central nervous system gains at your finest /fit/ aka beginner gains.

>>37741554
Yeah obv I am a beginner, do you think these stats are ok for 4month from total dyel?

>>37741491
We have the same lifts/sameish height/weight but im more otter. We're both gonna make it my dude keep it up

>>37741491
op here again, how long did it take you guys from my level to 1/2/3/4?

>>37741659
you should have progressed much more than you have, looking at your pictures. how often are you working out? what does you diet look like?

>>37742208
also do you do any isolation? if not then you need to

>>37742208
I do PPLxPPLx
Diet wise I eat at a 300cal surplus with about 200g of Protein a day

>>37742376
Do a bigger surplus. At least 500 Cal. Protein intake is fine.

>>37742376
that seems good atleast, just keep it up and you'll get better. Your lifts look pretty good for just 4 months to be honest.

>>37741491
>>37742128
Obsessing over the weight you have on the bar is an easy street to injury. You've only been at it 4 months, there's no rush. You'll get there.

>>37742384
Won't that just result in more fat gain? Or can I really add more muscle with 500 surplus than with 300
>>37742388
Is PPLxPPLx a good program for me? It feels good but I don't know if something else would be better?

Two months of military style self training,good results?

>>37742421
If you got time to work out 6 times a week then it's great in my opinion. As for now a fullbody workout 3 times a week would work too, or read into starting strength.

I'm doing a PPLxPPL program right now for about a year and a half, started it after about 2 years of lifting, still works, just make sure you've got progressing on your lifts and get the form down NOW, before you have to unlearn stupid shit.

>>37742675
I usually go for 180 sit ups at least every other day,with five minutes of planking
With 10 diamond push ups,followed by 20 normal,then 10 wide
And 6 days a week i run 1.7 miles in the morning and bike 3 miles

my stats aren't impressive.
bp: 185x5
sq: 225x5
dl: 245x5
ohp: 115x5

>>37742696
no back, bicep, or shoulders? you should probably get a membership to a gym

>>37742722
Im pretty homebound for the most part,but i mainly focus on 20 pull ups for shoulders

>>37742711
no offense but your shoulders belong on a skelly. you should do more of them. good progress otherwise though

>>37742741
none taken. i will.

>>37742738
>thinking pull-ups do shoulders

lol that's upper back and some bicep. chin-ups would be biceps and lats. shoulders would be handstand pushups.

>>37742759
Ive gotta say,thank you for the advice!
Ive mostly just been preparing for bootcamp style exercise more then aesthetic,but i always welcome trying for it

Started lifting in mid 2015. Turns out my disgusted flared rib cage actually makes my obliques looks huge, go figure. Also, do i have an oddly shaped torso? It looks like my upper chest area has a whole lot of real estate

Alrigt, so I really need/ want to cut. Obviously I HAVE to do cardio because I end up going over my deficit every day with my diet (~1750 kcals). I just have not had the time to run or shit after my lifts cuz I've been exerting my self to the point where I am just not able to do cardio. I really want to lose ~10 lbs of fat.
Supps are subjective to me as I feel like a lot are just placebo and merely supportive.
Guys, what do?

tl;dr cutting is hard m'kay, help me guys

is this some kind of a joke? You look _exactly_ the same in both pics. Have you been eating at a deficit this whole time or something?

>>37744657
Looks like you might have scoliosis

By normie standard, your body right now is great. Give it a couple of years, there's no doubt you'll make it

Don't be a fucking asshole are you blind.

Better quad development, better shoulder development, lats look a bit more flared, but that might be the angle, but quads/shoulders make it obvious

Also that squat and Deadlift ratio
I have the same thing too :/

>>37744119
great progress, since you are still so early on in your training, I don't recommend you do any more cutting, just maintain and keep progressing on your lifts

>>37746536
please work on your legs, you obviously have a very serious form problem with your squat, 2pl8 squat and 205lb bench is hilarious

>>37746572
His deadlift is 385
Is Deadlift not working legs?
Also I have the same problem as him. Do I just keep squatting until it fixes itself? I'm doing mobility work and stretches to fix it
Also, would squatting everyday be a good idea to catch up on legs?

>>37746564
routine and bulk diet?

>>37746564

t. fat powerlifter

>>37746595
depends on your form, but if your deadlifts are putting a serious strain on your hams then you are dropping your hips too low. The deadlift is primarily an upper back pulling exercise not a from-the-ground-squat.

It depends on your routine, if you are doing 3 sessions a week, you should be squatting every session as the muscles involved in the squat recover faster than those involved in any other major compound lift. If you are squatting <290 lbs it should be fairly easy to put on 5 lbs each session.

>>37746613

Find a TDEE calc, fill it out, cut 20% off maintenance. You sound like a fat fuck though so I would reccomend just cutting out fast food, sugar, breads/pasta, and baked goods. That'll be 1000% better than what you're eating now (and sustainable)

Stop lying idiot.

I have the same stats but WAY more muscle than you.

You didn't make any progress aesthetic wise.

I started lifting in late September
BP: 160x5 but im back at 145 to fix wrists
Squats: 225x5
DL: I almost never deadlift so 135
OHP: 95
How am i doing? My diet is not ideal and im trying to cut right now.

>>37748853
You made progress but it's slow. Stricter nutrition and try lifting.

>>37751666
The difference in weight between the pics is about 3 stone.
I'm trying to only eat 2 meals per day and on average I'm consuming about 1200 cals/day

>>37753007
That's good progress just does t look like it. Try eating 15-20% below maintenance and lifting.

>>37751150
>Trying to cut
Don't make that mistake. I was cutting while looking skinny af too. Do yourself a favour and bulk for at least half a year. It will be good for you. Trust me.

OP said he's 182cm which is ~5'10 as per google (this may be wrong I dont know)

>>37755525
in the unlikely event that this isnt bait, i just want to point out that the .97 is not inches. The .97 is referring to the fraction of a foot.
Because .97*12 = 11.64, the OP's height is actually 5ft 11.64inches
