Oh shit, I should probably test my actual 1RM. Feels good to get back into lifting after a 6 month pause to realize I not only haven't become weaker, I'm breaking my plateu.

Do I need to download the app or does it work on the web page? What a fucking mess of a site btw.

I don't want to install random shit from dodgy developers.

Once you gain enough basic knowledge it becomes more more like a chore to come on Jow Forums and browse the catalogue seeing the same beginner questions over and over again. It's handy when that's the info you're looking for but when you already know the answers it feels like work to reply to 90% of the threads.

So the vast majority of active posters are beginners and that's allright.

How long did that progress take

Lifting a bit over 3.5 years and my bench press is still pathetic..

You're nearly already benching more than my friend who's been training for a year, good progress.

Attached: 1535887744624.png (485x409, 56K)

Says 2 months but really about 10 weeks. I was eating like a pig for the first month, gained about 3lb, then started cutting back Cal and now I'm back to the same weight I started, just leaner. Progress has slowed but squat still going up. Adding rows, chins, curls, and some dumbbell chest/tricep work has helped with upper body and overall volume. I don't bench much so that 145 is just from the first 3-4 weeks. Dislocated my shoulder 3x so it's uncomfortable.

2 years, unfortunately a lot of that time fucking around and dieting

>cont
Last week i did 8x 75kg incline bench, while my flat bench was max at 65kg (slightly over own weight). Yesterday i tried flatbench 75kg for 1 rep which went really well, did it for 7 more reps and thought perhaps i can pull off 80kg because incline is supposed to be heavier i guess?. Which succeeded, did 6 reps on 80kg and the last 2 were like half reps with assistance from my fitbro.

Other than that, day 1 deadlift for me was 90k x 10, so doing 140kg for 5 reps after 4 months would be a logical development.

Squats...idk i think im failing a bit with that. Im trying to keep a good position but i keep struggling with 100kg squats. Havent really dared to up the weight to 110...

>cont2
I have a problem tho, maybe its just depression or something but lets say one day i can pull off a 1RM+increment, but few days later i cant even pull off 90% of my 1RM...its like im missing energy even tho my diet is not lacking. I have the feeling if my energylevels were consistent id be able to make faster gains

can you post the actual lifts in kg pls, just out of curiosity or tell me ur big 3

stfu and start going gym and stop seeing how good you can get in 4 months. Pro tip: you wont be as good as that

Inclinebench 75x8
Flatbench 80x8 (prolly 85x8 if i try before doing superset incline)
OHP 60x7 (gonna try 65kg tonight)
PR 60x8
>in burger
Squat 220x6
DL 286x8
Inclinebench 165x8
Flatbench 176x8
OHP 132x7

bodyweight? I'm guessing 75-80kg

>because hes small

Tfw when lifted way too rarily for 4 years and went from this:

>Grandfather was a literal old times strongman and firefighter
>Tried lifting 7 years ago for a few years but never came above novice or intermediate even with plenty protein right weight gain and lots of pre-workout shit and having no full time job

I guess I was never really motivated as I had no end goal. In the end didn't seem worth the effort. Now I just deadlift, squat relatively light weights and do calisthenics in my apartment enough to not have backpain or such from my desk job. I also felt like an addict taking so much shit that made me feel energized.

Thanks for the symmetry, starting strength.

Do you have a manual labour job or did any physical activity before going the gym?

Would you consider parttime shelving or parcel delivery next to full time study physical labour then yes

Been training for just about 6 months now. Stuck on these numbers for 2. I don't know wtf happened but progress just stopped 4 months in on everything except squats and deads.

I get good sleep, eat well and enough and go hard during workouts.
Tried changing rep schemes, going up and down in volume - everything.

Wtf do i do to unfuck my gains, brehs?

Progress stopped just as I started bulking on like 4500 kcals a day. Gained a shitload of weight, but no strength

Try adding variety and accessory lifts like chest flies/crossovers, incline bench, decline bench, dips, dumbbell presses?

You just started too, if you're that weak you almost certainly need to eat more.
