What's up with your bench, compadre
It's because of the wide shouldered manlet genes
Jacob Wilson
bench isnt fun to train
Mason Martinez
Yeah that's true
Cooper Allen
7 weeks in. I'm expecting to hit blue obliques and forearms tomorrow, assuming I hit my target weights.
Hunter Davis

Can't squat for shit at home
>tfw you use 2 chairs as squat rack
Lucas Ramirez
Build a squat rack out of wood.

>It's because of the wide shouldered manlet genes
Is this a thing? 5'8 here and my OHP is 60kg while I weight 70kg and other lifts are lacking in comparison (bench 80kg, squat 100kg). Needless to say my shoulders are quite wide too.
James Richardson
most novices start with ohp being their best lift because its the lightest in terms of absolute weight and the difference between a good ohp and a shit ohp is only like 20-30kg. as you get stronger your other lifts will progress much faster and leave ohp in the dust

Nice lat genetics. As a latlet, I envy you.
Do front squats.
Pretty good lat genetics.
Tyler Thompson
Only a few months into training, started at Auschwitz mode
James Reyes
starting strength t rex checking in.... what is the best way to get huge arms and pecs while doing bench and ohp 3x5 ??? I feel like I could fit some other arm and chest exercises in there.
also what's a good bodybuilding program to do after i achieve full teal man?
Levi Ward
do SS until you stop progressing, but do curls superset with tricep extensions with an ez curl bar then do lateral raises superset with rear delt flys at the end of every session. should only take 10 mins
Dylan Bell
Benjamin Walker
Would be good if I was a few months in but I'm 5 years in so it's shit tier
Aiden Mitchell
there is no way you would be this weak after 5 years unless your programming was literally retarded. what would keep you going back if you never saw progress like this
Jeremiah Peterson
If I stop going back I would lose the progress I've made so far
Owen Thompson
dunno because no gym equipment
Colton Myers
Lol benis

Alexander Evans
Welcome to my hell.
6'2", 180 lbs, working out for ~11 months, mostly machines, doing powerlifting for about 2 months now. Started off as skinnyfat with ~23% BF and I'm now at ~16-18% depending on how I measure.
I'm not gonna make it, am I?
Gavin Rodriguez
fuck deadlift
Evan Price
That's nice for two months dude keep it up
Cooper Price
bros will i make it based on this time frame and the progress?
>95lb 4x5 back squat when I started in april
>135lb 4x5 back squat now
Jordan Ortiz
Sucks being a benchlet.
Dominic Myers
btw would it be that hard to ask some more lifts?
my traps are juicy because i do a shitload of shrugs. why does it even estimate biceps and doesnt ask curls? and form isnt factored in anyway. ass-to-the-grass squats are way harder.
why doesnt it ask lat strength? why even program this whole body if you only ask 4 things??
Luis Fisher
slowly making it, lower body lagging behind a bit but doing squats 3x a week now
Chase Wright
agreed
Bentley Adams
Well fuck me. I thought i was at least novice. Been training for 3 years

How fit were you before lifting?
Connor Thompson
150 lbs 5'9" /tealguy/ checking in after about 5 months of SS
Blake Johnson
2 and 1/2 of SL, i'm 205 lb at 6'
I was torn between trying to lose 20 pounds or trying to increase my lifts. I went with lifts because i still feel good chonked out as long as i'm eating clean
>i figured out how to eat clean a month ago.
Thomas Evans
>pullups
Rippetoe be mad
Jackson Hughes
oh yea, i add a bit for aesthetics, mostly high volume machine stuff after i do my big lifts.
I've been meeting the 5 pounds a session goal, I'm going to try getting 5x5 at 165 on my bench right now.
Brody Murphy
What's the best way to get my deadlift up, beyond "Just deadlift more?"
Also, does anyone else experience knee pain after deadlifting? It really exacerbates the arthritis in my right knee.
Noah Bell
About this level
Angel Young
>tfw nearly graduated past purpleman
WHY AM I A CHESTLET
Noah Watson
Seeing as how you're probably a beginner I would focus on more volume. Do your normal sets (whatever program you're on) then pick a lighter weight you can pump out another 5 sets of 5 reps or more. At the end of the day you really learn by doing the movement. Try to figure out what cues work best for you.
Luke Evans
if you're a young guy, chest strength comes with age. You'll get big gains without effort once you're 25+
Jackson Long
OHP is hard
Aaron Bell
>being a pushlet
should i train upper body more than lower if my upper body is behind? Currently doing U/L thinking of doing a PPL program with hypertrophy as focus over strenght
Ayden Hughes
I'm 24 and I've only been lifting for a few months.
I had a very sedentary lifestyle growing up that was full of playing video games, so I hope I haven't missed my chance.
John Cook
Haven't done legs in months
Noah Watson
I love how lanklets don't get discriminated on this site and the average for tall people is lower.
anyway. I'm all purple man for now except for my chest, been lifting for 4 weeks now. Would be probably more blue, but I need to buy more plates for my deadlifts, because as it stands I can't progress beyond 60KGs. I'm using dumbbell plates for my barbell, but there's no more space there.
Ryan Gutierrez
not bad I guess
