Broke deadlift, squat, and bench PRs 2 days ago all by at least 20 pounds. Amazing what just 2 months of strength training can do.

>>39005934
feelsgoodman
5x5 works great

>>39005961
I actually ran sheiko after stalling for a while. Been lifting 2 years but wasted a lot of time due to sheer ignorance and following meme bodybuilding routines.

>>39005336
>pyramid lifting
wtf is pyramid lifting? you have to bring a new member to the gym everytime you go?

>>39006048
>nice le meme xd
do you even lift?
like seriously.
its where you keep adding weight untill you reach your 1x pr

>>39005336
>How did you guys feel when you broke your plateau?
I don't know, am stuck for 3 years...

>>39006109
wow rude

>>39005336
>consistently break PRs almost every week for 12 weeks straight on OHP and the 3 powerlifts (on UL TM)
>feel on top of the world
>next to last week week was 62.5/105/142.5/165 x6
>last week was 65/105/145/165 x3 (didn't even get at least 5 reps at least on the lifts I didn't increase the weight on)
>actually went outside yesterday, danced with 3 qts, got complimented even, too autistic to even get a fb out of one of them
>saw ex again in my sleep
>have to deload this week
It might get better two weeks from now. It has to.

>>39006359
>check if i still do my max after doing 5x5 for a while
>2x that shit
>try 67.5 kg (new max)
>easy as fuck
>try 70
>abit hard but i managed
i was really fucking pumped today..
stressed because i had just drank 1.5 scoops of Mr. Hyde and i couldn't find my keys.
finally find them and get to the gym feeling really pumped from being stressed for some reason..

>>39005336
Had a 100kg clean and jerk for a good 4 months, finally broke it by 2kg. Every test since it has gone up even just a little bit. 8 months and I'm sitting at 125kg

>>39006121
Still haven't made it to the gym huh

>been lifting 6 months
>been squatting 165x10 for like last 2 months
>finally felt easy, hit depth on every one.

gunna try 170 next time

>>39007185
when your plateau goes away you'll get strenght gains fast as fuck

>>39007170
nah, best ive gotten was 120/90/160/70 sq/bp/dl/ohp.
but ive been stuck so long, i have no idea what to do.

>>39007245
Kg?

>>39008124
yeah

I was stuck on 165 lbs bench for the longest time on SL 5X5
Switched to PPL where you try 3x5 on bench press just once a week, and I've been adding 5 lbs nearly every time. At 195 lbs right now.

>>39008162
What is your workout schedule like? How much do you weigh?

>>39008305
~80kg.
it doesn't matter anyway, i dont think anyone here would be able to help.
thanks for trying though.

>>39008328
change routines, eat more, sleep more, try less weight and improve form.

>>39008544
yeah, done all that, didn't help.

>>39008571
roids?
your body might have reached its natty limits

>>39008602
if this is my natty limit, i should just kill myself.

i think it has to do with my programming, but i dunno anymore.

>>39008617
do you drink pre workouts?

>>39008644
nah, never have.

>>39008650
they work great for me.
pump me the fuck up.
like amphetamines..

>>39008766
i have no problem going 100%.

i have more trouble not going too hard...

>>39008817
Nigga just post your routine already fuck>>39008328

>>39008617
Try running sheiko. Your stats are very similar to mine when I stalled for a while. They key is to increase volume in the 75%-85% intensity range while practicing good form. This is what sheiko has you do.

I'm this >>39005934 >>39006030 guy btw and I'd strongly recommend giving it a go if you haven't already.

>>39008830
kek

>>39008837
>key is to increase volume in the 75%-85% intensity range while practicing good form
yeah, that's what im doing.
doesnt work though.

>>39008861
Well then something is wrong, so instead of bitching on 4chan, take the time to correct and find it. It could be you need more volume, more sleep, more protein or something else. I recommend sheiko because its a very structured and easy program to follow and the volume may be more than what you're used to.

>>39008898
I'd rather give up training than to follow some meme routine and admit I can't figure it out by myself.

>>39008991
At least you tried anon, thanks for leaving a bench open for someone who actually wants to make it

>>39009019
From all the people I've seen train, only a few whose genetics aren't good, actually sticked with training.

Whether someone "actually" wanted to make it or not didn't matter nearly as much as their genetics allowed them to progress.

>>39007245
Tfw 185sq/200dl/120bp/75ohp
Only lifting for a year and a half

>>39009088
kek @ only 5kg better ohp.
still, good for you.
ive seen a friend of mine get to a 4pl8 deadlift after only half a year, so i dont doubt your stats.

>>39009057

spoke like such a quitter

>training program created by a professional coach with over 50 years of experience in the field
>wants to reinvent the wheel, then whines when he can't "figure it out himself"
Like you said before, seriously consider necking yourself lad.

>>39009449
it's just training.
im not trying to reinvent maths or anything actually difficult...

>>39009481
>actually difficult
Well clearly it's been difficult for you to make any progress. Go with something proven and tested, don't try to come up with your own bullshit.

>>39009512
That just means I'm stupid.
And no, like I said, I think I'd rather give up training than to just blindly follow some shit.

>>39009481
>>39009527
Retard that's never gonna make it

>>39009594
Then so be it.

stalled at 1 plate for a month after 6 months of lifting starting from auschwitz mode, switched from 5x5 to 3x5 and swapped OHP for bench on my 2nd upper body day, was able to microload continuously for a couple of weeks which felt great. stalling was so demotivating and it felt like all my dieting was in vain, but im glad i stuck through it.

>>39009109
I injured my shoulders shortly before I started lifting. I'm 6'2 100kg. I can push press well over 100kg. I just struggle with the first inch off the shoulder

>>39005499

SL. I've been stuck at 135lbs bench for 2 weeks. What do senpai.

>>39009600
>>39010997
Noticing a pattern here. If you are like me and some other anons and stalling on 5x5 go down to 3x5. You don't need that much volume. You can do AMRAP on the last set if you like. The reason SL has that much volume is to get you used to working out. Once you are making steady gains you can roll it back and focus on form and recovery.

>>39006359
>>saw ex again in my sleep

I know that feel :(
