My bench is slowly moving up to 100 kg, yet I have been on 100 kg on deadlifts for what feels like eternity now, I even started doing starting strength to make my weak ass deads and squats stronger, but the more I get into it the more I realize that this is all god's plan. He gave me long femurs just for the lulz.

nigga im getting close to 1pl8 ohp and im still stuck at 1pl8 binch, 200lb squat, and 2pl8 deadlift

and my shoulders are still small
>>
100kg back squat, 80kg front squat, 55kg OHP, 77,5kg bench, 110kg deadlift for 5 reps.
I look good but what the fuck? Stopped back squatting since I have some pain in the left hip and it strains my lower back more than FS. I prefer them anyways, my core is burning like hellfire after im done with them
>>
>>41248809
I started doing those meme leg raises that Athlean-x and Kinobody keep doing where you swing your legs all the way up to the bar in order to make my core stronger. I also have started to train my lower back more, I always thought that my main issue was a weak core but I still struggle with hitting ass to grass with 80kg on back squats.

>>41248830
your main issue isn't a weak core, your main issue is a low squat.

until you're squatting about 4plate you don't need to worry about imbalances or specific weaknesses as much as simply squatting to get to the bigger numbers.

It sounds like you are running a bro split.
>>
>>41249275
I usually alternate between following a brosplit and a masochistic full body routine where I train for about 90-100 minutes per workout. I started doing SS recently though because I realized that both the routines that I followed were shit, at least when it comes to strength. No wonder why Zyzz had to start roiding, his brosplit routine is fucking terrible.

The actual one is ok for intermediate lifter who don't' want to gain any more weight just gain aesthetics.

I literally hate benching and prefer weighted dips by far

because your body doesn't care about the arbitrary standards aligning to the perfectly whole and consecutive numbers 1/2/3/4 created by a chinese porn board
>>
>>41248774
For me, i ohp 1pl8, bench 80kg, squat 85kg and dl 115kg.
People said it was easy to increase dl but my legs shaking like a newborn calf's everytime i did heavier weights.

>>41249339
you have weak posterior chain

nuke your glutes and hamstrings with exercises everyday

>>
>>41249458

I ask myself the same question, only lift I've ever injured myself on too when I took a break from lifting and tried to literally pick up where I left off.

I've added snatch deadlifts and Romanian deadlifts into my routing, hoping that diversifying a bit will let me progress. Don't really want to entertain the idea of Sumo deadlifts!

1-2-3-4 is not even close to good. 2-3-4-5 is the baseline for being decent.
>>
>>41250681
2 plate strict OHP is elite tier while 3 plate bench is advanced at best

more like 1.5/3/4/5 or 2/3.5/4.5/5.5 if you want to stay proportional
>>
>>41250692
I'll accept that.
>>
>>41250692
and upon second inspection, it's rather

2/3.5/5/6 for someone that trains evenly

>no qtddtot to ask my stupid question

my goals are 1/2/3/4, on a 3x5 routine with weighted chins instead of rows
I'm getting 2000 calories & 108g protein and only increase kcal when I'm struggling to gain strength

is this a good way to approach it? surprisingly I've been gaining strength on 1700 calories up until recently where I felt I needed to increase
I just want to minimize fat gain
>>
>>41250692
This.

Most people can never reach 2pl8 ohp. That's more equivalent to a 3.5 - 4pl8 bench.
>>
>>41248797
I have long femurs 18, 66kg 1.75m training for over a year and can squat 120kg max. You have no excuse
>>
>>41248774
1/2/3/4 are completely arbitrary, those are only milestones because they are consecutive numbers

1pl8 OHP is generally not proportional to a 2pl8 bench, which is generally not proportional to a 3pl8 squat, which isn't proportional to a 4pl8 deadlift

the relative difficulty of any of these lifts depends entirely on the lifter and their proportions, athletic background, etc

someone who has been doing pushups their entire life and has short little arms is going to hit 225 bench long before they hit 405 deadlift, and someone who resembles a stickbug may hit 405 deadlift in a few months and 225 bench will take much longer

stop thinking you are supposed to hit 1/2/3/4 milestones simultaneously, you're retarded
>>
same. 120 OHP, 190 bench, 260 squat, 245 deadlift. why cant i deadlift

>>41250659
What version of 5/3/1 are you running? Squatting 1x or 2x per week?

How much is a plate?
Is that 45 lb?

>>41250659
the standard version of 5/3/1 is an extremely bad program, it basically has one working set a week

really only the deadlift can progress with that little volume, so this is no surprise

do beyond 5/3/1 if you have not already, or n-suns 5/3/1, or just a different routine completely because 5/3/1 itself is mediocre as shit
