Probably not by most people's definition. I took a creatine/whey stack 7 times a week.

Congratz OP 4 real, been trying to hit 1plaet bench for 3 years already, just keep getting injured once i reach the 115lbs mark
>>37537907
>>37537780
is that good op? im wondering cause im at 35s and so close, and am at 4 months, feels like a plateau
I weigh 120lbs, I try so hard to reach 1plate but I always fail once i hit the 35's, why can't bench 1plate?
>>37537780
All these faggots taking such obvious bait.... Fuark
>>37538025
That's too bad Anon
>>37538039
Just keep putting on weight whenever you can fit it. I kept feeling like I was plateauing too but eventually I pushed through which gave me a lot of confidence that it was gonna work out for me. Eat, sleep well and make sure your form is good. You could probably do 1pl8 already as a 1rm

>900kg bench str8 out of womb
impressive m8
>>37537780

>keep trying to do 130
>keep having to rerack low or roll of shame
>OHP been stuck at 80x5 for a month
My incline bench is increasing though and my lower body progresses linearly. I don't fucking get it.
>>37538207
Fatty
>>37538227
I can't progress linearly with my lower body at all, but that might be because I'm trying to squat ATG
>>37538277
thats not why :(
consider cardio
>>37538277
Nah I go ATG and have little trouble.
Are you warming up properly? I do weightless squats before I even do empty bar usually.
Also adductor and abductor exercises helped me through a wall at one point.
>>37538227
bad form, not eating or sleeping enough.
that's it at ur strength levels.
>>37537787
7th grade for me, but only hit 1pl8 squat last summer and im 30. im fucking pathetic
>>37538303
I just realized I spent 6 months trying to go ATG with the bar in the wrong position. I was going as low as I could in low bar then wondering why I felt like tipping forward everytime. rofl
>>37538312
I'm on a cut but yeah I get shit sleep pretty often.
I squat 1.5pl8 and diddly 2 though, I don't get why the others are lagging so much, I do dips for 5 with 30 lbs added so it's not like I neglect upper.
Maybe I should video so /fit/ can make fun of me.
>>37538337
I go ATG with low bar squats, is there some reason I shouldn't?
I just lean forward more and keep my neck in line with spine.
>tfw just hit 80kg OHP
>Can't bench more than 110kg
>>37538352
You shouldn't feel like you're leaning forward in a proper ATG squat, that means your feet are probably not in the right position, and you aren't opening up at the hips enough as you go down.
>>37538371
I follow Rippetoe's video guides and it feels alright.
Feet shoulder width, 30 degree angle, flat at all times.
Had some trouble with my legs wobbling in for a while, but ab/adductor works cleared that up quick.
