Why the fuck is my progression so shitty? Everyone says to add

6.6 > 5

youre supposed to rest 5mins between sets

Ok I feel like a tard for asking this but is 5x3 5 sets 3 reps or 5 reps 3 sets?

>>41749670
I don't even have enough good weight disks to add, my bar is maxed at 62kg deadlift, the fuck do I do lads?

Thinking of getting a squat bar and iron weight set for dem squats and The Press

Go to a gym where they gave unlimited supply.

Is that really such a big difference that i do 3 reps less than i should? 1.6 lbs? Also i fucked up cause i actually added 2.5 kg so its even a worse situation for me.

Am i just a genetic failure and should hop on test?

You stupid cunt actually fucking assume that your bench press is going to increase by 3kg every session?

Assuming you started with only the bar you'd be doing your reps with 210 lbs in two months.

sets of reps always
3 sets of 5 reps is 3x5

>>41749734
2.5 actually

The smallest plates i have are 1.25 and i suppose most people have the same.

You absolutely don't need to increase weight in the bench press every single session. My bench press rep weight increased 22.5kg in the first 3 months or so, then 10kg in the later two months.

Adding 2.5kg even weekly is great process, no matter how noob you are.

>You absolutely don't need to increase weight in the bench press every single session.

So is SS a scam?

>>41749870
No, you can progress on squats every session cuz they use bigger muscles, same with deadlifts.

Try going for 6th rep on every set before adding weight on your bench.

OK Thanks

there's alot of methods to improve bench performance for smoother linear gains; better arching and foot anchor, lat engagement. depending on a number of factors, +3kg/workout is asking too much, especially if your admission of lifting seriously 3 months is true. also, dont skip your ohp. shoulder mobility matters.

progress ain't easy

some people have a genetic advantage and are aesthetic gym beasts. some people put on muscle faster, recover faster, have more endurance, or all of the above.

some people have a psychological edge and they can push themselves further than everyone else.

and then there are normies who can put in the same amount of work but get less results. but in any case you are better off putting the work in than not.

or just gear up and leave humanity behind. that works too.
