So my gains have stopped increasing. Last year, I was at 175 lbs, benching 235, squatting 405. I stopped lifting for a bit (mental illness and car accident) and I went down to 153. I got back in the gym three months ago, and went up to 160ish in the first 1.5 months. Since then, I've stagnated. I've increased my calories, changed my routine, and still nothing. I had been training for strength, now I'm doing just a hypertrophy routine, and the number on the scale isn't going up.

Any advice please?

Here's my current routine:

Lower Body Day 1:
Low Bar Squat 4x10-12
Romanian Dead Lifts 4x12
Calf Raises 4x20

Upper Body Day 1:
Dead Lift 4x8-10
Pullups-Weighted 4x10
Curls 4x12-15
Forearm Curls 4x12

Lower Body Day 2:
Front Squat 4x10
Leg Press 4x10
Bulgarian Split Squats 4x10
Calf Raises 4x20

Upper Body Day 2:
Bench Press 4x10-12
Overhead Press 4x8
Dips-Weighted 4x10
Shrugs 4x15

Increase your calories more until your weight goes up. Your not a mutant so that should work.
>>
Think about your body's responses to stimuli as states within a state machine. You need to be doing enough work and eating enough food to switch to a gaining state. Some of the weight gained is going to be fat but some will be muscle. If you're really concerned about getting fat then you can try fasting for 16-24 hours once or twice a week.

There's a reason why people have been bulking and cutting for so long: it works.

"doing enough work and eating enough food"
This is the problem then. How do I know when I'm doing either? For food, I've got a calorie counter on my phone and I'm meeting my necessary calories every day. For lifting, I'm exhausting myself, but I'm still not very sore the day after I lift. I don't know whether I should increase my calories, or switch to perhaps a more strength-oriented workout (lower reps, higher weight), or both?

Is my forehead/hairline normal? My friends keep telling me I have a 5head and I should shave my widow's peak to make my head look more normal. I think it looks good personally.

Have you considered just playing a sport?
>>
>>39497415
People who play sports do exercises to help with their performance. I was wondering if anyone had good examples of these. Like I've seen videos of people running ladders but I would have no clue what to do if I tried to do that
>>
>>39497432
People who play sports do exercises and people who exercise play sports okay.

What is better for cardio /fit/?

It doesn't matter

What's important is duration, enjoyment and heart rate. If you don't like one way of doing cardio try another, it shouldn't be a pain or else you won't stick with it.

Best way to get vascular like this?

>>39496540
low bodyfat %, but also getting a SICK PUMP in whatever area you want to get vascular. the veins literally grow in size the more blood is pumped through them, so if you want really vascular forearms you do a lot of wrist curls and reverse curls

Mostly genetics. Low bf helps

so I lost 30 pounds and now it's time to start lifting

how long does it actually take to look decent? if it's gonna take years I don't wanna bother. can I actually make decent progress in like 6 months?

Shoulda started lifting from the start. It's gonna take whatever amount of time it takes. On a proper bulk and program you'll have a good amount of muscle on you within 6-12 months. 12-24 for very good.
>>
>>39496477
it all depends on you
If your diet is on point, you're training hard and progressing, you will see decent progress in less than 6 months
>>
>>39496477
In 6 months you can easily get "ripped" by normie standards. By then, the dysphoria will have already claimed your soul though.

Hey /fit/.

I've been feeling something on my lower back after the workouts in which I deadlift and squat.

I wouldn't call it pain, it's some kind of discomfort. I'm not lifting that heavy, just around 1x BW (180lbs).

Is this normal or definitely bad form?

Another question, do you guys feel DOMs after your workouts?
