Lifting 3 times a week for 6 months 145lbs 5'8" Deadlift

As long as you're making progress, you're fine.

Sounds like you need to eat more

Push yourself (add more volume) on your mainlifts and do a shitton of accesories. If you hit a plateau it's usually because you need to strengthen other muscles and stuff.

>>39519838
eat more, that's it. i've been where u are, in my first year of lifting i made virtually no gains, i wasn't eating enough, but at the time i thought i was

Have you tried leg extensions?

I did random shit for a month, then did SS for about 3 months, have been experimenting with different routines the last 2 months. Instead of doing 5x5 all the routines have been 6-15x3-4 in the last 2 months.

Okay considering I eat <2000kcal a day this is probably /thread. I'm a poor uni student who sometimes just eats breakfast and then studies all day and then has a snack before bed.
But I always thought not eating enough would just limit my size, I thought I would still be getting stronger either way. Is this not the case?

>>39520094
You can get a lot stronger but you just don't have to be afraid of weights. Any strength gains you make are just from your brain getting used to your muscle and recruiting more fibers

>>39520094
Your body doesn't have enough protein to repair and build upon your injured muscles.
Hardboil like 9 eggs every morning and don't go to bed until you've eaten all them.
Eat peanut butter by the spoonful in between meals.
Drink the calories if that helps, whole milk is very calory dense.

stop planning everything so carefully. you need to adjust the exercises to YOUR BODY, what i mean is you might be better off doing 3x12 or 4x8, try things out, also, exercises aren't equal, are you saying that you also did 3x10 calf raises?

>>39520189
naw 3x15 for calf

I gained 32 lbs so it's working...I do 3x12 before I move onto the next weight for 3x8 or whatever I can do.

>>39520200
Next time try 3x40. Volume is very important doing calves, obviously not the same weight. Also if it's working then just keep going, but you have to eat more, diet is like 70% of your gains
