Who here has hit 1/2/3/4?

How long have you been lifting?

How long did it take you to get to 1/2/3/4 if you answered yes to the first question?

Took me a year. I was only bulking for half that time. If it takes you longer than 6-12 mo caloric surplus you have garbage tier genetics and need to get on TRT

Hit 1/2/3/4 when I was 17 in highschool and it took me about 15 months of lifting hard. Soon after I got to that point I slipped a disc in my back and havent squatted or deadlifted since. Right now I do 145 OHP 5x5 and 205 for 4x10 on bench. Im 5'9 185 for reference.

i hit 4/3/2/1 in like 6 months, but then between school and fiddling farting around, trying different programs wasted like a solid year of no gains.

Then i went on TM and was repping 4/3/2/1 in like 3 months

I've been lifting for four years and I still haven't hit it. I didn't learn about progressive overload until last year.

Yes, been lifting 2 and a half years.
Hit 1 and 2 seriously like 6 months into lifting for 1RM.
Currently OHP 155x5 and Bench 270x5
With that being said my squat and DL suck. Have insanely poor flexibiliy and continually aggreviate my back. I am finally starting to work on flexibiliy. Can squat 315x2 and DL 405x1. Hopefully when i become more flexible my lifts will go up.

1 year. Squat was the one that took the longest. OHP was first and took 6 months.

Took me exactly 9 months.

Had 5 years of kalisthenics / bb under my belt at this point but it was my first time doing compound lifts because I had never joined a gym before.

I haven't hit it yet but it's a goal I'm working toward.

I fell for lots of bro science before finding good exercise programs and logic, partly thanks to Veeky Forums

my OHP has hit 1 plate though, which does feel fantastic.

2 years

at which point I had

1.25/2/3.5/5

bench held me back the longest
