Why am I no longer progressing?

not eating before lifting is a huge problem, you're not doing yoga with soccer moms you are lifting weights

eat something with carbs before you lift

also SS is a little low volume but almost everyone gets further with it than your lifts are right now so that's probably not the issue

You're not doing SS if you're going for sets of 7.

You should be doing 3 sets of 5,with enough weight that the 5th rep is a fuckin banger.

When I couldn't make 5 reps, I would try to keep that weight on the bar and do doubles of triples until I got 15 total reps. Next time, I would try to increase at least the first set to a set of 4, then more sets of 4, etc. Abbreviated, heavy sets like this are a great tool for getting through stalls. I prefer it to a de-load.

You can also try some assistance exercises after the compound you're struggling with. Lateral raises for OHP, weighted dips for bench, front squats/barbell lunge/split squat/GHR for squat, etc.

Can also try drop sets, where after completing what you can with the heavy compounds, take some weight off the bar and do a couple sets to *almost* failure (stop when your form starts to suffer). These should be sets of 10+ reps.

If that all fails, eat more. Also consider eating at least something before lifting; a fast energy source like a couple pieces of toast with butter & jelly can actually have a noticeable effect.

tbf lad you're not doing SS if you keep the weight on the bar and do doubles and triples until you get 15 reps total, either

SS is such a short term program anyway if it's done properly by the book that you really shouldn't modify it at all

No

Switch to GSLP and follow the progression. That means deload you cunt

Stop failing at doing a dumbshit modified ss and switch to another dumbshit modified ss which you’ll also inevitably modify yourself

try lifting for longer than a month

Eat more. You might think you're eating enough but you're not. Have an extra meal every day for a week or so and see if that helps. I was stalling for months and couldn't figure out what it was until I just decided to fuck it and eat a lot more and my lifts are going up again every week.

>2 plate deadlift
>1.5 plate squat
>1 plate bench press
>0.5 plate OHP

How many times do you do these exercises per week? And am I wrong to assume that you do 3 sets of 7 reps with the same weight for these exercises per session?

What if you need to eat all this food but you can't do it at work?

Eat more at the meals you do have time for.

>I do 3x7 for all of them

sounds like you are not following a proven program. Do that.

morons like you piss me off,,,

why dont u understand progression?

If you can do 135lbs for 3x7 bench,
thats 21 reps,
why not try 4x7? thus making 28 reps?
what about 3x8? 24 reps?
why not 4x6 even? then 5x6? then 6x6?

nigger, you could work your way up to being able to do 10 sets of fucking 10 with 135lbs if you really wanted too... and THEN, Add that motherfucking 2.5lbs to the lift and tell me that you cant get 3x7 with it....??? /

You don't just need to add weight, you need to fuck with the volume.

why even expect to do 3x7 with the new weight? (+2.5lbs)

Why not settle for 3x3? then next time, try 5x3? then 5x4? then 5x5? then 3x6? then 3x7? YOU COMPLETE THE WEIGHT PROGRESSION IN MULTIPLE STEPS USING VOLUME PROGRESSION. NOW FUCK OFF

I am running SS too, op. My squat is the same but everything is lower. How long have you been doing it? just curious.

Eat moar /thread

based

>Going from 3x5 to 4x4
>Increasing the amount of resting time with only +1 rep

Retard

Kys OP you say you're doing SS but of course you modified it to make it shittier than ever, probably don't eat, certainly didn't read one page of the book, and then you come here to complain that your routine doesn't work.
FUCK OFF
DO THE FUCKING PROGRAM
