Lol, seriously, what's with all these DYELs and their shitty bench?
80kg @ 3 weeks?
90kg @ 19 fucking months?
Time to kill self, you're never gonna make it.
I litterally did 2pl8 bench within the first month of traning, ez af.

Squat: 105kg
Deadlift: 110kg :(
Bench: 72.5kg
Press: 50kg

>>36668671
80 kg at 3 weeks is pretty good. OP is on a normal path to success. >>36668634 surely is a joke however.
>>36668712
>lifting 3 weeks
>thinking progress is bad
>>36668687
how long did it take to reach that level?
>>36668731
18-20 months.
who /balanced/ here?
On the higher side of the intermediate spectrum, going to be focusing on strength during my rugby season
>>36668685
mm i wanna be making progress like that, have you tried going higher on diddly or just sticking to a adding weight every session dealio?
>>36668748
I try to add 2.5kg each session, but it took me a while to get the form right, and I had some fatigue a few weeks back, hence why the deadlift is so close to the Squat.
BTW I'm only just in "intermediate", and the reason I've progressed fairly decently is due to doing various programs through my younger teens (only like shitty BroSplits tho, and I'd only do em 4 weeks at a time before falling off routine).

can you recomend any suppliments for bulking?
im drinking 2.27ltrs of milk everyday at the moment and i was also thinking in the next 2-3 months switching to a p/p/l/p/p/l/x routine instead
5 years, still do tons of cardio
Year 1: Just be in the gym
Year 2: Actually tracking stats
Year 3: Switched from stupid bro-shit to powerlifting
Year 4: Actually tracking nutritional macros
>>36668830
All ive been doing is eat and take creatine, do smolov for squats and smolov jr for bench 2-4 times (the base cycle), do a single set of deads once a week (if you feel like you can while on smolov, if not do it when you're not doing smolov) and do a back off set with slightly lower weights, and add some high rep barbell rows and seated rows after.
Weighted hypers are also great, 1-3 sets 6-8 reps, holding your self at the top of each rep for 1-3 seconds.
There is no secret to any of this, eat, lift and sleep.
As for diet, i would usually drink 2-4 liters of whole milk a day and just get the rest of my protein in whatever meat i feel like eating.
Slowly leaving the blue man group and becoming turquoise
>>36668822
yeah i worry about my form with squat, but when i started (and im using the 5x5 stronglifts app) a lot of the weights were too light especially the deadlift and bench so i ended up just jumping them up 5kg till it was actually somewhat more challenging
>>36668887
Yeah that's what you do in SS for Squat and DL. Rip. Recommends going up about 10kg for deadlift at first.
Really just go up with what you're comfortable with. I was going up 5kg a session with bench for a bit, but now I'm nearing my bodyweight it's slowed to 2.5kg a session.

>strong at fundamental lifts
>must've fell for the SS meme
Just about to bust outta the intermediate category, feels good brahs.
Lifting since November
>>36668924
I blame it more on a lifetime of soccer playing. Entire practices devoted to just stadium sprints or just roman chairs.
And also, suck it, hater.
>>36668941
Stats?
>>36668945
What? Why hater? I just said meme shit, hoping it will generate replies like >>36668929
Also where are you from? Did you play in a serious team?
>>36668952
180kgx2 deadlift
135kgx5 squat
90kgx3 bench
57.5kgx4 overhead
12.5kgx4 weighted chins
>>36668993
170kgsx2 on the deadlift. On my phone and I have fat thumbs.
90kg bw
>>36668971
Uhhh, did I just witness a troll apologize?
Whatever, American, played through high school (lol, redneck school with no competition) and college (lol, D2 southern school that imported a bunch of South Americans so I spent more time riding bench or playing intramural). Joined the military, played for local teams where I was stationed. So short answer is no serious teams.

Coming up on 18 months soon.
Gonna do new five rep maxes on friday. Hopefully I'll get a little better. Haven't done any max lifts in almost a month.
>>36669414
You been wasting a lot of time.

Yes I know. I don't know which program to use honestly. I want to do Texas Method, but I also want to try Canditos six week program. I don't get a lot of sleep either and I don't eat enough, so naturally I have stalled. This have changed the past two weeks but that's because I'm no longer doing hospital rotations. I'm a nursing student and work a lot of shifts. I've been stuck on 1rm 2pl8 high bar squat since february. I achieved 2pl8 1RM on low bar back in november but I haven't trained low bar since I got my oly shoes.
>>36668748
Gotcha m80 though you probably are a bigger guy
180 cm 70 kg
>>36669462
try 5/3/1
I thoroughly recommend it as a program, it's been really effective for me as a novice and my gymbro who has competed in PL comps.
The progression is slow and steady but really good

Failed my 2.5kg bench PR last week, it's so far behind, going up by 1.5kg on friday i hope
158 lbs.
190 bench, 140 ohp, 300 squat and 355 dl (narrow sumo stance)
i only started benching 2 months ago, being a former oly lifter i focused on overhead press as my main pressing movement for a while
>>36669658
>110kg ohp
How do you train your shoulders? I'm stalling at about 90kg (200lbs) atm, not sure whether to change progression or to increase volume or what
>>36669682
>sumo
kek
>>36669694
do push pressing for doubles incline benching for sets of 5 once a week, then a press of your choice for higher reps once a week

a-at least my row is decent
>>36669708
>still pulling conventional
it's 2016 i mean come on!
>>36669844
atleast its pulling, and not extending knees
>>36669868
sumo vs conventional is down to bone structure, nothing more.
>slowly becoming a saiyan
>>36669694
>>36669749
My exercises of choice
4x12 smith ohp super set w, your choice of delt lift
8x (16,14,12,10,8) increasing in weight shrugs
Heavy incline bumbell press for anterior delts
Lateral dumbbell raises 4x15 ( I think volume helps here)
Face pulls are also good. Consistent activation across days is good, meaning split these lifts up between your larger muscle groups (do some with chest and some with back) and try to increase weight in increments of 5 biweekly. Enjoy your gainz. Test progress with standard military dumbell ohp.
