Am I doing something wrong?

I read that if you're doing things correctly you should be able to put on 5lbs on your main lifts (bench, squat, deadlift) every week but I seem to be adding 5lbs every 3-4 weeks. On bench for example I did 125x8 3 weeks ago but now I can just manage 125x11 so I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. I have been lifting for a month and I'm 5'6 137 bw. Currently bulking and I do an Arnold split. As for intensity I think I'm ok there because I go to failure on bench every time.

      Thats a women fricktard. Biological women, I swear you guys can't tell the difference anymore.
      If she WAS a troony she'd be in the top 0.001% and would probably be fricking the most attractive troony chaser he could find, or, he would be banging chics since 95% of the time trannies are just straight dudes on hormones.

    Lifting has detrimental returns.
    The heavier you lift, the more heavy that extra 5lbs is going to feel.
    Going from 20kg to 25kg is a 25% increase but won't feel that heavy because the overall weight amount isn't that high
    Going from 200kg to 205kg is only a 2.5% increase but that 2.5% will be a lot heavier because you're up at 200kg+

      He’s far from that point in his progression. His progress should be linear for 6+ months assuming he’s lifting, eating, and sleeping correctly.

    Get stronger. Eat more protein. Squat more. Stop jerking off. Get a gf. Randomly pump out 20 push ups whenever you can.

      This is like trying to increase gains on the pull up by performing the lat pulldown. The strength doesn't transfer over that well.

        It’s inefficient if your goal is to be a muh numbers autist, but the gains from frequent exertion outweigh the inefficiency. Being able to throw your own bodyweight around at a moment’s notice is a valuable skill and contributes to more well rounded strength.

    In the beginner strength programs where you’re supposed to be increasing weight every workout, You’re supposed to be lifting in sets of 5 reps. If you finish the 3-5 sets of 5 reps, you increase the weight by 5lbs. You’re just doing seemingly as many reps as possible, which is a different kind of lifting altogether and you won’t go up in reps and weight at the same time. Also, you’re small. Eat more.

    You are moronic. You can put on 5 lbs a week for your noob period but that tapers off after a while. I had to run a 6 week program to get my squat over 4 pl8 from being just under it before. If you can hit 125 for 11 I'd imagine your max is around 185 to 200. Try going for a 1rm, and then going down and obliterating your chest with higher reps and other bodybuilding exercises. Eat a lot, do another lighter chest day during the week, and try for a new 1rm next week. Once that stops working, you'll have to try going on a program to get it up. Lots of people have to start training different when they approach 2 pl8 on bench, but if you have decent genes you can get up to it and a little past just by fricking around in that way, but eventually linear progress stops for all of us.

    These 5lb weekly jumps are usually in the context of 5 rep sets. If you add 5lb to an 8 or 10 or 12 rep set it's a bigger deal since it indicates an even higher max (adding 5lb to your 60rm is bigger than adding 5lb to your 85rm). Hope this makes sense.

    Also if you weigh 137 & are benching 125 for 11 in only a few weeks lifting, that's actually really good. You're short & light so your lifts will be a little lower in number, but more notable when bodyweight is accounted for. A 1.5X bodyweight bench for just one rep is basically the natural limit for an 'average' dude, (gifted people can go higher) & if you turned your 11RM from 125 to 150, (calculates to 205lb), you'd be hitting 1.5X bodyweight. I think you're capable of even more than 1.5X bodyweight, but I also think you're not capable of it in 5 weeks time.
