Who here genetic failure? >nearly 5 years lifting >struggle

are you eating food?

I'm also 5'7 and 80kg lol kill me.

Is it possible that I'm just not cut out for this shit?


In my first year I managed to get a 100kg bench and 120kg squat but for some reason my strength has just degraded over time instead of gone up.

Yes.

I'll post a pic when I get home at gym ATM

It's probable that you are making incremental changes to correct your form and misremembering how well you used to do those reps. I know I "lost" considerable progress to my bench and deadlift multiple times to correct form.

How can you have a bench higher than a squat? I've never heard of that for people who actually train both.

i don't remember what my form was like 5 years ago, but I know my strength felt so much better.

I don't seem to be able to progressive overload anymore. And I just find my strength decreasing slowly as I get further into lifting.


I'm cutting right now but I'm still 80kg and I'm only 5'7 so i need to cut down to 70kg or so before I even think about trying to bulk again:

Thinking after I cut that I should perhaps start from scratch again on SS or something, but with a more conservative approach to the retarded caloric intake. I don't want to get fat again like I am now

I'm 5'7", 80 kg (cutting down to 70 kg as well), been training for under 6 months, my squat is 80kg x 5 and my bench is 60kg x 5. If you are actually following a good program consistently, something might be seriously wrong. Have you seen a doctor? What routine are you doing?? Are you on heroin?
