depends on your goals bro, going from your pic which is all i have to go on, i'd say you're on your way. i train primarily for strength, but with adequate nutrition and a proper routine there's no reason that you shouldn't be able to achieve it

For me I think it was just that I didn't know how hard to push myself on my first few sessions so I maybe underestimated what I could already lift at the start. I've deloaded squats twice and haven't improved on my ohp for probably about 2 months

Can any of you tell me what is your routine pls?

The dont be a bitch routine
>>
>>37308053
>>37308022

Sure man. My routine isn't very efficient though I. I do a variation of 5/3/1 I guess. I take a day-off between two sessions.

First lift is the reason I'm in the gym. I try adding 5 pounds every week. If I'm tired that day I'll go in and do a 3x3 instead of 3x5. All accessory work is heavy as fuck and I shoot for 8-10 reps. Just add weight to everything everytime you go in. Don't sacrifice form though. Having good form is the most important thing you can do.

A: High-bar squat as to grass (used to do low-bar but my shoulders weren't flexible enough and it was uncomfortable). 2 warm up sets. 4 working sets. Donkey calf raises, leg press, ab leg lifts, chin-ups.

B: Bench press. 3x5. Weighted dips, tricep pull downs, incline dumb bell bench, skull crushers, ab leg lifts.

C: Deadlift. 3x5. Seated row, pendlay row, bent row, pull-ups, ab leg lifts..

D: Overhead press. 3x5. Front and lateral shoulder flies. Seated shoulder press. Body weight dips, ab leg lifts.

I play soccer and ride a road bicycle on the weekends.

I'm doing SL 5x5 so do I just put 5 as the reps? I'm pretty sure I could do a lot more on each if I only did 1 set of 5 reps tho. Never tried my 1rm, don't have a gymbro and I don't think any of the crusty old people doing cardio at my gym would be able to spot me.
