Not hating but I'd say its nearly impossible for anybody to gain 20lb of muscle in a 4 month period, your history of training for 5 years makes it even less likely. How are you calculating your gain in muscle? Happy to see that you're progressing in your lifts .

so tired bruh how much do yall sleep

8 minimum

can't put in all that work in the gym to have muscle growth wasted :word:

I got training at 5am

Can’t do 9pm sleep but I’ll try and push it earlier

you'll feel so much better man

more sleep will lead to better workouts and better workouts should improve your sleep

doing a ~200-250 caloric surplus this time around in the gym for a leaner approach. my waist isn't expanding so much that I have to buy all new clothes within 4 weeks, feeling good

7 is the perfect amount for me these days tbh

a little bit, I’ve definitely lost a bit of definition in my abs but mostly my upper body has filled out a bit more and my legs are a little bigger

shouldn’t have said just muscle there’s def some fat there, but I do know I’m very noticeably stronger in all my lifts, have gained 20 lbs since June, and my chest, shoulders, arms etc look bigger.

my bench stronger than my squat rn

5x5 squats have been a movie lately though

tbh my body aesthetics looks exactly like I want it to and I could just enter maintenance but f*** it I'mma go all in

5 month break

muscle memory got my bench strength back much quicker than my legs' strength

should be just a matter of weeks before it gets back to normal tho

it should always be deadlift more tghen squat or the same but bench lol, for ppl working at home how much sets yu doing with weights and how much u got lifting

1RM bench rn is 209lbs, 1RM squat 198lbs

It really isn't a matter of sets or anything it's just muscle memory doing its thing and I'm really not surprised. My legs were my weakest point and it took me deadass twice as long as other muscle groups to finally have good development and when I took a break they were the first to go and I literally kept zero muscle on my legs contrary to my upper body so I had to start from scratch again

but to answer your questions I'm hitting em twice a week, one strength day 5x5 and one hypertrophy day low weight heavy reps. same goes for benching days

Finally gained my weight to 150

Tryna shoot for 160 then cut down my BF

dont just do squats do this to

how tall r u im 185 and 5'7 if i cut ill look like a twig lol

5'9

My arms and calves looking small now

I don't, squats is the main movements

I do plenty of accessory works it's just got weak legs genetics tbh.

follow that page up there he has good arm bicep videos and legs

na i hear i haad problems squatting deep at two plates before

Used to watch his videos often 2 years back, I'll give it a watch later today
