What I feared happened.
I've been going strong at the gym for 4 months. SS program to the letter, even doing powercleans.
My lifts are bitch-made. I'm a 120lbs nerd. And this shit didn't change during the 4 months. I just gained 5lbs, that's it.
Here are my stats:
>200lbs DL
>150lbs squat
>110lbs bench
>85lbs OHP
And I've stalled on every-fucking-thing. I'm 20, 5'11.

What were your starting stats? Providing pics could help tho, but have you been tracking your daily calories/protein?
CMON EAT BIG TO GET BIG.
>>34921159
I remember my max DL was 50kg, and my max bench was something like 20kg.

>Please tell me what to eat
More. You need to eat more.
Even if you started with an empty bar, your squats should be in the mid to high 200s (255-285). What the fuck did you do for four months?
Eat some fucking food, goddamn.

I think it's time for GOMAD
Seriously though, drink whole milk, unless you hate milk, it's the easiest way to get cals

At 5'11 120lbs this dude needs to put on weight in order to get out of holocaust mode and stalled lifts.

Well that's not a great progress in 4 months, but I've seen much worse in this board tho.
Maybe you're not eating all the protein you should, or not enough fats to provide you the right hormonal balance, or enough carbs to give you energy. See scoobys calorie calculator, track and design a diet with his bodybuilding nutrition made easy video, and use an app like MyFitnessPal to help you do so. Don't fall for the GOMAD meme.
Maybe you're not sleeping all you should, try to go to bed earliear and get better sleep. Also make sure to avoid stress.
But eat more, it's probably that.

Considering he's just 120 lbs, he can deadlift a very decent amount of weight. Maybe in a couple of months is deadlifting 2x his bodyweight.
EAT MORE, KID

At about the same level brah. Been on SS for 4 months as well. Accept I've been on a light cut.
>afraid of losing muscle
>afraid of getting fat
>yet want to get stronger
5'6 155lbs 19y/o
1x5 DL 95kg
3x5 Squat 102.5kg
3x5 Bench 55kg
5x3 Power Cleans 50kg
Gonna start a bulk soon tho. Gains are just too damn slow, and I'm really not sure if progressing as well as I could be. Like, should I just cut down to low bf or bulk for dem muscles and cut again?
Pic related is 3 months progress. Haven't taken a pic of 4th month yet, but still roughly the same with a little less fat. But no visible and yet.

Did your shoulders got that wide or is it just the pose?

>120lbs

Your stats are very low compared to that squat. Should be DL much more than squatting.
Buy some decent underwear please...
But good overall progress imo, looking better and getting stronger. Maybe add some cardio to increase fat loss?
>>34921361
Your gains are covered by a layer of fat m8. keep going.
>>34921361
You should not bulk, youre still quite fat. Cut down for 2 months or so, and then bulk

Both pics have the same pose really. I suspect the difference is in the muscles getting stronger/tighter thus improving my overall posture. And also my bf% has decreased and it shows around my waist I suppose. Thus making shoulders look wider.

Yea I know what you're saying. Spinal erectors are just real weak according to symmetric strength. Also I deloaded at one point because I realised I was DLing with rounded back snap posture, so that I could focus on form and hopefully make safe gains from there. I will say I'm also the living breathing embodiment of T-Rex mode. My upper body strength is just so shit. Though I do understand that there's a certain ratio to be expected with the lifts. Thanks bro, I've recently added some light HIIT to my workouts.

Eat. I weighed 117lb in august. I eat till I puke and I weigh 147lb now. Eat eat eat.

Thanks m80s
>>34921613
Maybe stop squattin every day. SS is good, but different bodies need different workouts.
Do you Pull Up, or Row? 5x5 Barbell Rows and assisted pull ups if you can't do one will give you even better posture. Got nice potential m8

Calculate calories, take Creatine+Whey protein after every gym sesh
>>34921681
I've actually been considering it. But as opposed to stopping squats entirely I'm thinking of switching to high bar or front squats, which will probably force me to lower the weights since I don't train with them.
I do the chin ups instead of pull ups. Don't row tho. I've been having a hard time doing chin ups with the assist machine. Felt like I wasn't making progress so I've started doing negatives instead. Thanks senpai

Wtf is up with the senpai correction??
