This is me after 3.5 years of lifting, can't even bench 2pl8 >5'11 >157 lb >do PPLx >weigh every bite i eat Starting to believe my body is immune to weight training, eat minimum of 2g of protein per bw in kg, ~140g for me, every bulk I have done I've just got way too much fat and maybe 5 kg to my lifts in like 8 months.
In the gym I always struggle to get my sets done so I guess I work hard enough but the weights feel just as heavy every time I go there.
Can this be because I started as a 15 year old 100 lb skelly and in comparison to that I have come a long way?
Can it be that for some reason as an 18 year old I'm still not in my prime for muscular development and I'm about to blow up later?
Most of the time I don't give a fuck about my slow progress but now and then it makes me want to hop on gear so bad.
looking good youngfriend.your body is literally what young women want.dont let the fat trolls on this board convince you otherwise.you could maybe gain 3 kg of muscle in this bodyfat % if you keep working out for a couple of years.
Gabriel Long
You add very little to your lifts because you stop the second your joints starts aching, or you take a few extra days off and keep eating.
Aaron Stewart
He is bending backwards at a weird angle to even be able to show his abs. Is he going to walk around bending backwards whenever he has his shirt off with a girl?
Anthony Campbell
Honestly user, you look pretty damn A E S T H E T I C... But that aside, you might need to work on you your bench press form... I know a lot of guys just bench with a flat back with their shoulders rolled forward. youtube.com/watch?v=BYKScL2sgCs Also, what are your other lifts?

go away moot

I am about 160lbs and 6ft 2 and look not far off you OP. Can confirm. I can bench 20kg on each side but can only get 3 reps maybe. I currently do around 17.5kg on each side 4 sets of 8
Brody Wood
You look good, but this isn't what's being discussed here. You're likely not eating enough calories, that doesn't mean "bulking" as in being a fat fuck, just try to eat some more besides all the protein. Maybe your intensity isn't right, in that case stop being a bitch and/or take two big cups of coffe or a SIP before going to the gym.
Hunter Turner
eat more and get on a proper program
2pl8 after 3.5 years is garbage, that is managable within a year max, and so is your body
Camden Gray
If I had to guess I'd say you probably concerned yourself too much with staying lean and stopped yourself from progressing in strength very much. You don't have to bulk like a madman, but just eating a bigger surplus will help.
Evan Garcia
what are your lift stats?
Also, just cus youre getting enough protein doesnt mean your diet and routine arent shit.
Justin Gomez
Basically, you aren't eating enough. I can tell from how lean you are. After working out eat some pasta and drink a protein shake..
Cameron Perry
Too young to hop on gear. You've gained 57lbs in almost 4 years with little actual gains in muscle mass because you dont eat enough. Muscles will not grow if you don't eat more. As much of a meme as it is, buy some mass gainer (shout out to piano man) and drink it every day with your normal meals. Try a more strenuous lifting routine because your PPL routine is obviously shit and at 18 you probably don't know shit about developing your own routine and what exercises compliment each other.
Gavin Hill
>mass gainer just blend sugar flour eggs and peanut butter with milk and whatever other shit you want
Mason Nguyen
how has your sets/reps schemes changed over time.
what is your current program.
do you change it up every 4 to 6 months. do you utilize periodization.
Jacob Davis
why are you posing like that in a pathetic attempt to display "abs"
Joseph King
ppl is trash that's why
Colton Collins
Sounds like you haven't discovered the world of maltodextrin. A lot easier and cheaper to mix maltodextrin, whey, and milk than a bunch of groceries.
Joshua Cruz
Start roiding

6'3 180. I've been lifting for 5 months and just hit 225 for 1 rep today. I bench 4x week and increasing reps helped a lot.
Ryan Cox
>Not doing the Chad Walk⢠in tiny beetle-like strides in constant contrapposto
Brody Reed
>benching 4x a week
Sheesh
Luke Jones
What about it? Was benching everyday until I reached 165. (started at 110). Rest days r gay
Carter Wilson
Are you me?
Elijah Hill
man u need to eat more. but anyway mirin ur body, really its a very nice otter.
Jayden Turner
>tfw same boat as you except I can bench 2pl8 for 2 reps and eat ~80g protein a day
Looks like you're just gay.
Ryan Myers
Maybe stop doing a retarded fucking meme routine? lmao
u can't bench 225 cus you're doing a fucking meme idiotic routine that sucks dick. Do a legit routine and bench 225 easily within a year.
Jason Reyes
'11 lb
Well that's yer fuckin problem right there
Josiah Carter
how many calories do u eat a day? if u weigh every bite u must know
Jaxon Morris
what's a good routine then
Jacob Reyes
Nsun's 5/3/1 4 or 5 day is MUCH better.
Jose Morales
This. +2000kcal is the START of a serious bulk.
Sebastian Campbell
Increase intensity by a shitton on chest day then. No reason in the world you shouldn't be able to 1 rep 2 plates.
Asher Davis
>no chest hair you might as well resign yourself to faggotry
Wyatt Nguyen
This pick is after a 3 week minicut I had out of frustration for not making gains in a long time. Was my third cut ever so I don't cut my gains away all the time.
When bulking I eat 3100 cals a day, 200-300 surplus.
Routine is Coolcicadas PPL.
Other lifts are just below the babby's first milestones also.
Kevin Walker
Okay now bro
Charles Thompson
To display abs desu
Camden Scott
It's called being natty, dipshit.
Jace Ortiz
>eigh every bite i eat so you don't eat enough, cool
