Post your stats! :)
>>37738961
Muh push press sucks balls
>>37739195
you are strong! How long you going to the gym?
>>37739156
Won't load on my phone but I'm apparently untrained for all my lifts...I've been lifting for a year...
>i am disappoint
>>37739229
i lifting for a year too. but only last month I'm having a lot of progress
>>37739229
are you sure you're using the right unit of measurement
>>37739597
Yea, the imperial pounds all the way bruh, still a dyel
>>37739195
Pics or it didn't happen
>>37739195
>Doing push press at all
For what purpose?
Squat 300lbs
Bench 185
DL 335
Chin up 80lbs
Been lifting since September with a two month injury deload
>>37740087
Forgot ohp at 140
>>37739229
Maybe you're severly overweight. That tends to skew the results pretty badly, especially on pulls, dips and chins.
>reach blue in every body part

>PT pulls me aside
>"Your form is a mess on every exercise. You're just going to snap your spine like that. Drop all the weight and start from scratch"
>Demoted to empty bar on every lift
>Completely lost motivation
I feel like I've been cheated out of three months.
I was on board with him, it's only right that I should go down with weights a bit if I have to fix my form
But making me go from 70kg squat to 20kg is too cruel
>>37740068
Push press is a better exercise than strict press desu
>>37740237
What, because it allows you to move more weight?
Half squats are a better exersise than full squats then because you can move more weight.
>>37740139
I'm that as well, thanks for making me feel even worse
>>37740250
Half squats don't touch on half the muscle a full squat does though
Even if you half-squat 4pl8 your abductors will still have the same lifting strength as when you started lifting, for example
>>37740271
Your fault for being a piece of shit that has made terrible decisions throughout your life. Don't blame him for "making you feel worse" when it's your fault alone. You let it get to this point you fat fuck.
:(((((((
>>37740225
You wouldn't have made it anyways, my weeaboo friendo.
>>37740087
looking good. Hope I look like this in a few months
>>37738961
I put in 1/2/3/4pl8 x 5 for me and it said it was super uneven.
2 months in. How long til I reach turquoise man?
I'm thinking another month or 2 - is that realistic?
>>37740362
well 1/2/3/4 is super uneven
1 om ohp is way too low and squat and dl is too high
>>37740271
Just pointing out that symmetric strength gives skewed numbers if you're above 15%bf, especially on the body-weight based exercises.
Stop obsessing over the pretty colours and get ready for that long hard cut, no winter bulk for you.
>>37740427
Is 1/2/3/4 in plates or in lbs?
>>37740288
On it brah, trust. This isn't the first time i am realizing I'm fat bruh. Imma make it, you gonna make it, we all gonna make it
Well..?
>These are the people telling me my routine is shit on /fit/ and to start SL
wew lad
I think this site is way too generous desu. I'm DYEL and it puts me at "Intermediate". Even at this level on symmetric strength my lifts are far, far from impressive.
1 year lifting yeah i didnt train leg much
>>37740689
W-what did you put down for your weight anon?
>>37740698
How long lifting? Post routine please
tfw weak (kneeinjury, have to progress really slow on my squats)
>>37740766
Looking decent.
I'm
>>37740379
How long did it take to get your lifts from novice to intermediate?
>>37740831
>1 year
What have you been doing all year? Curls?
>>37740482
:^)
My quads are fucking lazy as shit. Going to slam them hard after I move from maintenance to bulk in August.
>>37741064
THIS IS NOT YOU!
>>37741064
Stats and lifts? mirin
>>37741170
It is, though. What's your deal?
>>37741189
PROVE IT!
OR I CALL THE POLICE!
Why is everything but my bench so poverty
>>37741064
Height/weight/ponor longth?
>>37738961
Yo guys, symmetrical strength makes me feel like shit because it says I'm a novice or untrained. When I started though, I was 6'0" and 123 lbs. I could touch my thumb with my pointer finger around my bicep, that's how small I used to be. I wasn't able to bench the bar when I started.
Now, I weigh 180 lbs and I can bench 1.5 plates but I just look average. Should I feel bad still? How can I keep up my gains because I'm stalling out right now.
>>37740225
> 3 months
> 90 kg dl
ask me how I know your form is awful
>>37741259
if you need to ask weaboos on the internet to tell you that you are doing good to make yourself feel motivated you will never make it, sorry.
>>37741189
YOU CAN'T PROVE IT HAHAHA NOW I CALL THE POLICE!
>>37738961
do you include the weight of the bar in this program? how much does a typical bar weigh that you use to squat?
>>37741220
please don't call the police. they will shoot your friend there on site for being melanin enriched
>>37741259
You're doing good.
Keep going and you'll do better.
>>37741303
No i don't include the weight of the bar. It weighs around 10 kg or so, unfortunately my gym sucks.
>>37741303
Do you typically lift the bar yourself when you squat, or do you have someone else lift if for you whilst you life just the plates?
Weight depends on the weight of the bar you use. If you use a broomstick that would be a couple of pounds, if you use a 20kg olympic men's barbell that's usually more or less the weight of a 20kg olympic men's barbell.
Any more dumb questions?
>>37738961
What can I do when I figure out one of my specific lifts is weak? I have a major bench press problem and I've been stuck on the same weight for a long time. Do I just train on bench 3+ days per week, or would that be overtraining?
>>37741372
>Do you typically lift the bar yourself when you squat, or do you have someone else lift if for you whilst you life just the plates?
the 2nd one
>>37741372
Does your family know that you write posts with a condescending, dismissive attitude here? What would they think about you if they could read your rude words.
>>37741372
Wow there little buddy, watch out with that there edge, you might cut somebody!
>>37740927
not too long. It entirely depends on your nutrition, sleep ect. I'd say around 2-3 months if you're diligent. While goals that far ahead of time are useful I would rely on even shorter term goals. They tend to make you try harder to reach them when the consequences of your poor decisions are more apparent (eg you stall on a weight because your sleep was shit recently).
2 months if you're committed, much longer if you're not.
>>37741372
I lift the bar by myself.
If you do not want to believe me think what you want
>>37741372
Thats pretty fucking rude, faggot
>>37741412
They're used to it by now fammalammadiño.

5'10, 172 lbs.
245x8 Bench
325x5 Squat
435x5 Deadlift
>>37741303
You include the bar, yes. It's 45 lbs.
>>37741442
Cheers fella
I'll aim for 2 months then. Shorter goals as well of course
>>37741486
Is not 45 lbs, the gym where I go sucks and is ill-equipped with old stuff.
It weighs around 10 kg
>>37741482
Você normalmente levantar a barra de si mesmo quando você agachar, ou você tem alguém elevador, se para você, enquanto você a vida apenas as placas?
Peso depende do peso da barra que você usa. Se você usar um cabo de vassoura, que seria um par de libras, se você usar uma barra dos homens olímpicos 20 kg que normalmente é mais ou menos o peso de uma barra dos homens olímpicos 20 kg.
Todas as perguntas mais estúpidas?
I google translated it right back to BR HUE HUE for you
>>37741346
Definitely include the bar in your case, usually bars are 20kg
>>37741515
i'm italian xD
>>37741514
Usually 50mm bars are 20kg for men's, 15kg for woman's and 10 or 7.5 kg for technique bars.
Are you absolutely positive that it's not a 20?
>>37741539
the gym's owner told me the weight.
It is identical to the bar in the picture
>>37741574
He told you it weighs "around 10 kg"? Maybe ask him again just to be sure/exact.
But yes; always include the weight of the bar in your lifts. That's how much you lift, that's how competitions do it, and that's how you can easily calculate what plates you should slap on a 20kg bar when you see one.
>>37741574
>>37741617
Yeah, that bar is actually smaller. We have it at my gym and it's a good 10-15 lbs lighter at least.
>>37741617
These are my stats adding the weight of the bar ( 10kg, it's the same bar for all ), what do you think?
>>37740876
1 year doing anything serious, had a few major setbacks where I was sick, 170 5'9 manlet
ABxABxABx...
A:
Bench 3xF , basically grayskull, raise wheight by 5 each session, if I get less than 5 go down 15 lbs
Sumo deadlift 1xF- about 4-7 rep range
Incline press 3x10- Trying to get a real squeeze on pecs
Dumbell row 3xF-6-10 lb range, add 5 if I did not do pullups on off day
reverse curls 3XF 8-12 rep range
Bicep work(two variations of curls, 3xF each, one exercise 4-7 reps, other 8-12 )
B: Cleans and press rep schemes get moved around somewhat
Clean and strict press for singles after warm up
Clean and strict press for 3 sets of reps, reverse ladder
Power cleans for singles
The Press(TM), waiting 5 secs between reps, 3x5
lateral raises, 1 set in the 15 ish range, 2 drop sets
Front squats, 1x5, 1x 8-12(flat feet make squats painful, working on it)
Abs work
Alternate tricep rope pushdowns 3x12/skullcrushers 3xF
skullcrushers are supersetted with close drip bench, as soon as I fail skullcrusher keep doing close dgrip bench until failure
Off days- 3xF weighted neutral grup pullups, adding 2.5lbs each session, if I do not want to progress dumbell rows
Cardio
For some reason, My delts have exploded and are not overtrained yet. Just be sure to get tons of sleep and take a multi/anything you are deficient in, or this program will just wear you down
But atm everything is progressing nicely
>>37741529
Oh really?? xDD
>>37741657
Unfortunately there are only a bar like the one I showed you, you want to see support for the squat? look at the picture
>>37740876
>>37741719
And yes, It was put together slowly as I figured out what my body responded to for each body part and exercise. It started as a simple PPL, and I slowly changed things over time
>>37741737
yeah :|

Fuck off, Jaime Lannister.
>>37741719
Solid progress. I'm currently doing SL but will consider moving on to something like this
>>37738961
Injured so can't bench and press correctly
Not too unhappy with this considering I have been lifting for 4 months
>>37741967
Thanks man.
Its crazy, what works for me might work well with you, or it could stall you completely. You need to find what your body responds to. I've got a friend that does a bro split, and his numbers are great. Everyone is different.
However, I am a believer in that most people need more volume than most programs recommend, and the optimum frequency is a very personal thing.
Its all about finding what works for you.
>>37741702
work upper body more but mirin those legs
You still on stronglifts?
>inb4 curlbro
I'm doing SS with squat on the rise.
>>37738961
It's ok overall
