not OP but what? chicken legs implies he has super skinny frail legs
I’m one of those people that are genetically built with skinny ass legs and arms and all fat going to belly. I’m doing the best I can.

Started lifting 3 weeks ago, i haven't entirely tested my upper limits because I don't want to injure myself.
6'0, 180 lbs, been lifting for like 5 weeks now
Squat - 250
OHP - 135
Bench - 190
I don't DL
these are all for 5x5, I don't 1RM
that is not your OHP 5x5. You are almost definitely push pressing and calling it OHP.
I looked up push pressing and no that's not what I'm doing, I'm doing it standing in the same position with my core braced and pushing the bar up
Because while OHP is (seriously) the easiest of the lifts to hit for 1/2/3/4 it's fairly atypical to hit it in a little over a month, especially for 5 sets of 5.
you really should appraise what you're doing and make sure you're really doing the press properly. And if it all checks out, give yourself a pat on the back, man. It's impressive.
I’m pretty sure I’m doing it properly, but I’ll double check next time. I started at like 105x5 and just added 5 lbs every week.
I'm not saying you're not, necessarily. We all come from different backgrounds that affect what it looks like when we start out training. It could be for example that you had a job where you regularly had to push heavy objects overhead, so of course your OHP would be good when you start training.
I guess if you're confident in your legs not being used to push pay attention to back angle and lockout. Film yourself doing a set and review it yourself (you don't have to post it here) to see if there's anything that doesn't look right.
>thinks a 180lb man new to lifting can’t do 135 for 5 sets of 5
Why not?
First week of lifting. Did 2 days of SS, I also did MMA 3 times this week so I had to deal with recovery. 183cm, 115kg.
Just my working sets, not 1RM
Squat - 75kg ( Squat really scares me due to balance issues )
Deadlift - 90KG ( very easy, will add 10 more kg next time )
Bench - 50KG ( somewhat easy, will add 5 to 10kg next time )
OHP: 40KG ( can probably add 5 KG )

Squat - 275
Deadlift 375

Been lifting for an embarrassing amount of time to only have these stats. Something like 7 years, with 3 years of legitimate regimented routines and good diet
nothing embarassing about consistent lifting.
I started going back to the gym a few months ago after a multiple years long hiatus, doing 3x5 stuff (I'd do 5x5 but that takes too fucking long). I'm not using freedom weight units.
5'9 95kg
Squat - 107.5kg

Squat 220kg (set of 5)
Bench 105 (set of 3)
Ohp 70 (set of 4)
Deadlift 160 (set of 4. Bad grip)
I do PPL as it ties well into the 65 min I do in the mornings before I make breakfast for my kids. Occasionally I bring my oldest with me at 0500. I teach them basic form and cardio on the bag. Mainly to show them that physical excercise is a natural part of everyday life and bring them into my interest.
Be at peace and keep improving.
How the fuck is your squat so big and all your lifts so shit?
Today I 1rm squat at 140kg (bragging rights I can squat 3 plates) but all my other lifts are way bigger than yours.
Genetic differences is something I'll always be insecure about. I hate seeing people with a lift bigger than mine BY A LOT. Today that 140kg 1 rep max felt crushing, I legit felt like I was going to fucking die.
Height 193cm
Weight 103kg
He may be a cyclist. I know when I first started lifting I had been cycling daily for like 5 years and I could squat 135 for 10 and only bench press like 85 for 8 at a body weight of 135
A 140 kg squat is nothing to brag about, especially if you weigh over 100 kg. Your squat is more shit than his other lifts are shit compared to his squat. At 100 kg, decent squats begin at 230 kg.

Took some time off of lifting heavy to get a 5k done, hit that goal and started trying to push maxes. I have my last peak of the year this week, going for 315 squat but probably won't attempt any PRs on the others as I haven't really felt that feel you get when you just KNOW you are about to blast a PR out.

On the off chance this isn't bait:
You haven't started yet if you don't do deadlifts, squats, and OHP
Fuck off, you can keep squatting till your ass is massive and deadlift till your lower spine is fucked and OHP press till your shoulder joint is torn I’m happy building an aesthetic body without risking permanent injury using machine and isolation workouts.
confirmed for not lifting

You have no idea how the shoulder works.

Not really ideal at all, my weight has remained a constant (give or take) 180lbs and that's not for lack of trying to gain a pound. "Eat more" is always simply until you get around to eating more.
Bench is *hard* stuck. I nearly guillotined myself coming back from a break and now I'm worried I'm not stopping my sets despite probably being able to finish the reps, but still being unwilling to try.

i'd like to see the form on some of you guys saying you can squat 3pl8 and deadlift 4pl8 within 6 months of lifting
that's not really unbelieavable dude. a lot of guys can squat 2pl8 out of the gate and if you're adding 5 lbs each week you'd get to 3 pl8 in in like 5 months
i remember getting shit on as a liar for saying i squatted 275 after 6 months of training
You got trolled son. Or they thought you meant kgs because they are stupid europoors
I squatted 4pl8 x 5 on SS after 7-8 months, but I never bring it up anymore because I just get LARPING homosexual
If you literally just do the math of squatting 3x a week and adding 5 lbs each time, it's easy to see it's very possible.
you were getting trolled or just attacked by some retarded dyel
tons of retards think squat going up fast is impossible but you'll see its fairly common. like others said, either trolls or peope who dont even lift
squat and deadlift are very compound lifts. if you're bulking they go up really easy
3pl8 is easy to achieve within 6 months for the squat. 4pl8 deadlift is hard imo.
retard dyel that doesn't understand linear progression, stress/adaptation, or eating more than 300 calories above maintenance detected

Bench: 3 x 8 x 90 ( 3 x 10 then increase weight by 5)
Leg press: 3 x 9 x 300. About 45 degress so about 210 actual weight. Increase by 10 next time
My back is really weak from having had a desk job for the past 5 years
>My back is really weak from having had a desk job for the past 5 years
Which should now be irrelevant because you've been lifting for 6 months and the stress-adaptation cycle at your level is sufficiently short. You're just stupid and don't know how to train nor eat.
Idk man not that anon but, I feel like back strength is either something you got or you don’t. All my lifts are progressing well except my deadlift. My tailbone always hurts like a bitch and I get poor recovery from it.
>I feel like back strength is either something you got or you don’t.
Correct. And if you don't have it, you can subject yourself to the right stressors and recovery environment to obtain it.
Neurological adaptions != physiological adaptions
Neurological adaptions are physiological you absolute moron and they're part of the response to the same stressors as what you think of as "physiological".
SwoleShack be like
>yeah ive been going to the gym for two weeks and am now repping 400 on the bench, 800 for squats and 8 plates for deadlifts, its totally normal and everyone else is a dyel LULZ

Soon I'll have the 4pl8 squat and then I can finally cut in peace.
how do you program your bench and ohp?
Honestly when I did my 2pl8 OHP I hadn't really practiced it at all. I focused more on bench but more importantly incline bench! Incline bench is very shoulder demanding and in practice you're doing the Olympic press, only seated.
Other things I've done is to do seated barbell OHP, easier to overload. But the actual lift itself I have done minimal volume of. Get a lifting belt and use it for the lift, it helps a ton, and if it's allowed for squats and deads, why not ohp?
For bench the secret is basically doing all of your reps paused and progressing in more difficult variants like close grip. In fact I kinda think close grip should be the default training grip. But it also depends on your weaknesses
is close grip considered the same grip you'd use for dips and ohp? i feel my bench is strongest at this little over shoulder width grip
It is usually about OHP grip, maybe a hair wider. Really, it's the closest grip you can without flaring your elbows at the bottom position. If that's a little over shoulder width, then that's what it is. If you can get closer, do it, since the point isn't really to take the strongest grip possible. If it were, you'd just be doing a regular bench press instead.
What
said
But yeah close grip isn't mandatory, but as a rule of thumb whenever you progress in a more difficult variant or accessory your strongest grip/position/variant will go up as well.
If you want just strength gains then pause bench is king. Touch t-shirt, hover for a three count, then up.
I suggest doing 4-5 sets of 5, typical powerlifter stuff.
Another very easy thing to do is to just add reps to your 8 rep max. So make it a 9 rep max, and keep grinding this until you get 12. Then you progress the weight by about 12 lbs and repeat. This is a lot easier and more fun imo, You WILL get stronger and more jacked.
All in all what works for almost all lifts are:
Pausing reps, increasing reps, increasing sets or bringing a more difficult variant up to par.
If nothing works then more calories are foolproof
Personally I prefer close grip as a first accessory when diagnosing a bench problem, because if a guy has no literally no idea what the problem is it's probably the triceps and if it wasn't well hey they at least good some good tricep and stabiliser work out of the deal. Good carryover to the press, even if that wasn't actually the point.
Small thing, pausing is still the best bench-specific thing to do, as you've said.
How is your deadlift soooo close to your squat?
Usually the deadlift should dwarf the squat
My back is weak as fuck. Im one of those office worker types that gets homes and plays video games, repeat.
