Be patient. Do things in your own pace to avoid injuries, but don't forget to push yourself.

Eat and sleep well, keep consistent, it will happen sooner then you think

>>35702367
If strength is your goal and you are doing SS or SL with proper diet/rest yes, you will make some very respectable gains in a year.

my max bench is 50 and i had to work to get up there

How the fuck is your bench so high when you can't pick up lmao2pl8 off the floor

Key to progress is to push yourself but to progress slow and steadily. Go all out, test your 1rm every other week and you'll burn out/injure yourself in short order.

Any hobby takes time bro, you don't pick up a guitar and play like Jimi after a few weeks just the same as you won't pick up a dumbbell and look like Arnold after 3 months training.

> 12months, you can make good progress

> 24 months, a good 30ish pounds lean muscle gain if you did it right, good progress

> 3 + years steady consistent training = walk in any gym and get respect

If you eat well, follow a good program and actually go to the gym without skipping then you will surpass pretty much everyone in a commercial gym in 6-8 months with the possible exception of bench (since even in commercial gyms you still can get the rare 3 pl8 bencher).

The important things you have to understand though is progressive overload is best so increasing your squat by 10kgs every session other than maybe first 2-3rd is retarded and will halt your progress.
Your bench will never ever reach good numbers unless you bulk a decent amount and also microload.

I started lifting last Feb, with my squats/dead/ohp/bench being 95/105/65/65 for a orm. Right now my orm's are 315/385/240/160 respectively. Just keep lifting and maintain a good diet and you can make gains too

>>35702367
>I should have some respectable numbers in about a year right?
By normie standards, yes. Absolutely. If this is the motivation you want, you got it.

You OHP 2 pl8 and bench less than 1.5pl8 ? The fuck?

>>35703602
Oh shit I just realised my mistake. I meant a 240 bench and a 160 ohp. That'd be done majorly strange shit if it was the other way around.

>>35702367
Impressive bench for someone with such weak squats and deadlift.

>>35702367
you'll be fine OP, I started out with a 34lb bench and a 200lb diddy
