If I add any little more weight I just can't get 5. What the fuck is my problem?

My BMI is 27, I'm truly far from skinny.

Work on your cardio a little.
Don't have to run a marathon or anything but end every workout with 15 minutes of +165 BPM cardio.
I'm confused. A typical man starts at 225lb dl. How are you maxing below that?
Terrible advice. Cardio kills gains.
NEVER DO CARDIO, OP
he probably can 225lb 1 rep, but not 5x5, hes literally me
Cardio only kills gains if you do it BEFORE weight lifting. Cardio AFTER lifting is beneficial.
Post body/lifts
DL works every muscle in your body and therefor requires strength from every muscle in your body. Work the other muscles to get better at dl.
>187 pounds
I thought you had to be 18 to post on this board?
Dumbest fucking meme ever. It’s 90% quads and glutes. If DL is a full body exercise, then so is every single one of the big four compounds.
OHP 125
ROW 185
BENCH 225
SQUAT 245
DEADLIFT 315
all of those are for 5
The FUCK has cardio got to do with DL?
Stupid dyel faggot.
I'm 24 man, that's why I'm asking for advice.
bro.... What do you think compounds are
>my bench is lacking
>gotta train legs to fix it
Lmao bench isn't compound. Squat and deadlift are compound. And yes, working your legs will increase your squat and dl. Bench will also increase your squat and dl. Working accessories will increase your compounds, and compounds will increase your overall size.
>bench isn't compound.
Ur skinny
SS+GOMAD
Flat bench barely even works back. Incline works chest and back. Bench is not a compound lift just because it barely works 2 muscle groups. Barbell press is a much better 'compound' lift but you faghits are always chasing weight over aethestics.
My original point was that working accessories to a compound lift like the deadlift, which is a REAL compound lift, will increase your deadlift. Calv raises, leg press, pull ups, rows, Flys, even side raises will increase deadlift. The deadlift is the gold standard for true strength. The only thing that matches it are cleans and clean and jerks. The clean and jerk is the advanced masterclass of the deadlift that takes a ton of practice to do correctly and is the highest measurement of true strength. Deadlifts are gold, c&j is diamond.
>Incline works chest and back
>Incline works back
U r dum
Don't you get an elevated heart rate after a set of DL/squats? For 1 rep it won't mean shit, for 3+ you need endurance too.
Fuck off or post body
are you physically retarded?
I bet you've never done cardio have you basedboi
skip leg day again?
Sounds like OP is gassing out after 3-4 reps. Better cardio would help him maintain a more steady heart rate and breathing.
Try these:
>Do romanian DLs in addition to normal DLs.
>Work on grip strength.
>Eat more.
>Deload week then back to normal.
Looks like you’re the one who doesn’t know what “compound” means
What cardio routine would you recommend? I just checked my resting heart rate and it is at 75 so you may be onto something.
I'm no cardio expert, but improving cardiovascular performance is basically about getting to 60-85% of your max heart rate (usually around 180-190 or so, there are formulas out there) and keeping that heart rate for a bit.
I presume that the more high intensity (higher max heart rate) cardio you do (sprints and such), the better the carry-over is to lifting.
5 minute "sprints" (doesn't have to be sprints, as long as you get your BPM to +85% max BPM, you should be fine) then cool off for a bit, then sprint again.
Most treadmills can measure your BPM, using handles or some shit. Either that or get a BPM gadget you can strap around your wrist or whatever.
>max heart rate
220 - age
he's right though 2 plate is fucking easy on a dealift, I was at 3.5 before i found out I shouldn't do them anymore even though I was struggling and that was just a little under a year of training. I started able to do 1.5 then 2 after my nervous system caught up.
Holy shit, Indidnt think things on the Chan could still shock me, this is my new favorite board!
I could lift 165lbs when I started, but I couldn’t do it with good form. I think deadlift is the most dependent on external factors to determine how much you can lift; what kind of work you do, how tall you are, how long your arms and legs are, how flexible you are, etc.
It’s definitely my proportionally weakest lift.
>Got form checked and it's fine
People don't know shit about form.
Are you doing 1x5 and getting stuck?
What do your warmups look like?
Are you squeezing your lats as tight as possible and dragging the bar against your body? Like your're trying to pass the bar through your shins.
Are you pressing your feet into the floor like it's a leg press?
fpbp
OP you need some SUCK and some FUCK at CHUCK'S
