Kek those thighs nice job curlbro
Started begining of May.
>>37266160
What site is this?
2pl8 binch today brehs
feels so good
>>37266572
I don't fucking get it
I'm on 2.5pl8 squat but not even 1pl8 bench
Feels bad man
tfw finally starting to see a hint of blue
Making it?
>>37266583
In my experience the key to increasing the presses is a high frequency and eating on a solid surplus of calories.
Anything in particular you think might be slowing you down?
Height and weight?
>>37266637
High frequency of what? Jacking off?
>>37266583
You're either a female or a T-rex
>>37266519
I am not a curlbro, I just don't enjoy squat.
>>37266646
of the movements you fucking retard
>>37266637
>In my experience the key to increasing the presses is a high frequency and eating on a solid surplus of calories.
That applies to all lifts, you dumb fuck
>>37266646
You're retarded, even if this was an attempt at being funny.
>>37266676
Looks like benchbro is more accurate
>>37266583
>lifting for 4 months
>can bench 1pl8 for reps
And I started out just using the bar. Something is wrong.
>>37266583
1 plate is 50kg, right? You can't bench that?
>>37266715
60kg
>>37266715
did you join the gym yesterday?
>>37266723
No, but the term plate is confusing to me
>tfw teal is starting to come in
>>37266733
one plate means two plates in total, one on each side.
20kg+20kg+ 20kg from the bar
>>37266733
a "plate" is a 20kg/45lbs plate.
"1 plate" means the barbell is loaded with one plate on each side
The barbell weighs 20kg/45lbs
You do the math, nigger

symmetricstrength.com in case anyone was wondering
>>37266802
hi fatty
>>37266569
Symmetric strength
>>37266802
How it rates you is largely affected by your weight and age, in addition to your actual stats.
You're probably a fatty
>>37266813
6'4" 220, like 16% bf.
>>37266795
Where did the term come from? And why 20kg plates?
>>37266816
Oh ok. I'm 28 so maybe that's why. I'll admit I could shed about 10 lbs but I'm trying to build strength right now.
>>37266821
Do you even fucking go to the gym? It's just shorthand.
It's 20kg plates because that's the largest standard plate. Jesus Christ.
>>37266834
25 kg is the largest actually
>>37266849
Not at the gyms I go to. I have never seen a 25kg plate
>>37266834
Got 25kg plates at my gym though..
You should relax, take your roidrage to /fraud/
is this ok for 7 months of lifting?
>>37266870
>is this ok
>doesnt even post lifts
>>37266870
Yeah you are right on target
>>37266802
Found the perma bulker
>>37266802
>>37266818
Decent bench but at 220lbs everything else is exactly as the picture says it is.
I do think the website cuts it a little easier for lighter (aka shorter) people though.
>>37266901

>>37267013
>Deadlift is only 15lbs ahead of Back Squat
Nigga, what?
>>37267033
I do deadlifts like once a week and I feel like I still cant get the form right but squats I do a lot more regularly
>>37266160
You're turning into Pepe one muscle group at a time?
Back squat 115kgx8
Diddylift 140kgx5
Incline bench (shoulder injury cant do normal for a while) 70kgx5
OHP (really weak due to fucked up shoulder) 47,5kgx5
Weighted pull-up 17,5kgx7
>>37267033
its not unusual if you dont skip legs all the fucking time
>>37266857
my gym has tons of them, mainly for the leg press.
>>37267076
Feel like this website heavily underestimates pull up strength i cant almost be at advanced with my ohp stuck in novice.
>>37266160
>130 kg bench
>intermediate
yeah right
>>37267259
He didnt mention his weight.
>>37267274
how does weight help in bench press?
what site bros?
>>37267296
The heavier you are, the easier it is to lift weights.
>>37266811
preciate it bro
7 months lifting. Is this good?
>>37267307
I still don't see how fat can help you lift something up while lying on your back
>>37266160
Fuck me
>>37267326
Not fat but muscle mass although it is easier to retain muscle mass while holding more fat.
There are weightclasses in most sports involving physical strength because the heavier guys would just crush the lighter ones
190cm around 77-80 kgs.
squat 60kg
deadlift 70kg
OHP 30kg
bench 40 kg
I went from 95 % subpar to 100% untrained in eight days. Already leaving humanity behind, brehs.
>97 symmetry score
Th-thanks, Mehdi
What program or site does this?
>>37267355
So they have more muscle mass, which means they are relatively stronger, yet the lift is still just intermediate.
Seems like some DYELs ploy to me, lower the level of those that are stronger to feel less worthless.
>>37267296
If you're fat enough then the range of motion is decreased by your fucking fatty fatness
>>37267366
Teach me
I'm this guy >>37267076 with a 17 score
>>37267374
What's more impressive, a 4 pl8 bench at 80 kg or a 4,5pl8 bench at 140kg?
dam son
>>37267382
Been doing stronglifts for just about 5 months with somewhat of a sports background. I hit lagging/neglected muscles with 3x10 or drop sets of isolation at the end of every StrongLifts session
but... I swear I lift
>>37267378
Yes actually i have 30cm of fat on my chest, so the range of motion is minimal
>>37267417
Dat 2 months progress
>>37267394
So what if a 200kg steel plate falls on either of them, only one survives.
what's the app called?
>>37267461
>>37267367
Symmetric strength, can you people not read?
6 months of lifting
>>37266160
Exact same as me, heres my 2 years
>>37267366
My score is -2
>>37267438
So you'd rather be a fat strong neckbeard than a strong and lean chad to prevent the unlikely case of a heavy object killing you?
>>37267675
You're neither
>>37266160
>>37267042
Try using straps or chalk. A lot of people mess up duddlys because their grip can't keep up with their strength. I was at a plateau with deadlifts for about 2 weeks until I made the switch to straps a few weeks ago and immediately broke my pr by 10kg and still making decent progression every week

>tfw your shoulders are lagging
Thanks Texas Method
Just over a year lifting, fully novice.
185lbs, 6'1". 5 rep maxes are 275lb DL, 195 squat, 150 BP, 100 OHP.
Progress probably comparatively slow because I didn't really commit to a routine until March.
Don't tell me I need to eat more; I already know.
>>37267897
Breh...
>>37267887
Swap out cleans for chin ups
>>37267767
So why is it intrinsically important to have symmetric strength?
>>37267948

>>37267322
I'm about the same, m8
>>37267960
Everything you do no matter what lift you're going to use your body as a whole.
With uneven strength distribution and asymmetry you're going to be more prone to injury and generally will not perform at maximal capacity.

>>37268020
what the fuck is that weak squat
>>37267933
I've laid off the squats to focus on cleans and back stuff
1.5~2 years lifting
Only started doing upper body in the past year (unless you count curls and cable tricep exercises). I don't deadlift often.
>>37268043
Must be the way my legs are. I'm 6'3. Get most of my height from my legs. So my squat is going to suffer due to my ROM.
I can lowbar 520 to parallel.
>>37268063
I see, my squat is 465 higbar, but my deadlift is only 485. Pretty sure my squat will surpass my deadlift at some point. 6'1 btw.
>>37268063
What are you running? Do you cycle or BaC?
>>37268060
pls be in Idaho

Feels good brehs, getting close to that 1.5 pl8
>>37268086
I B&C.
I was on 250 mg test e for a cruise. Just upped the test to 500 mg and added in some proviron. But that's about it.
>>37268063
Any advice for an untrained faggots like me of how to build up to your bench?
>>37268139
bench more.
>>37268139
smolov jr for bench press
>>37268139
Go heavy frequently, pyramid sets up and down to heavy weight. My usual bench session consists of
1 warm up set 1 working set of 10 2 working sets of 5-8 and 1 working set of a triple. Then pyramiding back down and finishing out with a max rep effort set.
When I get stuck I like to load up weight close to or at my max and have a spotter help me with some forced reps.
After I go heavy I always burn out with lighter reps.
I do a lot of tricep work, usually like 6-8 sets of cable tricep extensions alone.
If I took out chins, I'd be entirely blurple.
>>37266666
a-are you the devil?
>>37266683
My weight has never been that much of a factor when it comes to deadlifts and squats you fuck. But on the presses it matters a shitload.
>>37268360
>he thinks its the bodyweight that allows progress on lifts and not the calorie surplus with more protein
>>37268376
It's a bit of both you fug lets be friends
Three weeks. By the way, my left hip joint hurts when I squat above 35kg, what do?
>>37268626
stretch
>>37268626
Open up your hips.
'Agile 8' foam rollers. By relaxing all the muscles around the hip joint, you will loosen up the hip joint.
I'm bendy as fuck, but I had tightness all in my hamstrings.

Would you elaborate or link me to a more detailed explanation, please? I'm confused still.
>>37266160
Why is your deadlift so shit compared to your squat? Height and BW?
Lifting for 5 months.

>not curlbro/gymbro
>does incline but doesn't ohp
baka
>>37268796
Lifting for 5 months
these threads are so awkward for me considering I'm stronger than a lot of people who've been lifting for a year or more, and I've only been to the gym about 8 times since highschool, 7 years ago.
~ 3 years of semi regular lifting
21, 6'2" 185 lb
Most measurements are from typical workouts (6-10) reps. Not sure how accurate it is without 1 rep max info
3 months of lifting

Looking good mayne, chest is one of my weaker muscles too
>>37266334
How long you been lifting? Don't become a birdman
>>37266424
Atleast your symmetrical
>>37266480
Don't bother trying to compare yourself until you have lifted for a year, atleast you are above the genreal pop
5'8"

1RM's
Squat 230
Bench 205
OHP 125

Chinups ~80
Anyone else think this is bullshit? I am weak and look DYEL but somehow I'm "proficient". Don't let this crap fool you
