Are these fairly decent gains? I have no idea, so I thought I'd ask.
yeh theyre alright, pretty standard just keep going and add in accessories to prevent muscular imbalances.
I started lifting again one month ago too. I'm also 6'2". I started everything from the bare minimum in SL because I've just recovered from a broken arm I had for an entire year and I have a knee ligament replacement. Haven't weighed myself since but I started 178.
>squats 45 to 110 lbs
>OHP 45 to 75
>BP 45 to 80 (painfully easy and slow progress but with a plate in my arm I'm taking it slow
>Row 65 to 90
>DL 95 to 155
Your progress is similar to mine except you started higher on the lifts. The numbers are still in the novice range but I'm sure you are seeing small progress in your body and you keep adding weight. It's definitely a good start. 3500 calories seems like a lot depending on your body type and if you are interested in adding lean muscle or just mass in general. But if it is working for you and you feel good you might as well continue.
I'm 1.5 month on SL5x5 and these are mine:
@ 5'11 / 220lbs
Squat: 143lbs to 198lbs
Bench press: 93lbs to 126lbs
OHP: 71lbs to 99lbs
Deadlift: 143lbs to 198lbs
Almost a month of SL 5x5 here. Units in lbs.
Squat 45 -> 100
Bench 95 -> 115
Barbell Row 85 -> 105
OHP 65 -> 80
Deadlift 115 -> 155
>lifting for a month
>still nowhere close to 1/2/3/4
Is this bait?
What's bait? That in 1 month you'll reach 1/2/3/4? Probably. It takes usually 6 months.
>6 months
>for 1/2/3/4
Now I know this is bait
too long?
If you start with the minimum weights from the program that's what it usually takes.
> add in accessories
What do you mean by this?
You're eating too much. 8 lbs a month is stupid weight gain. Aim for 2-3 lbs a month. Any more is just fat.
Pull ups, dips, ab work, bands, etc.
this is the bait you idiots
What do you mean by ab work and bands?
To talk noob gains, after a period of basically a year:
> Weight: 135lbs to 150lbs
> OHP: 50lbs to 90lbs
> Bench: 85lbs to 155lbs
> Squat: 100lbs to 170lbs
> Deadlift: 90lbs to 225lbs
I think I'm lagging on my progression of my squats and deadlifts, but that's since i haven't really hit those. I was also at 155lbs in weight, but did a cut in the last two months due to being forced to eat a liquid diet due to getting my wisdom teeth pulled on both sides of my mouth. My target weight is about 155-160 by the end of this year.
If you can't Squat your body weight you don't deserve 3,500000 calories you fat fuck.
A month? check in again after a year

You're right at the cusp of "strength of someone who'se trained for a few months", so given your 1 month of lifting that's about right.
