I have been told time and time again that when you first start lifting you'll experience a big burst of progress.
But I have been stuck at low weights for months. It's like I'm not progressing at all.
Anyone got any ideas what could be causing this?
I am alcohol and drug free and eating well/healthily.
Are you getting enough rest and eating at a surplus? There's not much else that can be the problem here, it's probably your diet, if you're just starting out.

Post routine, diet and how many hours are you sleeping.

It's hard to translate to english, but I do a full body workout (arms, chest, back, legs... ok not so much stomach, I admit) three times a week, with a 3km run for warmup.
I sleep 10 hours a day and eat bread (often with meat and cheese) for breakfast, usually a yoghurt around lunchtime, and normal dinerfood, you know, meat, fish, chicken, usually with potato. oh and I eat a alot of apples and carrots.
I think I got a pretty good diet?
Not eating sleeping or lifting enough
Most definitely one of those

Sounds like you need more food really.

Oh you fucking retard
Count your calories AND EAT MORE
Read the fucking sticky

Not enough info, but anyway, things that could be stalling you:
>not enough weight
>bad rep range
>too much cardio
>too much sugar and carbs

sounds like you need more protein
>>38407776
>3km run
>warm up
Your limiting the amount of power you can generate in your legs from the fatigue, meaning worse strength workouts and less gains
cardio on off days
Warm ups should be stretching, foam rolling and maybe light cardio

Get rid of the bread and eat more animal protein, eggs, meat, fish. Stop doing 3km runs, you don't need to "warm up" if your form is slow and proper. Running damages joints and inhibits recovery.
