Nah I am.

Might up the bench numbers tho cause that shyt is TOO easy still and I’m a ways in.

My bench numbers kinda light right now too. What i do to compensate for that is take 5 secs to bring the bar down and 5 secs to bring the bar up

120 lb squat, 75 lb bench, 95 lb row

Week 19 complete

Went 5x5 @ 315 on squats
5/5/5/4/4 @ 240 on bench
5x5 at 135 on Barbell row

pretty sure fukked up by taking 2 seperate preworkouts by accident for a total of 600mg of caffiene.

felt like fainting the whole way through when usually I only feel like that during a new squat PR or a very bad day sleep/recovery wise.

You noticed a big change in your physique from when you first started to now ?

Honestly not drastic changes but more size and definition in my shoulders/back/chest. Arms got a little bigger with more definition, forearms surprisingly showed a lot of growth.

But I'm 6'7 so I imagine smaller people see more dramatic changes.

Just started last Monday and through my 3rd exercise today. Next up is 90 SQ 60 OHP and 140 DL.

I was going to the gym pretty consistently cutting for the past couple of months got down to about 170 but made no strength gains. But now I'm bulking and eating 260 g of protein a day 2700-3000 calories a day but I feel myself getting fatter by the day brehs. Don't want to lose all the progress I've made

Where did the 2,700-3,000 cal figure come from?

Where did the 2,700-3,000 cal figure come from?

It's about 300 or so calories above my maintenance level which will allow me to gain half a pound a week.

Which is reasonable

Why do you have feel “fatter”?

Got off work late today, missed the gym smh

Did a modified version of this program a couple years back with a lot more volume. Best gains of my life but the shyt was extremely grueling. Made me hate going to the gym. Especially on PR days

shyt was soul crushing

My leg and back development was crazy.
