      Increase daily caloric intake and train consistently

      i'm being consistent and my other lifts are going up, but this shit is just killing me

      i guess i never had any upper body strength so it's harder to make, but hell

        If you’re confident that you’re eating and sleeping enough, switch to seated dumbbells for a few weeks. You probably need to target your triceps better.
        Also, your work capacity might suck. If dumbbells don’t help you, deload, and do more reps.
        If both of these fail, you might want to switch to an intermediate program with some periodization.

        Try double progression if you don't feel like deloading. People usually do it after newbie gains are gone, but it's a good troubleshooting tool for strength training regardless

      lower the weigths to where you have control and good form then do more reps.

      Bench: 70kg 5x3
      OHP: 41kg 5x3
      Deadlift: 100kg 5x3
      Bent over row: 82.5kg 5x3
      Zercher: 80kg 5x3

      Should I rope?

      is this you OP?

          Newbie question but are you guys counting the bar onto the weight?

          • 2 years ago
            Anonymous

            no, the bar doesn't count
            you can't perform the lift without the bar, do you count the weight of your arms?

          • 2 years ago
            Anonymous

            Always. The bar is 20kg and is included in the weight quoted. The other guy is trolling you

      Why is your bench so weak?

      • 2 years ago
        Anonymous

        Everything’s pretty weak except my row I think, but to be fair I haven’t been doing bench for as long as my other lifts. I started bench like 7 months ago and have had to take brakes due to wrist pain

    I've been struggling to increase my bench. Got to 70kg about three months ago, could barely do 5 reps. Tried going back and forth to 80kg, some workouts could do a full set (5 reps), some workouts I had my triceps fail on me and had to ask for gym jannies to bail me out. No deficit in nutrition/rest, but those times I did the full sets were always at the limit, always nearly failing. The number of reps I could do on 70kg obviously increased, I think I can do 7 or 8 now

    Yesterday I benched 75kg, same shit, 5 reps, always to the limit, yesterday nearly failed again, shit was amazing and I was dizzy when I got up. So what's best for increasing strength, these kinds of workouts where you go to the limit, high weight, or lowering the weight a little and doing higher reps? Powershitters all say the former, but hasnt my strength gains been a little slow if I can only bench 5kg more (thats total by the way not per side, im using the kid platelets) after 3 months?

      How many sets do you usually do?

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      i could post the pubmed links but im high off my ass and too lazy to actually do so
      if youre willing to believe me then

      >1-2 reps before full failure is the goldilock zone
      >goldilock zone should be ahieved by each muscle around 6-15 times a week depending on experience

      Basically getting your muscles to that zone is supposedly not only enough to cause damage to muscle fibers and trigger growth,

      This is assuming your macros are on point and youre currently in a good caloric enviroment for growth in terms of calories, carbs and protein.

      This is what will trigger growth.

      Now heres some extra details becaue we do have different types of muscle fibers in our muscles and each need to be targeted slightly differently.

      I dont remember too much and you can probably google for a better explanation but one is an explosive type while the other is more made for endurance.

      Therefore i always do a couple heavy sets to almost failure before i do one or 2 of the last set on whatever leg exercise im doing on a lighter weight with more reps, also to the goldilock zone.

    Work the ohp with dumbbells and make sure that both arms are following the same path. A big reason people are weak in the ohp are because of poor mechanics.
