>>42348889
Keep doin what ur doin but get ur bf to 30%+ if u want strength

>>42348889
>I've been on multiple programs within a year
Name a few and why you think switching off of them so fast was a good idea

>>42348889
how much weight are you gaining per week

>>42348889

Push yourself harder

>>42348910
shit that gets recommended in /plg/ mostly. candito, 531 suns, ss, tm, and so on.

like i said, i always kept to it for at least once cycle but after i saw that there were no changes i went and tried something else.

>>42348922
was gaining around 1 lbs per week. my body fat is too high now so i've been cutting for the past 2 weeks

>>42348889

>eat at surplus
>no gains even with rest

What the fuck are you eating, son?

>>42348941
you're cutting, you will not be getting stronger now

regardless cutting is the correct decision, get to 10-12% and then bulk again (but this time don't exceed 15-16%)

>>42348951
i wasn't cutting until few weeks ago and i was gaining weight steadily at around 1 lbs each week

like i said, i wasn't getting stronger back then either. it seems like i have literally reached my maximum potential but the weights i'm lifting aren't really that impressive

>>42348889
im pretty sure youve peaked anon, some just werent meant to make it

>>42348948
good food mostly. oats, dairy, meat, potato, rice, legumes, fruits and that kind of shit. i don't really eat much sugar or drink alcohol. maybe some ice cream once per week and a glass of wine

>>42348974

>dairy

Gyno as fuck. I hope you're at least drinking organic to avoid to hormones/antibiotics.

>I don't eat much sugar

You do if you're inhaling fruit.

>>42348966
desu sometimes these things go in cycles

if you have been pushing progression on these movements for a good while, and eating in a surplus for a good while, eventually even with optimal conditions you are going to start getting some seriously diminishing returns

cut down, maintain your lifts as much as possible, and then when you get back to bulking and focusing on progressive weights you'll probably have more success

>>42348889
probably not enough food from calculating it wrong or just need to eat more
>tons of ziemnaki and beef/chicken pierogi
>stop drinking zywiec or cheap vodka
>drink way more water

or

you need to cut down to like 12% and then rebulk. being leaner is better for your hormones. or you're stressed about stuff so your test is suppressed.

or

you have fuckaroundnitis like a bitch and you're scared to commit to weights that might have you mess up

all likely things. please send me gold ecjya frugo from poland dzieki

>>42348997
oh and form. form is stupid important, you should film yourself and analyze what youre doing. I couldn't progress on deadlifts because i did them retarded and didnt even know

>>42348990
i mean refined sugar

>>42348997
i was gaining around 1 lbs per week usually. that's what was recommended in /plg/. pretty sure my calculations were spot on because that's roughly 500 over TDEE

i'm not polish so i didn't understand half the shit you wrote

>>42349022
what i basically said is eat and drink more than you already are, drop shit that affects your hormones badly (smoking, alcohol, etc)

you're either going to get fatter getting stronger so you might want to cut back down and maintain. after a certain point of body fat and metabolism stop working as efficiently so you have to mix it up
