Don't worry, man. Working out for 10 months and still blue. Although I'd be intermediate if I lost like 50 lbs.

Also:
>Why doesnt this site take height into account?

Height doesn't directly increase your strength. What directly increases your strength is lean body mass. So if you have a higher lean body mass, you should be able to lift a whole lot more. It doesn't matter if you're 5'7" or 6'4"

>>38411398
>Why doesnt this site take height into account?
Because it's not. Keep in mind any lifting is always classified by weight. Taller people tend to be also heavier but the height itself is not the determinant factor.

How did you start ? plz help

My lats are so undertrained to the point that when i do pull ups its mostly my shoulders and arms doing the work that I don't feel it in my lats at all

>>38413279
Try to get a doorframe pullup bar at home and vary your grip style and width.

Do easy sets, like 1-3 every thirty minutes all day

Do 3 max effort sets on some days.

>tfw novice after two years.


I think I've actually stopped caring too.

>>38413279
You're probably pointing your elbows inwards, try to keep them in the horizontal line your torso is.

Another exercises that helped my lats greatly was the pull over.

>>38413324
maybe that was the real gain

>>38413375

Maybe.

I have short arms and short femurs which means I should focus a lot on bench and sumo deadlift but I'd rather pull conventional and just do OHP instead. I am my own gains goblin.

>>38413279
Do seated rows. Play around with the different handles such as close grip neutral grip, wide grip overhand grip etc etc.
Now do the same with pull downs.

I also fell for the Calisthenics meme in my early lifting career.

Not even close to hitting red though, what lifts are giving you that result?

http://symmetricstrength.com/

I'm all novice (except intermediate in squats) after 4 months of StrongLifts. Only 5kg in other lifts off intermediate all around though. FeelsGoodMan. Gonna be slow from here though.

>>38413515
I fell for *street workout* meme and did all kinds of pull ups. Like archer pull ups and so on. My peak was like 10 muscle ups and 3 ohp each. Even brought weighted vest(10 kg). Worked legs like once in a week. And this shitfest lasted like 2 years.

But I was thinking, it is easier for a shorter guy not only to just gain mass, but also just do exercises, like the rom in the bench is smaller
>Lean body mass = Strength
But 2 people withe the same lean mass and different heights will rate differently, because the shoet guy will have an easier time lifting
>>38413185
Fucking how

OP, can do maybe 3 pullups, cant get a doorframe bar, and the bars at the park near me got destroyed. I'm doing chinups on SS day A and vbar pulldows on DL day

>>38413905
Neat. Now I just need to work on my diet. I'm only 60kg at 5'8". Going to try and aim for 2850 calories per day so I don't gain too much fat when I'm bulking. How does that sound?

>>38413696
>the short guy will have an easier time lifting
Everyone has different leverages so this is not correct.
Short dude with long arms is gonna suck dick at the bench, tall dude with short arms is gonna suck dick at the deadlift. Height only really matters as the starting position of the deadlift is relatively higher for short people, otherwise it's all variable.

Half a year SS, still Grimace mode.

Tell me /fit/, do I need GOMAD?

>>38413696

Why are your quads less aesthetic than your torso

>>38414002
two and half years, but I've been very on and off about it. In total I've lifted consistently maybe half of that time in bursts of a few months.

I burn around 200 calories on the treadmill each time I go to the gym (3 days per week) and also occasionally do hill walking so I think it's maybe necessary. I've been eating somewhere around 2500 calories atm and not gaining a single pound.

I've been lifting for a month. I'm good at benching, I did it quite a bit over a year ago when I went to the gym. Back then I had a lot of knee complications and couldn't squat or deadlift, so I gave up

well my front squat is 140kg and max clean is 124 so i think it's going ok when comparing those. Snatch def needs some work on tech.

my other lifts for comparison (keep my bw in mind):
DL 180kg
push press 110kg
ohp 80kgx2
BS miserably around 150-160
power clean 105

give those to a 70kg guy on the site and see the map
