I have this constant feeling that i'm doing something wrong with my training,
I have been followed starting strength, and i have been increasing my weights with about 5 kg for each new set.
While i am doing allright with the deadlift/squat,
i have issues with the bench press and especially the press.
I can't get over 15kg( minus bell) with my press at the end of two weeks, and i can't help but feel that i haven't gotten stronger but merely reached a base plateu.
I eat my proteins and follow riptoes guide, but beyond protein supplement i haven't eaten more then i usually do, maybe that's why?

>increasing my weights with about 5 kg for each new set
What? Did you mean every workout?
This is all explained in the book and the sticky though.
Only go up 2.5 then

Maybe i missunderstood, but i believe it was about 10 pounds for each repetitive set,
day 1 press 5x3 with 25 kg
day 3 press 5x3 with 30 kg
etc
>>36633412
Are you heavier on the scale?

read the sticky
its 5 lbs.
probably even less because you'll progress slower with pressing than other lifts
usually people start with 10-15 lbs for squats, maybe 15-20 lbs for deads, and 5-10 lbs for bench and press
upper body lifts quickly drop down to 5 lbs (~2.5kg), but eventually you need to microload at 2.5 lbs and less for the press
