Ok, /fit/, bit of a newfag. Need some tips here.
About 6'0", 175 pounds. I've been regular at gym for about 12 months, 9 of those spent working on gains. Problem is, I'm pretty damn weak. Can only bench 90, squat 90, but my abs are pretty toned. Looking for ways to get stronger. Any tips?

Its time to do roidz brah
Eat more
>>35131941
>12 months
There's no way you were eating enough/sleeping enough/lifting enough. One of these factors was off.
Eat more roidz, muh bro.
>>35131941
>toned
What exactly do you mean "toned" ms. Blogilates?
>>35131941
What routine were you doing?
>>35132111
Probably sleep. College classes taking a toll on me. Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
>>35131941
Dont ever use the term toned you fucking retard, your abs showing doesnt mean anything else other than that you have a low fat %
>9 months
>Can only bench 90, squat 90
oh come on dude
are you going once every 2 weeks and increasing the weight once every month?
>>35132133

Sleep is important but people still make gains without good sleep, diet is much more important I would say, not that sleep isn't also very important.
>>35132121
Can't say I have a set routine, I just get in there when I can and do everything I can, I've spent as long as 4 hours straight just lifting. Maybe that's another part of the problem. I work in every important exercise, get 3 sets of 15 or 5 sets of 20 depending on the day.
> about 6'0
5'9

Not trolling dudes. Sorry I'm not up to your standards. Trying to get better. We all have to start somewhere, y'know?
>>35132132
Sorry. Again, relative newfag, don't know what terms are acceptable and which ones aren't.

>follow this routine: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ:The_Program
>make sure you eat and sleep enough
stop whatever you were doing before because it's clearly not working at all.

Mmkay. Thanks, man. I've been on the paleo diet for a couple years, is that a decent one?
>>35131941
>Can only bench 90, squat 90
are you talking pounds or kg?
>>35131941
I'm 6'0 180 and just started lifting 2 months ago and I've increased my bench from 75 to 125 already. You pry need to eat more protein or your routine just sucks ass or something. 9 months is too long to not see any progress.

Looks good! I'll give it a go tomorrow. Appreciate the help.
>>35132277
what your routine?
>>35132261
Pounds, unfortunately.
>>35132290
what did you start at?
>>35132206
the problem is that you did start
12 months ago
you're just fucking around man. go on a real routine and do real things instead of just wandering around in the gym doing every single exercise.

Stop worrying about keeping your abs and instead worry about getting big and strong
