What a disgrace. I was half a rep away from 65 kg bench press.

Are you a 40kg little girl?

What app is this?

>>36518470
StrongLifts 5×5

>deload to 55kg

I know StrongLifts is shit but fucking hell lol

>>36518433
dont deload if you were only half a rep short. just bump the weight up

>>36518433
Jesus, how is your squat so low compared to your upper body lifts? How long have you been going?

>>36518499
The best thing is that it doesn't have you do more volume on those lower weights. Just do 5x5 again and somehow expect not to fail on 65kg again.

>>36518519
This. I'd just do 62.5kg again.

>>36518527
7 workouts in as a novice.

>>36518538
>>36518519

From what I understand this was his third time trying and failing 62.5. It's definitely time to deload.

>>36518717
Last to times I failed with 5/5/5/4/3.

>>36518761
I think you should deload

>>36518433
>tfw my squat is 90kg but my bench is only 55kg

Switch to 3x5 bro, 5x5 just leads to an early plateau

>>36519838
I want that mass tho.

don't worry anon, it's only your first week of lifting, right...?

>>36519108
So? Do you want a prize or something?

Fucking brats, man.

>>36520465
There's no need to be upset.

>>36520428
If first week is considered of 7 workouts.

>>36520465

tfw people use 70 kg as a starting weight on bench and never have lifted before while i started with the bar only.

>>36520567
I'm the guy he was getting upset at. I started at about 55kg.

I'm just okay at Bench desu mate, we all start somewhere. My DL is awful in my opinion though, I feel I should be doing atleast 10kg more.

We'll both make it someday though mate (unless you've already made it)

>>36520591

nah bru my bench is only at around 80 kg but my form as shit so i've recently dropped down and focused 100% on form and the bench finally feels okay now. hopefully ill reach 100 in a few months. wrist join paint is killing me though

>>36520646
Are you holding your wrist bent? That might be the problem. Try holding it straight. It will feel weird in the beginning, but you'll get use to it. #nomorefaggotwristpain

>not just doing a 3x5 scheme

>>36520707
>>not just doing a 3x5 scheme
Volume for mass. Will go over to 3x5 ones I become an intermediate.

>>36518433

>Squats 150 lbs
>Doing a 5x5

DO SS YOU FAGGOT

>>36520542
there's your problem anon, no rest days. Rest days are when you get stronger.

>>36520727
>volume for mass

;)

>>36519977

You aren't going to have any mass if you can't bench LMAO1PLAYT.

Fun Fact: Any "big" person you've ever seen can bench at least LMAO2PLAET

Lifting really light weight for more reps just keeps you small.

>>36520735
Nah. Every other day are rest day. What I meant was if 7 workout counted as a week of training.

>100kg Squat

Jesus Christ you people.

>>36520756
My chest is decent tho, compared to the rest of my body. I make progress on all the other lifts.

>>36520774
I don't get it? 100 kg back squat is intermediate for skeletons.

>>36520780

It might also be a form issue. You DO have an appropriate back arch, yes?

It COULD be a "you don't eat enough" issue too. While that would usually cause the other lifts to stall as well, the presses will almost always stall before squats and deadlifts.

>>36520774
According to these sites it's intermediate

http://www.strengthstandards.co/#/
http://symmetricstrength.com/


and according to this http://strengthlevel.com/ I'm 10 kg off which I would say I'm "almost" at


BTW I meant fully intermediate as in my lifts reach the standards for intermediate according to those sites, not that they're firmly intermediate or whatever

Gain weight you fucknut. And stop posting until you can squat 3plate. You are everything wrong with /fit/

>>36520813
here's another site in which my squat qualifies as intermediate for my weight group

http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/SquatStandards.html

>>36520759
No anon, you count all the days since you've been training.

>>36520849
13 days.

>>36518433
Why does your app look different? I just checked and mine does not look the same.

>>36520863
Ah you're doing good my young son. if you're struggling, check your form. That is often a cause of stalling.

Don't forget that you are supposed to switch to 5x3 (or 3x5 I've seen it both ways) after so many deloads. I didn't and was wondering why my progress had gone down so much.

If you don't want to do a deload just swithc to 5x3 for that lift. You should keep making progress. 5x5 for an LP eventually runs out about where you are. You should be able to take 5x3 for a while.

>>36519217
your bench is way too low for those lifts

>>36520993

Squat: 70 kg, deadlift 105 kg, bench: 62.5 kg (Deload to 55 kg now).

>>36520993
Jeez I didn't know. I thought the point of that conversation chain was telling the guy how imbalanced our lifts were? The bench is the lift I work at the most because I suck at it. And I still fucking suck at it. Squats and deads build totals though, so I'd rather have strong legs and weak arms than the other way around. It's very embarrassing and I'm working on it constantly. But I'd rather think my squat and dead is way too big for my bench!

>app charges for 3x5

Lol.

Are there any non-jew apps out there that can recommend a starting strength program?

>>36521107
1) Your memory
2) A notepad or notepad app

>>36521107
Already paid for it. All hail Mehdi. Just don't know when to change to 3x5 yet. Thinking when I become intermediate in all my lifts.

>>36521142
No you do it now and switch from SL to SS

If you're scared of cleans then just to a deadlift variant

>>36521151
Nah. Who want to look like Rippetoe anyway. What about Reg Park?

>>36518533
>The best thing is that it doesn't have you do more volume on those lower weights. Just do 5x5 again and somehow expect not to fail on 65kg again.

not sure if this is irony/sarcasm?

>>36521175
I've might have started at 60 kg on bench because of my ego. I might also have done 4 set instead of 5 set, because I didn't have the app and forgot. But oh well.

>>36520567
Yeah I mean holy shit. Who are these people. I started lifting in highschool and my 50kg bench was seen as good. who the fuck starts at 60kg +

>>36521219
I started at 60 kg. Might be the reason I have to deload now.

>>36521236
>>36521219
I consider myself weak as shit, and I was able to 5x5 145lbs (65k) my first week. I was a 155lb skinnyfat neet who had never done a sport in his life.

>>36521275
>weak as shit
doing 5x5 10 pounds below bodyweight
could easily do at least 1 rep at 155
yeah no

i started weak as shit and i couldn't even do a single push up before gym

>>36521174

Reg Park is 3x5 at work set - the first 2 sets of the "5x5" are warm up sets

>tfw when 80kg squat, 85kg deadlift and 47.5kg bench
1 day I may

>>36518433
>actually using that app
