I have literally no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm 150lbs. now (I'm short) And I'm eating 1500 Cal. a day to try and lose the fat I gained so I can try again with a different routine. What did I do wrong? No sugary shit, no soda, no chips, cakes only on my birthday, chicken and protein powder is most of what I ate. Help me bros

>he fell for the ss meme
William Myers
What was your protein intake daily?
When I first started lifting I did ss for like 3-4months. When I hit that 1plate range. I switch to 5x5 madcow.
You're skinny you're beginner gains will be minimal. You need more volume.
Christian Morris
Do 10 reps with weight you can handle then up the weight and do 8 reps but try to get to 10. Thats how i got most of my gains
Aiden Mitchell
keep lifting i lifted for a year before i looked like i lifted to people who didn't know me

>You're skinny I'm 5'6. 150 isn't skinny for me.
I can bench 1 45lbs plate and squat 180
Luis Anderson
Why did you eat 300-500 above main without actually tracking everything?
I ate 200 kcal above main, tracked everything, only eat a tiny bit more if I didnt gain some weight. Lift on a strength mixed with hypertrophy routine and gained lean mass.
Your routine doesnt mean shit if your diet isnt great. You need to track everything and take it very slow during a bulk, bulking right is harder than cutting.
SS is a meme, PPL is what you should have done

Charles Hernandez
I tracked Cal and protein
Parker Wilson
You weren't eating enough. 1500 calories isn't BMR for someone your size. If you're trying to gain a pound a week you should have been eating twice that. The second your body got any food in it, the food was stored as fat. Eat literally twice as much, lift 3 times a week, and you'll be fine.

Aaron Powell
Which PPL?
Colton Carter
Well you fell for a meme routine.. Forget about strength. If you cant add weight add reps every workout. Do drop sets you WILL get stronger this way
Andrew Barnes
>i got on a sus 250 cycle 2ml a week for 10 weeks and put on 5kg and only half way through the cycle I have no idea what that means
Liam Jones
No, you misunderstood, I was eating 2500 Cal. Now I'm fat. I changed to 1500 to cut away the fat.
Adrian Moore
How will dropsets help me? What routine should I do it with?
Cameron Richardson
sustanon 250 (steroid synthetic testosterone) 2ml injected per week. 10 week cycle so 10 injections and i am at week 5 now having gained 5kg of muscle in 5 weeks
