How do I fucking get strong?
Lifting for 2 years now, my lifts are fucking abysmal, I'm weak as shit. 6'1, ~180lbs.
Honestly, can someone post a full explanation of what I have to do to get stronger?
What I do right now is just a PPL routine I found on reddit and everyone says it's good, but I've been on it for like a month and I can't even add 5lbs to any of my lifts.
I eat around 3500 calories daily, I make sure I get a lot of protein and I take creatine, vitamins, BCAAs, L-glutamine and I try to drink less than three times a month.
Nothing is improving though.
Bench is 80kg 5x5
Can't squat cuz knee is kinda fucked, scared of destroying it
Deadlift is 150 kg 2x5
OHP is 55kg 5x5
Dips 25-30kg 3x8-10
Pullups with 10kg 5x5
Like I'm genuinely considering suicide because of this.
Bump for interest
Eat more.
Try any of these
1. Take a week off
2. Deload
3. Reduce volume: 5x5 -> 3x5
4. Reduce overall volume of workout
5. Stretch and become more mobile.
6. More carbs centered around your workout.
7. More protein.
8. Sleep more.
that tfw you're sakuma and not peco edition

Workout routines? I can run but have asthma so I usually use the arc trainer or elliptical. Thanks in advance

10 km every day
>>39367315
Any other tips or just keep at doing 12 like I have been? Usually do 6, lift, then another 6. I would research and just try new workouts but it's easier to ask what works for you already

Will my loose skin naturally disappear some day as I continue going to gym? I started at 5'10 210lbs and 3 months later(now) I'm 183lbs, any tips/recommendations pls?
>>39367248
Also, I got this...
No it wont, and stretch marks can happen
>>39367248
im an inch shorter than you and weigh 10 lbs more. started losing weight at about 210-215 too. have stretch marks all over my biceps and from my armpits all the way down to my thighs. i hope i dont get loose skin.
i heard loose skin goes away when you fill out if its not bad and yours doesn't look that bad
I was on my grind and feeling good a month ago and then I don't know what happened but I just fell off my routine. Stopped going to the gym, stopped eating healthy, and I feel like shit. Why do I have all of a sudden this lack of motivation and how do I get it back? Has this ever happened to anyone here? Could smoking weed occasionally be a factor?
>>39367149
Smoking weed shows lack of character, and lack of character results in failure to commit to labour.
You hit the end of your comfort zone. At this point its now time to work one of your strongest muscle, your willpower. So get off your ass and do it faggot
>>39367156
Why does it show lack of character, anon?
I'm a motivational speaker from Belgium, my friends told me you would be interested in my fitness videos! Check it out!! Does anyone have ideas for me to improve???

Je klinkt verdacht Waals en je ziet er verdacht klein uit
you seem like a nice enough guy. but why the fuck do you keep showing us the side of your face? other than that, not bad
>>39367113
Omfg.
Motivational speakers zijn zo'n fucking mongolen.
Moest je zelf motivatie hebben zou je iets met je leven doen ipv zo'n zever te verkopen.
En wat een rotchannel heb je ook. Enkel rehashed shit. En je hebt geen enkele squat mobilty crossfitmongool.

how's your quarter squat progressing /fit/?
>>39366617
lmao wat the fuck.
He would probably fold under a 3pl8 squat if he lowered himself more than 4 inches.
But yeah I STILL see fags doing half or quarter squats in the gym, despite the numale internet squat memeing.
I bet op is pretty and cute
>>39366617
Thats like a 16th squat not a quarter
Ok guys I was wondering if anyone of you have tried the kinobody workouts warrior or greek god mode , the basic principles seem legit but the programs overal dont seem that proper , so is it legit or is it a good marketing scum ?
Dude just do any routine that uses progressive overload. Doing his workout isn't going to make you look like him. Genetics decides that.
>>39366337
i have all his programs for free
its basically skip breakfast and lunch with black coffee
eat an apple and pop chips + dinner
workout 2-3x a week using Rest Pause Training.
I prefer just doing fullbody training 3x week and counting calories without depending on coffee :)

So literally exactly what Martin Berkhan was preaching for free with leangains.What a poser.
Do weighted crunches help get abs faster?
>>39366182
>falling for the weighed crunches meme
Also little to no difference, consistency and diet is what will make abs grow/become visible.
>>39366199
you're an idiot. it's highly unlikely you'll have visible abs without amazing genetics or being a skelly or on roids without heavily hitting your abs. just like people who have no calf muscle they can stand to benefit by targeting them. plus strong abs benefit your entite core.
You don't have abs OP? the fuck
I have done a lot of research on this, and it seems to be unanimously agreed upon in the scientific community that a diet devoid of animal products, and rich in whole foods is the healthiest.
Chicken, milk etc has benefits of protein and IGF1 which will make you bigger, but is unnatural and detrimental to your body in the long term.
Don't get me wrong, I don't really give a shit about killing animals, but if eating them is unhealthy then I guess I'm a vegan.
Your thoughts? Do you think muscle building outweighs health implications?
>>39365263
You've done shit research. Try not being a total fucking retard then make another attempt.
>>39365318
fpbp
>>39365263
'Healthiest' is not only quite a subjective term but also isn't the be all and end all of diet and exercise.
To gain the same benefits of a meat eating diet for a vegan requires an amount of time, effort and money that is far above what the average person would be prepared to bother with. Add in the extra requirements of protein etc a gym goer would require and the task is almost impossible.
The difference in disease risk between vegan and meat containing diets would almost certainly not be worth the detrimental effects of the additional preparation time and financial cost that is necessary.
>tfw no gym pro bf to take you to the gym and teach you how to lift
Make friends that aren't gay
>>39365132
Huh?
>>39365077
I already know how to lift though.
I just want a gymbro that I see at the gym a few times a week, sometimes we spot each other, then when we're done working out we can go home and fugg
