I'm a little new, and I could use some advice on progression. If I was doing 5 reps of a workout and only was able to do 4 complete ones, would I still progress to a heavier weight, would I stay the same, or deload? Sorry for the dumb question. Also any tips on progression?

stay the same until you can do the 5, then overload again
you are a newbie, take advantage of it
also this questions ------------------> google
>>37396363
Thanks for the help. I would Google it, but I don't trust most of the fitness stuff on the Internet.

What are inaccurate things on this board?
>>37396515
> SS + GOMAD
>>37396566
Obviously GOMAD is bad, although I do drink a shit ton of whole milk. Mostly eat pretty healthy. My diet consists of a lot of peanut butter toast, eggs, oats, Greek yogurt, fruit, spinach and other vegetables, and occasionally like pasta and stuff.
What's wrong with starting strength? I was doing something kind of like it for a while with strong lifts, but I switched to my own type of PPL workout. Let me know what you think.
>Push
5x5 BP
5x5 OP
3x8 Incline Dumbell Press
3x8 Tricep Push down into lateral raises
3x8 tricep extension into lateral raises
>Pull
Deadlift 1x5+/5x5 Barbell Rows
Pulldowns 3x8
Cable Rows 3x8
Face Pulls 5x15
Hammer and Regular Dumbell Curls 3x8
>Legs
Squat 3x5
Romanian Deadlift 3x8
Leg Press 3x8
Leg Curls 3x8
Core Stuff
I usually workout anywhere from 5-7 days a week.
How does this look for me?
>>37396746
Why did you switch from strong lifts? Did you stop making gains? What are your numbers on bench ohp squat and dl? Asking because I'm currently doing SL 5x5
>>37396746
depends on your goal
you want strength+big legs and ass? do SS
you want aesthetics and overall symmetric body composition? do a split
>>37396807
Here's the thing, I honestly didn't know what tf I was doing and I was pretty new. I've worked out for a year now. I switched because I kinda looked like shit, that was because of my diet at the time though. I was tired of being a skeleton at 6'4 130, and I bulked 70 pounds to 180. Since then I've bulked back to about 185.
Shit lifts though
BP: 155
OP: 95
Squat: 202
Deadlift: 225
I kind of fucked up my first year, although I look a million times better and healthier. Now I kind of want to work towards aesthetics
>>37396824
Definitely working for aesthetics right now at the same time I also wanna get stronger.
