Who here <1 year lifting?
8 months here, gains haven't slowed down. Endurance is much higher than it was when I began. Should be starting to get where I want to be in another 1 year and 3 months.
Post stories/progress ITT
same-ish here. in the beggining i didn't know what to do, and i didn't have a routine. only later along the way did i learn what to do. even then i've neglected my training and my diet, so i've made few gains in strenght and less so in size because i'm pretty sure i'm on average eating below maintenance all year round with episodes of weeks at most when i'm eating at maintenance or higher

it will be 1 year in a few weeks.

Well Ive been lifting for almost 2 but I had leg surgery and then an injury set me back so im just getting back to my old strength and its practically like starting over again.

BW: 150lbs
Height: 5'11"
Squat:315
Bench:205
Deadlift:350
That was in December before I got injured. Am I making it? What are your guys stats?
will be lifting for about one year overall in August, hit 415 for 8 reps today for squatz, bench gains aren't too great
>>37489827
>1 year lifting
>415 for 8
why do people lie on the internet?
>>37489952
well if it helps I'm 300lbs pretty fat like 27% b.f. give or take and I am 6'5", I played hockey most my life, built big legs, bench sucks, DL is okay
>>37489991
That would mean you have a lean mass of 219 pounds at 0% bodyfat.
You're not very good at estimating your own bodyfat it seems.
>>37490007
Yeah i really have no idea what my body fat is, i have a shitty electronic scale and it says 25%

Don't really know if this is good or not but I just repped the 70 lb dumbbells x 5 for seated shoulder press today. Feels good cause its been my biggest goal for a few weeks now.
3 months
0.5/1/2/2
creeping up on a year now. still 230 but a lot more defined and bigger. hurt myself a couple times so over a year the total time lifting is probably closer to 8-9 months.
lifting since August last year. Was a skeleton, but gained 10 kgs since then. Feel fat as fuck tho.
Gonna start cutting next month I think
Lifting since March...still fat but getting there
100kg
6'3"
Bench: 90x5
OHP: 50x5
Dead: 140x5
Squat: 80x5 (just deloaded for form)
Start my first cut soon.
>>37490318
Something tells me you don't squat deep enough
>>37490457
Dont cut yet anon, you will just look like you did when you first started lifting. This is a pretty common mistake beginners make. Do a VERY slow cut if your desire is to have a lower BF. Maybe eat like 200 cals under your daily intake and you will gradually get leaner without losing anything muscle.
If you go for a standard cut right now you will look even more like a dyel
Been lifting for about 1.5 months.
Was fairly active prior to then. Did pullups/chinups/bodyweight for a while plus cardio. New to weights.
Currently 165 lbs, 5'10", just turned 22.

145 lbs
been doing sl5x5 since october (~8 months) and my current working sets are:
squat 150
diddly 205
bench 120
ohp 75
row 125
fucking been plateaued forever and my stats suck for how long i've been lifting. i need to eat more but i am on adderall all day :(
only thing that keeps me going is that when I started I could barely move the bar in a straight line and I've come a long way.. I just feel like I have hit a wall with all the lifts and can't get past it. I started adding chinups, dips, planks, and leg raises to assist a couple months ago and it has helped but my weight is still 145.
brb going to pound peanut butter up my ass

I'm on Focalin anon. It definitely fucks your appetite but I definitely feel like I have a bigger drive in the gym while I'm on it.
I eat a giant breakfast before I take it, idk how helpful that will be for you though
