so about 3 months ago i started SL. At the beginning all went well, but about a month in my PUSH lifts (OHP and bench) stopped increasing.
At the moment I'm deadlifting 255, squatting 225, and rowing 165.
My bench is a ludicrous 110 and ohp 98.
Now, my diet is ok (500 surplus), protein intake is also ok, form good as well (film myself), sleep 8 hrs, low stress and never missed a session.
My test level before starting was 750 and if matters, I'm hypothyroid (take levo).
What could it be the problem /fit/ ? Muscle imbalances, long arms, ..?

Are these measurements in lbs or kgs?
Because how tf did you get 98 lbs ohp?

Gotta be a calculated 1rm

Not OP but they look like lbs to me also OP youre doing something severely wrong if 3 months in youre at 110lbs(50kg) bench and 98lbs(45kg) ohp unless youve never lofted before. Have you tried lowering reps with higher weight? Worked for me to get past plateau then up the reps again. Sure its not a pyschological problem of not being able to break the barrier?

All in lbs. And all 5x5. And that's why I'm asking here...

Wait what the fuck are you implying? That you should be at 50kg after 3 months?

Its 1 rm. That weight is ok but not the stall.

Switching between 3-6 reps worked wonders for my ohp, and on bench you can try around with 8-12 reps and then go up linearly to a new 5rep max

Had the same problem. Switched up bench barbell with dumbell for 5 weeks and it help a lot

>>39927707
how often do you increase weight, how heavy are the increments, how long do you rest between sets?

Whatever you do, DO NOT ALTER THE FUCKING PROGRAM. Some anons will suggest that, but don't play around with the rep ranges, the program will tell you what to do if you're using the app.
You'll go from 5*5 all the way down to triples I think. Do some accessories if you want to, but don't overdo them.
I made that mistake when doing stronglifts and lost good two months of training.

You fell for SS/SL meme

The only thing i can think of is that it's not welded together for some retarded reason, and it just slipped through between.
