I've worked out 4-5x/week for almost 3 years now, eating 2.5lbs of chicken and eggs almost every day in addition to normal meals, and sleeping 8hrs/night, yet I'm still a weak skinny fuck who can only bench 155. How do i overcome this (i'm not gonna roid). People keep saying they can reach 225 natty in under 3 months.
You don't train to failure>t. 3pl for reps bencher
>>76790856I do. I always do 2 sets of 11 reps, 1 set of the heaviest weight i can do even a single rep of to failure, and then that amount minus 10lbs also to failure.
>>76790856>>76790873(so 4sets total)I'm always sore for multiple days after from pushing myself so hard
>>76790881>>76790873Do a 2-3 reps for 5 sets on one day. Start as heavy as possible for 2 reps and then do reverse pyramid. If you could do 3 reps on the first heaviest set, increase the weight by ~5lbs next week.Another day do 5 reps for 3 sets with 85% of your 1RM.Make sure there're 2-3 days between bench days.
>>76790848I don't believe you.
>>76790930I see. Will try this
>>76790943What the fuck do you mean you don't believe me. I'm a lanky skinny fuck who could barely do 75lbs starting out and slowly worked my way up to 155 over the course of almost 3 years. What about that is unbelievable.
>>76790949Maybe check to see if you have a functioning set of testicles because a woman could beat that
You need to increase mass intake to increase your mass, you're clearly not doing that. Eat more.
>>76790848If you're still skinny you're simply not eating enough. That's it. If you're not gaining at least some fat, you won't be gaining a substantial amount of muscle.
>>76790954I come like 2-3x a day. They definitely work fine. Also i can barbell curl 120lbs and squat 300. I just have a really weak chest.
>>76790961>>76790962Ok. Should i track calories or something?
>>76790972Yes. This is the most basic advice ever.
>>76790979Fuckin i go to the gym and i lift heavy man
>>76790848because you are lyingwhat a faggot
>>76790964>3x a day>where are my gainz?
>>76790848>People keep saying they can reach 225 natty in under 3 months.that's just unrealistic, especially for someone starting out with untrained chest.
>>76790981Your body can't magically get bigger without you giving it the building blocks to put the muscle on dumby. Count calories and make a concerted effort to gain weight, do not waver.
