>month into SS
>squat is my weakest lift

what did my posterior chain mean by this

This is what happens when you don't train squats for a long time and then try to get back into it.

I'm having to relearn form and work my way up.

Squat 220 x5
Deadlift 320 x5
Bench 215 x5
OHP 140 x5

Guys how does this work.
It says put the highest weight you've done recently and then the reps.
Say however you do X amount of kg 5x5. What do I put ? X times 5? Because clearly my actual 5 max rep is higher than that or I wouldn't be able to lift it again for 4 other series.
So...?

>>41901211

You go to the gym and figure out your actual five rep max.

>>41901211
Yes you put in X times 5.
As you say your actual 5 RM is most likely higher but there is no way to calculate that.

What pull-up is symmetric strength talking about exactly? Front to chest? I also always do my pull-ups with the elbows facing forward to hit those lats, like a pushing ohp. But it seems to me the regular pull-up is more like a pushing benchpress.

What the fuck are? Seriously, can you tell us your lifts?

>>41909297
Just do Starting Strength and stay consistent! We were all like that when we started. Consistent work and you'll make it someday!

>>41909313
my biggest issue right now is I don't have the flexibility in my arms (or maybe my back/shoulders?) to do squats
I can't get my hands nearly far enough back to hold the bar

One stretch that could help with that I think is this one. Also, consider recording yourself/having a friend record you so you can get input of your form.

What program are you running?

>What program are you running?
not doing a program yet, still figuring things out at this point
learning proper form for deadlifts, rows, overhead press and working on my flexibility
I'll check out pec stretches, thanks

>>41909860
Run something like starting strength or stronglifts. (I recommend Starting Strength between the two) all it is is doing those lifts 3 times a week snd adding 5lbs each time until you can't add anymore weight. Then you just take 80% of the weight you can't do and work back up. Once you do that three times you move on to a new program. (I recommend Texas Method)

Don't become green. you might die.

>Still look DYEL
>I wanna be stronger
Those two things don't always get solved simultaneously unfortunately.

>>41909299
>What the fuck are? Seriously, can you tell us your lifts?
A person like that shouldn't even know his or her 1RM or 5RM or even any RM. That person is so new to lifting that it would be an utter waste of time to try to find some type of rep max because, assuming decent nutrition and rest, that rep max would change the very next week and would benefit far more from doing actual volume instead of testing.

>>41908826
Are you actually a girl though?

I've been to many gyms and it is uncommon to see girls with those stats, and 100% of those have been girls that have been training for far longer than eight months.

If you are a girl and it did take you eight months, great job. Consider social media.

>>41910050
I am actually a girl. I just have good genetics, I guess. And I found fit early on so I didn't follow instagram meme workouts

>>41910032
I'm baffled by him. How is he getting that spread of his muscle development? Some of his muscles are intermediate, while some are weaker than a sedentary person's.

They don't make any sense for what exercises they correspond to either. I have no idea what weights I would put in for what lifts to get that kind of spread.
