I've been lifting consistently for 18 months now.
I started out as a 165 lb skinny fat. I'm now a 170 lb skinny fat.
I just recently hit 2 pl8 bench, but still can't properly perform a squat or deadlift with any amount of weight.

Bulking in itself doesn't make you fat, but continually cycling through bulk and cut phases will. That's what I'm trying to avoid by getting all of my cut done before jumping in.

Everything I've read about lean bulking recommends getting down to 10-12% bf before starting. I'm only doing what I've been told is the path of least kinetic resistance.

And I'm pretty sure I don't have an eating disorder but nonetheless disparaging someone for having one is pretty rude, kind of kicking someone while they're down

I ate a whole pack of bacon this morning then used the grease to cook 8 sausages and 6 eggs, which I also finished in one sitting. I can feel the fat building up in my chest and my left arm is tingling.

I'll bite. Describe your ROM and form. Also, if you've done mobility work you should be able to go ATG or below parallel for sure (without the bar, just as a stretch). Can you do that much?
>>
>>36977888
>>36977776

I'm 5'10" skinny fat, was 260 last year now I'm down to 180. I've only been training for a month with BBs and compound lifts and I have to agree. You should eat more, check your macros, and get your ass in gear. You've got the height advantage and you aren't severely underweight or anything from the way it sounds.
>>
>>36977805

My bench sucks, too, and I think part of it is having to lift while on my back. I can't check my form and overthink it while doing it.

Dude you literally weigh less than most girls. Stop fucking cutting and work out for real.

>>36978255
How many times have you tried deloading? If it's more than 2 switch to 5/3/1.
>>
>>36978133
Eating right can be difficult when you're skinny because you'll feel full a lot. It can be uncomfortable. You may associate it with feeling "fat" and think you're doing something wrong.
But the proof is in watching your lifts go up, watching your body become more vascular, feeling stronger and literally better balanced as you move around.
You've got this, you scrawny faggot. You'll be exploding out of your skin before you fucking know it.

Their takeout is legit. I was starving one night and couldn't be bothered to cook so I called in an order around 11pm, went to pick it up and expected it to be soggy, but it was traditional restaurant style take out boxes, gave me butter and syrup and all that shit. Beats the hell out of going there to cram in between three booths of obnoxious teens, a few drunks, and truckers.

I took some pictures today and should probably upload them because I needed a second opinion on BF percentage. I did it twice with a good time interval and came up with 15%, but that can't be right. My wrists and hands are girl size and I've always been either skinny fat or obese so idk
>>
Probably not, but my bench is horrible. Hovering around 40-45 kg for the past month or so, squats and deads are at 85/90 respectively and I think they're progressing well.
I'm thinking about just increasing volume with a bit less weight, heard some people got results that way.

I'm 5'8" and 140
I started lifting on a cut because I was a fat fuck
After 5 months, I still can't bench 1pl8 and just started bulking because I was sick of seeing my numbers stay so low
The last straw was when I finally hit a 180lb squat and my back was sore for the following two days and I had to deload because I couldn't recover fast enough.
I'm not as thin as I'd like to be, but I'm cutting down to zero muscle so I said fuck it and started a slow bulk.

I have a feeling my lifts will stay shit and I'll just get fat though

Can anyone give any insight to past experiences with something similar?
I just feel I hit my limit (without bulking) and I don't know how much I'll increase my lifts now that I'm bulking for the first time but don't have that noob gain advantage

I've been reading more about lifting than actually lifting

/fit/ has made me worse

Started just before newyear, never selected a goal/target/routine and basically just lifted more every time I went in the gym. Quickly plateu'd and stopped gaining ever since.

That said, I started Golden Six at the start of this week and I've already made more progress than in the last 4 months.

Squat: 70kg
Dead: 65kg
Bench: 45kg
Arnold Press DBs: 36kg

I have no idea what my body is capable of and I'm diabetic so I need to be very careful with injury, but I've randomly selected 100kg bench out of thin air and I'm going to aim for it while trying to keep my other gains in a similar ratio.

Feel free to tell me why I'm being retarded etc, I'm still pretty clueless but at least I have a rough destination in mind now and Golden Six is definitely increasing my strength even after just a week
>>
>>36977734
Sounds like you're morbidly obese. Can you squat with a rucksack with some clothes in on your back? If so, start there and build those thighs. If you're obese then you already have killer calves.
>>
>>36977753
>I just go through the motions at the gym though. I don't really give a fuck
This was my biggest mistake until now. But I realized that if I don't have a reason to go to the gym I'm going to remain the same and repeat the same infinitely. Now I either add a rep or two, add weight or add a new exercise to my previous workout. If I don't improve on myself the last time I was there then I probably shouldn't be there. Problem solved.

>squat stalled at 145 lbs
>bench stalled at 100 lbs.

Same lifts here.. First half year of lifting I only fucked around and made no real gains. After that I started AllPro's full body routine, switched to ICF and now I am on a custom PPL program. So I am lifting more or less cosistently a whole year, but when I was on ICF I wasn't that consistent (only 2 times a week).

My diet is at fault, lifting on a "deficit" since beginning, My bulk will start after my cut is finished because I have a fear of becoming fat again (wasn't that fat that I had some strength from that).

I am 5'8 and weigh now 147 lbs, weighted 160 lbs 3 weeks ago, finally my cut is working. Yep, I had no discipline for a cut, but this time I will make it.
>>
Bearing in mind that I'm a lardass and my goal is mostly fat loss currently.

I put 5kg back by being less consistent between Jan and now.

I didn't drop managing my diet and training altogether, but skipped sessions/ate indulgent food enough times over the four months to add up.

Maybe get an advanced lifter to look at your form? Even once would probably do wonders.

Keep going to the gym until it's a habit, and then you can start worrying about what program to follow.

I have to actively stop cutting at the end of a cut as well. Just find any type of food that you can reach your TDEE on, even if it's shit like ice cream and slowly get used to eating TDEE again.

Member of the lesser gender reporting in.

I can squat 70 fucking pounds. And I failed that today. Pretty sure I'm too much of a pussy to handle running 20 MPW and lifting (and cycling and pilates and other shit). I never take rest days because I'm an idiot.

I can OHP the bar.

Used to be anorexic (108 lbs) then became a binge eater. 2 months later I'm 5' 5" 135 lbs, look fat as fuck, and I'm addicted to almond butter.

Ayy lmao

I can only curl 25 pounds 3x8.

85 pounds 3x10 on the triceps machine. 80 on the the butterfly machine, 115 on the press (we're not allowed to do BPs at my rec center), 200 on the leg press (can't do DLs at the rec center also), 110 on the lat pull down, 100 on the shoulder press (5x5), 120 on ab machine, 100 on shoulder shrugs, 220 on calve lifts on the leg press, 80 on hamstrings.

Also seem to have piqued at 140 pounds. Still doing 2500 cal a day and not putting any more weight on (5'10").

I suck.

Wish I had this problem. I can squat and DL 1pl8 but my OHP is surpassing my bench somehow. I just find it really hurts my shoulders trying to bench and find it difficult to clench my shoulderblades, arch my back and keep my ass on bench / feet on ground, like it feels unnatural.
>>
>>36977677
>1pl8 bench
>2pl8 diddly
>1/2pl8 squat

been stuck at these numbers since january
>>
Lifting for almost 14 months

>90kg squat
>100kg deadlift
>50kg bench
>35kg press

However I started eating at a surplus about three weeks ago and everything's been going up.
>>
Hurt arm doing skullcrushers the other day. WTF have I done?

Elbow constantly clicks, rotating wrist causes it to click, fully extending or curling it hurts.
>>
>>36978081
You're going to need a fat buffer for making those gains. Don't lose any more weight. If you eat at maintenance, and are building muscle, that fat will disappear.

Go to bodybuilding com. Read up on the nutrition forum. Consider reading the eating disorder recovery thread.

It's not uncommon dude. Gain control of this now.
>>
>>36993780
Bench isn't even your biggest problem. Doing 1 plate squat and 2 plate dead is a bit weird. Are you doing low bar squats? I've also been lifting for 6 months and I'm at 2 plate squat and deadlift. I started with high bar and plateaued a bit on 1 plate, then switched to low bar and quickly progressed to 2 plate, so it might be worth trying if you're not already.

Your OHP is way stronger than mine though, I'm not even at half plate.
>>
>>36977742
Play around with your weights in a BMI calculator. You lose much more, you'll be in underweight/ very underweight area.

And thats calculated for people who aren't weight training too.

>>36980419
Am I skinny fat?

I'm five seven.

No matter my gains I will look like I'm overcompensating.
>>
I have gyno sometimes. I have no idea how this works, but at this moment, my nipples look normal.
But most of the times, its fucking gyno. It changes almost randomly with time

What the fuck?
>>
>>36988495
Slowly cut and you will look awesome
>>
>>36977776
Are you me? Except that im 5'7 135lb manlet.

i fell in love with my 4/10 co-worker who has a bf and have panic attacks over the weekend because she's with him
>>
>>36993835
So you squat 40kg but bench 60kg?
Wut
>>
>>36993918
No matter what you do with anything people will say you're overcompensating. Don't let it bother you.

It's like society thinks that only tall people are allowed to be successful, while short people shouldn't even try.

Be the best you can be
>>
2.5 years in. I weigh 130 kg at like 60%bf just like I did at the beginning. Biggest work sets : ohp 60kg. Bench 107.5kg. Squat 130kg. Deadlift 150kg.
>>
>>36994040
Those are pretty good numbers and you can keep a lot of that if you lift while cutting
>>
>>36993845
Those are good weights.
I got to 100kg squat in 6 weeks from DYEL and ijnured myself.
Now I'm starting from the ground up, and aiming for 90kg squat in a year's time. Going to play the long game. Want 4pl8 diddlys at 60YO
>>
>>36993878

I think my squat form always lets me down.
Everytime I get close to 1pl8, my depth just sucks. Idk if its mental or my flexibility is shit.

Also I stopped doing deads after my uncle who was a competing powerlifter told me it would fuck my shit up later in life.
>>
>>36993995
no im me

i'm 6'1'', 190 lb, and can only bench 3x10 95 lb despite having been lifting for close to 6 months

my arms are extremely small and i'm fat
>>
>>36994158
Do agile 8 for increased hip flexibility.
This helped me immensely.
