Been on SS for 4 weeks. Should I take a few weeks off to rest

>>38393086

Are you eating enough? Sleeping enough?

>>38393124
yeah man I'm eating like over 4,000 calories a day.

It's my CNS, I swear to god. These deadlifts twice a week are catching up on me

>>38393144
You can customize it to where you can deadlift once a week, on a Wednesday. I think that's recommended actually.

>>38393086
Eat more, sleep more
Stop being a fag

>>38393086
Eating and sleeping are super important.
I personally take a week off one every 4-8 weeks and find it helps (and you don't really lose gains though you don't progress that week either).

If I'm doing a routing for longer than 4 weeks I try to follow a four week cycle of 1. Hard 2. Medium 3. Very hard 4. Light and that helps too.

>lift for 4 weeks
>Waaaw I'd better take a few weeks off

If your rest days aren't cutting it for you, and you're genuinely feeling like death then you should get bloodwork done. You May have Anaemia or something

>>38393086
>implying a barbell can fit on the rack so close to the wall

time to saw a hole in the wall if u want to squat mate

That's a lot of food, what's your lifting numbers?

>>38393086
same here but i don't feel fatigued
deadlift once a week, the numbers keep going up steady on that for sure

week 5 i did need to deload my squat and just work form, OHP and Bench progression is slow, mostly because my bench form was a bit sucky till recently

>>38393086
>rest weeks
what the fuck is this meme?

>>38394709
yeah same my upperbody strength is so far behind compared to my squats and deads

>>38394682
92.5 kg squat
100kg deadlift
35kg OHP
45kg bench
75kg bodyweight

last two lifts are still going up easy

>>38393086
Memes aside, you might seriously be low test or have a real condition, provided you're doing what you say you are (not "going to bed" at 10pm but staying up u til 4 on your phone).

Also, 4k cals is too much. I'm bulking at 180lbs and I'm eating about 3100-3300 a day.

post all the meals you ate on your last workout day

hello newfriend

>>38393144
> deadlifts twice a week
no matter what fit tells you, thats a lot. Especially if you go 5x5

>>38395672
The deadlift in SS is only 1x5 tho

>>38394728
keep at it, make sure you're doing chins & dips too
