% (say 10%), you effectively get better gains on your subsequent bulk. Is this just bro science?

that much improvement feels like im stuck though.

KKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK

Get on a better routine
If you've been doing a shit homemade routine, stop it and if you still think you have some noob gains do GSLP
If not, just do 531 BBB, it's stupidly simple.
I spent months and months being bogged down in stalls, with my shitty fullbody routine
The added volume has been a complete gamechanger: my deadlift (which incidentally was the lift I did the least volume of) has exploded, and my other lifts are finally growing as well

19th February- 6th April
OHP: 50kg x5 ---> 60kg x2 (+6kg 1RM)
Bench: 80kg x5 ---> 92.5kg x3 or 77.5 x8 (+6kg 1RM)
Squat: 125 x3 ---> 140 x1 or 105 x11 (+8kg 1RM)
Deadlift: 140 x3 ---> 155 x1 or 130 x9 (+19kg 1RM)

The BBB sets, paired with the rep PR's are the key here.
Compared to before, when I failed and failed the same weights every time, deloaded and failed again, now I eevrytime I step into the gym I either get a new weight PR or a rep PR or both most of the time

I've been down that road, listen here
You're weak and skinnyfat.
you dont have to bulk or cut, you're a novice, which means you can make gains regardless.
so if you dont like having belly fat, cut, not too dramatically though
if not, then just eat enough food and 1.5-2g per kg of proteins, and take creatine.
or slightly bulk if you want to put some more weight on
just eating enough quality food, doing a decent routine and doing some cardio should recomp you
for further questions, let's not bump shit threads more than we can

I can almost OHP 1pl8 but stuck at 2.5pl8 DL. Is 1/2/3/4 a meme?

Check deadlift form I guess

>mfw 1/2.5/1.5/2.5 and not even trying to improve

Bodytype is a thing, too. Some people have difficulty with different lifts. I have a weak chest, so my bench is pretty garbage compared to my other lifts, but based manlet legs make squats a bit easier.

Come on, you can squat 2pl8 at least. I've seen females at my gym do that.

I'm sure I can, just don't need to. I've been doing 5/3/1 for some time and liked the time efficiency as well as progress, but coming to the gym and doing what you want actually makes me feel much better than following the program. I know it retarded, but lifting is not a very important part of my life.

I'm at 0.5/0.45/1/1.4
