>be me >6'4" 185lbs >inb4 eat more, I'm trying senpai >Started working out regularly almost a year ago >at least 4 times a week
In that time I've only gotten to 85lb ohp 5x3 115lb bench 5x2 135lb squat 5x3 185 deadlift 5x5
Is this just shit genetics or height related? I know diet is part of it, I'm doing my best with my budget and no way of cooking.
Nathan Bailey
The answer is to literally eat more. Try harder.
Jayden Bailey
May be some shitty genetics at play, i could do 220 deadlift the first time i ever tried doing it, it was my starting weight
Julian Nguyen
>be me >16 year old 170lb 6'3" lanklet >pull 405 in a few months
i think you're just a slow gainer, OP
Grayson Williams
Yeah I deadlift 231 pounds for sets (105kg) and have done 100kg after only 2.5 months of training. I'm naturally very skinny and not particularly strong lel.
Wyatt Fisher
If you start with the bar and add ONLY 10lbs a month, you should be able to bench 165 for reps. in a year. How is you max approximately 1 plate?
Wyatt Richardson
There's no way your stats are that shitty from working out "regularly" for a year.
I had never done sports or any physical activity in my life yet it took less than a month to get to 225 deadlift.
Nolan Hughes
I'll usually start with 185 and increase until my last two sets are 225. It doesn't feel to be improving though.
Should I try a PPL routine? Any other program besides SS or SL?
Brandon Martinez
You were fat and had shit form if you could do that.
Isaiah Ross
5x2 5x3 5x5
There's your problem user. You dont know shit about routines, sets and rep ranges.
Mason Young
And this. You're a lying faggot OP. You have been cheating on your workouts a shitton and you don't push yourself at all. Quit trying to throw yourself a pity party if you're not dedicated to begin with.
Daniel Barnes
That not my routine, just my maxes 5x5 lifts are 75 ohp 105 bench 115 squat 185 deadlift
Sorry, should've said it that way
Austin Lewis
Do SS if you want faster improvement for your deadlifts
James Rodriguez
I wouldn't say I'm cheating since I push myself to failure but if you say so, what do?
Noah Gray
there are slow gainers regardless of height.
I am but I am also 6'5. It comes down to genetics pretty quickly, especially if you can't afford to cook for yourself.
Leo Gonzalez
Hey op dont listen to the eat clean morons. Most lanklets will never be able to eat enough chicken breast and brown rice to get big. Eat your healthy good stuff but then eat some milkshakes and peanut butter and cheeseburgers too
Chase Green
If I could, I would count calories but my college's dining halls don't provide any nutritional info. I'm trying to focus on eating more even if I feel full. I'll also add protein bars or shakes if my meals are very carb heavy
Aiden Ward
You sound like me when I was lifting while on drugs. The second (and I mean within two weeks after detox) of kicking opiates my lifts all doubled... blew my mind.
Stop taking drugs OP.
Jayden Howard
You're a slow gained OP I'm 6'4 just broke 200lbs
Connor Morgan
Not currently taking drugs so that's not my problem
Gonna try Coolcicada's PPL routine, see where that takes me.
James Myers
I'm 6''5 and after 3 weeks of eating and lifting im deadlifting 2 plate, squatting 75 kg and benching 50 kg
I'm skinnyfat 100kg
Daniel Adams
I was a mr.skellington so you are wrong
Wyatt Perez
If I go P, P, L, rest, P, P, L, should I being aiming for increasing weight each week? If so how much?
Jaxson Mitchell
Eat more
Gavin Hill
Why are you pushing yourself to failure, there are very few times when that's actually useful or effective and based on your numbers you are not experienced enough to know when.
Anthony Morales
My guess is still that you arent pushing yourself hard enough. I had the same problem ~1 month into lifting. After your compounds do plenty of additional exercises (i.e. don't just do bench and then go to the machine and call it a day).
If you're actually going to failure and working hard enough, and these are your lifts, you're clearly not eating enough.
Eli Long
> im a hard gainer >track calories > mfw TDEE =2k > been eating 1700-1900
Austin Stewart
>skinnyfat 100kg
Xavier Cruz
Jesus dude. I was 5'11 130 pounds soaken wet and now I'm 173 lbs. My lifts aren't anything impressive but they're higher than that. Eat more I guess?
Chase Bennett
Whew buddy Im 6'3 and i started lifting 5 months ago and my stats are Squat 225lbs 5x5 (i just recently started squatting and i started with 170lbs) Bench 225lbs 5x5 Incline bench 170lbs 3x5 And i cant deadlift till i fix my ATP
I started lifting when i was 174lbs and im 194lbs now. You're clearly doing something very wrong.
Thomas Scott
well yeah, if your taller you have more mass you need to fill out, thats going to take more time. muscle isnt built from thin air, its built from hard work and calories.
Charles Foster
>1 year >those stats :'(
Parker Hernandez
I think you must be doing something wrong. Are you not progressing? Do you ever move up the weight? If you want to get stronger you have to push yourself to failure or at least super close.
What are you eating?
What is your routine?
also you say 5x2. Do you mean 2x5? Cause 5 sets of benching 115 twice sounds silly.
Christian Ross
Eat you fookin ayy lmao

Think of it as having a much higher ceiling than the rest of the manlets. It will take a lot more work per rep, per workout, and especially per meal, but the potential end result is being a strong Golden God.
I started as a very underweight lanklet who didn't know how to eat. I was benching and squatting the bar. It's taken an embarrassingly long time lifting and figuring out how to eat to get lifts that are respectable to normies.
You should: train mobility before every workout and work on attaining an ATG squat. Since youre tall you can take advantage of the longer distance and ROM to work harder than everybody else. You should also eat 5000-5500 calories everyday, and you will gain a pound or two a week. I didn't make any progress until I started eating over 5000 calories daily.
Austin Lewis
>took me a semester of lifting to go from benching less than the bar to 65 when I was 14 >increased pretty quickly afterwards and made it to 85-110
Is this normal or am I a slowgainer?
Zachary Rodriguez
You literally just need to eat more >3 months into seriously lifting >6'2" 240 when started >95 ohp >135 bench >165 squat >205 diddly
Nathaniel Watson
It's you not eating enough related
You also probably have super small frame if you can't even deadlift 100kg
