Been stuck at the same bench 160 5x5 for 3 months with no progress of going up, i weigh 152 and eat 2500,3000 cals a day and cant seem to grow is this a problem of not eating enough? Or should i switch to higher reps low weight. Tips appreciated thanks bros
Not enough info.
What is your protein intake like? How are you sleeping? How is your form and mobility? How often are you training?
On cursory info, I'd say drop the weight 10-15% and switch to 3x5 and see if that helps. Otherwise re-evaluate the other pieces mentioned above
Step away from flat bench for a while. Pick another main pressing movement - hammer bench, dumbells, dips, incline, whatever and use it as a falt bench alternative for a few months. Incorporate more fly movements into your chest workout to compensate for the lower volume. Also work on ancillary muscles - front delt and tris.
You only weigh 150... 3,000 cals a day is plenty. It's realistically more than you need. Unless your macros are ass, the problem isn't your diet.
Get more sleep.
120 +protein usually 2 50g shakes a day plus food, form is good use mark bell advice, mobilty is fine . I also notice my deadlift is very weak compared to my bench and squat could this be a back issue
hey /fit/, i wanna get muscular, but I'm way too skinny to hit the gym yet. What's the absolute minimum and recommended equipment that I should get for my house?
you look cute

I'm in so much physical pain I can't sleep. I've taken all my meds and it still hurts. Anyone else who've been/is in a similar situation? How do you cope
What kind of pain is it? If it's a sharp pain check to see if you fucked something up while lifting. If it's a warm dull pain then it just sounds like your really sore. Take a hot bath and try to relax. Remember, it is a good pain battle brother.
Did you just start lifting? I still remember my first two weeks were painful. Even putting on a T-shirt hurt like hell

True, my freshman year I started helping one of my D&D buddies get /fit/ the mourning after our first workout he could barely move his arms
ITT: Girls so cute they either motivate you or demotivate you from lifting

Been lifting for about 9 months, all my muscles have developed a fair bit (I've gained about 3-4 kg), but my abs are almost non-existent, i have a line down the middle and the top 2 are visible, that's it. I read here that ab training is not necessary, that you just need to have a low bf%, but I'm starting to think that I have abnormally underdeveloped abdominals or something, so what exercises should I incorporate into my routine? How do you do ab training?
>>36717312
in 99% of cases of "no abs" it's having too high bf%

Im only 64 kg though (177cm, which I think is 5'10 not sure), I really think that my ab muscles are just weak, im 18 and i didn't do much exercise growing up, so maybe I never gained proper strength in that area

senpai...
/fit/, since close to a year, bulking has been a nightmare to me. I shit twice a day, and it often looks like pic related(not mine but found on Google). I also have constant gas and my farts rarely stink. It is also hard to hold the shit in.
My father had ulcerative colitis, but I had a rectoscopy performed 6 months ago and they found nothing. Now I am suspecting Crohn's, but from what I see from the internet shit like this is caused by parasites.
Or is it just because I eat a lot? The reason I am asking this is because I ate little food with particularly...

It looks like you have an absolutely shit diet.
>>36717224
Also mucus. It looks like you have a lot of drainage maybe.
>>36717520
That can't be the case. For example today I ate oats and eggs and strawberries for breakfast, potatoes and greek yogurt and a carrot for lunch, and pasta with tomato sauce and chicken for dinner.
am I ever going to make it bros?
>>36716404

Because contrary to what you might think, some athletes don't train in an optimal manner.
Those guys could probably do chest and shoulders training to improve their strength in the water, but why bother since they got drugs and that physique is 'toned and attractive' to most people.

There are no aquatic mammals with impressive physiques.
Anyone here try Pavel's Power to the People routine? It seems really basic and minimalist, which appeals to me. Its pretty simple as described below:
Workout five days per week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Every workout is the same. Workouts take about 25 minutes and consist of only two exercises; the deadlift and a press variant (OHP, military press, etc).
deadlift
today's work weight x 5 reps
90% of today's work weight x 5 reps
press
today's work weight x 5 reps
90% of today's work weight x 5 reps
>>36718058
needs squatz
Interesting. Im currently doing full body 3x a week, though 5x is supposed to be even better. I guess technically youd be hitting 80-90% of your muscles doing just a diddlylift and a press. Definitely a pure strength routine
>>36718058
absolute meme tier workout. Need squats and bench. If you do this workout you will just get a large core and shoulders but have tiny legs and arms. literally jellybean mode
Will bacon really clog my arteries and give me butt cancer?
>>36717674
Implying you don't already have rectal cancer
Yes and no.
The truth is that dieticians have no idea what the fuck does anything.
Once it was fats, then it was carbs, then it was fats again. Now it's gluten or some shit.
Fun fact: "Nutritionist" is not a protected profession. Literally anyone can call themselves a "nutritionist".
The fact of the matter is that so long as you work out, eat vegetables and meat, you won't have any problems.
All this shit to make people only eat one type of shit is that market trying to gain money.
Eat balanced. Fuck all of them.
Eat bacon with a side of green beans.
Have an egg there too.
Now you're fucking like 3 different groups all at once.
When you do that, you know you must be doing something right

Currently 160 at 5'11, Should i "lean" bulk or cut to skele mode? Recovering fatty down from 235 btw
>>36714918
Bump
>>36714918
Cut for summer and start a bulk in September. You got a bit of stomach fat still and even if you lean bulk you will still look fat this summer. Lean out first and lose the baby fat
>>36714918
You are one disgusting fat ass motherfucker.
Seriously though, how do you work out/run when all you fat deposits flap around all over the place?
Jesus Christ. I feel sorry for your parents.
What's better for bulking? $20 worth of chinese food delivery or a large pizza?
Neither. Get Greek or Mid-Eastern.
20$ of real food
>>36714119
Pizza might be a little bit more healthy and more calorie dense.
