How rapidly should a noob be making gains, /fit/? I've been

height, weight, age, what routine are you following?

You should be able to add 5 lbs once to twice a week depending on the lift while you're still a novice.

Are you squatting at all?

Also post your height and weight.

6'4, 195-200lbs, following the beginners routine I found on bodybuilding.coms forums.

I've made gains, but I keep hearing about these noon gains and feel inadequate. I dropped 50lbs from lardass mode and I think any small amount of muscle I had previously went out the window with the fat.

I've been trying to add 10lbs at a time (no 2.5s in my gym) and add those reps at the beginning of my sets until failure while keeping good form.

My curl has improved the most from barely doing 20lbs to 50lbs now.

Doing air squats as well because my body is disastrously not limber. I'm going to add them in once I can get parallel with flat feet.

Well if part of that weight loss is from the past two months while you've been weight training then that's why you haven't been seeing the typical noob gains. Typically, when people cut, they lose strength - a lot of it sometimes. Since you're still a noob maybe it balances out and you're not actually losing strength while cutting. 50 lbs is a lot, so I wouldn't worry about not getting stronger while you were cutting.

Cutting and building muscle is sometimes possible, but I wouldn't worry about it and it takes a lot of time/effort/planning/motivation or steroids.

You are not missing out on the noob gains. Once you start eating a caloric surplus your strength gains will start to shoot up until you reach something like your soft potential where your gains stop being linear and it takes twice as much time and effort to build muscle.

Do you do barbell or dumbbell curls? I can't curl more than 13kg in an arm and It's been a month for me now.
