I squatted 50kg for 5x5 today.

I quit barbell bench too because I stagnated completely. Right now my best db bench is 82.67lbs per hand for 5. Trying to get that number to 8 and then I move up, but I started slacking so now i'm back to 77.16 dumbbells x 6-8.

How long have you been at it?

Been doing dumbells only 3 months.

Good job on the numbers, When i read the post I expected you to be someone who fell for the stronglifts meme routine and made no progress

I actually did waste a lot of time not making progress but mostly because I kept getting scared of bloatcelling lol and then I did bloatcell but I went way too autistic about it so I had to cut and wasted more time again. Now i'm going to keep bulking until I can do 1/2/3/4/ for reps

this is me at 76kg/ 167.5lbs btw. This was a while ago so i've gotten stronger since but that's probably when I looked my best for some reason:

This was me at 87kg when I bloatcoped and added nothing but fat:

Right now i'm back at around 79kg and will be doing a slow bulk until i'm like 95kg/ 210lbs so I can ascend from twinkceldom.

Mogs me

I wasted a year and some months. First year i program hopped all the time made minimal gains, second few months I made gains but they were crappy through stronglifts powercoping, till I quit that

Yeah I get that. If I actually trained properly from the start i'd be an absolute beast now but it is what it is. I'm going to go monk mode for a year or so and just eat and lift.

Literally me 2025. I’m sticking with one routine, bulking, lifting. My swole friend does mostly same routine except for back days so that’s perfect. good luck

6 years for 50kgs is fucking brutal. I squatted 190 pounds before I stopped, 5x5 I was strengthcoping like you. Now i leg press 5 plates and a half for sets of 10.

And i’m no good looking fella. I’m out of shape by all standards, still working on physique.

he's obviously not serious

i did SS for 3 months and quit at 320lbs for 3 sets of 5 on squat and hit 380 for a single. however, i started at like 225 (had already been lifting before this)

so you think squatting 5x5 is good ?
I move up quicker than doing reps of 10 and shit. It also just feels good to load up more weight on the bar. I don't care about my legs being aesthetic, I just want them strong.

No, I think 3 sets of 5 is better for beginners. Also, if your squat is really only 50kg after 6 years then you're doing something wrong.
