started lifting a month ago on a greyskull lp variant and reached

maybe, depends why you're stalling. average guys will typically progress up to a mid 200s squat even if they do major mistakes. average guys who do everything right will typically get a low 300s squat before progress stops.

I"m just starting out and am skinny as fuck (5'10" 120 lbs), my bench is around 90 lbs, my squat is at best 115, my deadlift also being 115, and my overhead, which is my weakest keeps going back and both between 55 and 65. i only go 3 days a week so i know it's not an issue with rest and my routine is praised in the site so it can't be that either (phrak's + /fit/'s vriant)

i think im just to small and weak now so i should just wait it out?

have you considered eating food

>>39455200
Do you have a good diet? Are you eating enough?

>>39455308
Eat more.

i eat 4 scrambeled eggs and a side of cottage for breakfast and i try to eat an entire box of hamburger helper (w/ ground beef) for dinner since it's easy carbs and protein. i know it's high in sodium but im a poorfag. im an ectomoroph so i really have to force it down but i have been gaining weight slowly but surely. i havent figured out what would make a goood lunch but im trying to hit 3000 calories a day,

are you deloading on one fail or two? i have had a lot of fails and the next time i went in i made it. also switched mine so if i get 5 reps out of any of my sets i consider it good enough to not be a fail.


also eat more.

i do 2 sets of 5, and one more set of how ever many i can do. if i fail to meet at least 5 reps on any two sets than i deload by 10% for the next workout.

>>39455709
wait to fail two workouts in a row on the same lifft before you deload.

>>39455738
>>39455709
meaning retry the same weight a second time on a different day.

>>39455200
are you failing on first set? if not then you aren't resting enough between them. if you can do the first set you can generally do all 3 of them if you rest long enough

i hear it's best to wait 45-120 seconds but i get impatient and wait 20-30 seconds.

first my first lifts i alternate between bench press and ohp like in pic related. idk why it's like that but i just do it. is there any benefit to it?

you will progress faster because you won't be deloading as much.

don't do every weight twice. keep adding weight every work out. if you fail retry the same weight a second time. thats it.

>>39455701
Recount your calories you're clearly not eating as much as you think you are. Aim for 3000 a day. Count each meal so you know for sure.

oh ok ty for clarifying

I'm doing SS now. I've been drinking 1/2 gallon of milk a day.

>>39455779
Fuck mate, you're lifting for strength. Have discipline and rest a MINIMUM of 1 minute, up to 2 minutes and eventually when you push heavy weight, 3. 30sec rests are for muscle exhaustion, bodybuilder shit.

>>39455779
3-5 min is enough for novice lifters. once you get into intermediate range 5-8 becomes normal. after that it's not uncommon to see 8-10 min rests between sets.

like i said, if you can do the first set you can do all 3 of them if you rest enough. try increasing rest time and see where it takes you.

read this: http://boxlifemagazine.com/how-much-time-should-you-take-between-sets-understanding-atp/

there is no point in alternating between two exercises of the same type (pushing in your example of bench/ohp). it would make sense to do push/pull and even then you need to rest at least 3 min between them.

Is it normal to stall on squats? I'm still squatting 210 lbs but I feel like I'll stall very soon. Usually people only stall on bench press / ohp. I feel very weak.

>>39455779
>>39455858
if you alternate between bench and ohp on your workout days that's fine, however if you do both on the same day and alternate between them during sets then that's pointless and you should just focus on finishing one first before heading to the other.

i probably misunderstood you though

>deloads immediately
Functional over-reaching, read up about it on the Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning manual (disregard any and all other internet sources)

>>39455308
>120 lbs
I had to double check it twice in the lbs - kg converter. Do you really weight 54 kg?
How's life as a 12 years old crossdresser?

>>39455879
usually once you fail you'll be able to do it the next workout. could be many different reasons.

i wouldn't worry about it until you are stuck on it for more than a week.

Try GOMAD. Even HGOMAD is fine. You're way too skinny. I'm 4 inch shorter and weigh 175 lbs.

Eat more and drink lots of milk dude. Reach at least 15-20% body fat. There are no natural powerlifters who are <10% body fat.

>>39455670
nigga it's not just calories it's where the calories come from

if I get 2500 cal from fucking gummy bears and coke it won't help

count your macros
