I can't believe I missed out on this feel for so long.

Did you neglect OHP? I can only deadlift 2plate, and my OHP is 57.5kg.

>>move the furniture in the living room

You lift in your living room?

>tfw your gym nemesis fails a set

I have my own house, just me living there. Not enough room in either of the bedrooms really. And it's a good way of making myself lift - I have to finish lifting before I can move the couch back and watch tv

Not the other guy

That's a nice OHP, what's your other stats?

I'm at (x5)

55kg OHP
75kg Bench
112.5kg Squat

>tfw lifting for 9 months
>tfw still barely able to bench 1plate

>3.5

>cutting for what seems like forever

>lower abs finally starting to show up

you cant spot reduce which sucks, but im glad it's finally going away

>Using headphones in an empty house you can blast music in
>Not quitting smoking before you even think about starting to lift

>tfw trying to progress on OHP in 10kg increments because no microplates
kill me

102.5kg DL (2 reps)
82.5kg bench (3 reps)
70kg squat (5 reps)

Been doing 5/3/1 since january, I did calisthenics before that.

My shoulders have always been a weak point, but I've been keeping track of my progress since I started 3 months ago and I've only added 11.3 kg / 35 lbs to my lift since then.

I get plenty of rest and keep track of what I'm eating, but at this point I'm concluding my routine is complete garbage and that I'm clearly not stimulating my shoulders enough.

That does sound weird. I thought my shoulders were complete shit as well, but my OHP has been progressing nonstop since I started 5/3/1 at the beginning of this year.

What do you do for shoulders?

I get home from work at nine, so blasting the music doesn't make the neighbours happy. I like to keep them sweet as they keep an eye on things for me when I go away.

I've cut my smoking down substantially, but between quitting junk food and soda, as well as starting to cook properly, i find i value my smokes much more.

This is from today. I time myself for rest and usually wait around a 1:00 - 1:30 min

OHP: 38.5 kg / 85 lb x 5
DB shoulder press: 15.9 kg / 35 lb x 6
Standing DB high pull: 15.9 kg / 35 lb x 6
Front Raise with a slow slow negative: 6.8kg / 15lb x 8
Lat Raise: 6.8kg / 15lb x 8

Finally 1/2/3/4

Next goal 2/3/4/5

Good job man!

Strange, that's a lot more volume than I do.

Are you eating the pokemon you catch?

Yeah, I dunno man. My legs, chest, and back respond so well to everything, but these dang shoulders and arms don't lmao.

I'm going to test working out 5 times a week instead of my usual 4 and mess around with rep ranges and sets. Hopefully my arms and shoulders will respond better to being hit every 5 days.

I'd eat that shit like an Arbys cheddar melt.

I actually ordered some industrial sized washers to use as fractional plate. Altogether they weigh 2.5 lbs, so I'm able to go up that much on OHP, Bench, and Barbell Row

What about your chest day? Don't any of your exercises from that also work your shoulders?

>over 2 months of bulk left
>already stronger than I was at the start of my cut

It's nice having nothing to do all summer except lift.

>tfw finally benching 1pl8
Progress, I guess?
