I have been lifting for 2 years now and i am still fucking DYEL, i have been trying to progressively overload with a double progression upper/lower split, but got stuck at 1.5pl bench and 2pl squat and have made zero more progress since thenI am 190cm and like 80kgI am starting to come to terms with the reality that if i want to build muscle, i am going to have to got the steroids route
>>77282939Looking muscular at your height is very difficult because of the long limbs and torso, I am slightly taller than you and I have the same problem, the only part that looks decent on me is my chest, my arms are still looking like noodles, also don't roid retard, be happy that you're tall at least, why fuck up your life in the long term for some cool looking muscles now
Try something different. Instead of doing upper/lower just blast a part a day, even try more/less rest. Everyone is different
>>77282939You need at least 10kg more
>>77282939This is now a clairo thread
Shes perfect
Girls dont need to lift, especially clair-o
>>77282939Try accepting your limitations. In doing that, you’ll soon find your advantages.A personal example:I’ve got moderate (soon to be severe) scoliosis, tendonitis, a flat foot, a messed up MCL, and I’ve got long legs and a short torso at 6ft tall. I used to lift, especially weighted chins, but now I can barely do 3x10 pull-ups without pain.So I pivoted. I started training BJJ again, then turned to boxing, as well as steel mace training. I’m working with what I’ve got. Maybe you could use those long ass limbs of yours to start KO’ing mfers ;)Best of luck, lanky king

>>77282939Eat more, dumbass.
Clai r o
Peak clair was 6 yrs ago but i stillLove her
how much of a mentally ill tranny do you have to be to obsess over some egirl you've never met. There are women out there for you lilbro, you just have to speak to them
>>77282939have you tried eating and exercising?
>>77282939Eat 1g/pound of protein and excess calories of 200-400 faggotHonestly you sound like a bitch, roids wont fix that
>>77283041
>>77283041yea women online have massive egos, but go meet one irl and they are shy and kick their feet around and blush and shit. Same with basically any and all discourse online
>>77282939you are probably not eating enoughtry really stuffing your face for a week or two and i bet your squat and bench will increasecleanly repped out bodyweight bench is decent too despite what /fit/ wants to tell you
>>77283063Bad advice
>>77282939I'm the exact same size as you and not DYEL.Overcome your body dysphoria.
>>77283027>perfect>tatsnuke yourself
>>77284530Well i am dyel, i would need to lose about 5kg of bf and add 5kg lean tissue in a recomp to not be dyel anymore
>>77284611Then change your diet to include more lean meat and less carbs.
>>77284689I already did that, my oats over time changed from 50/50 oats and whey to more like 10/90I have about 3:1 ratio of chicken to potatoes for lunch and dinner.Zero fat greek yoghurt without fruits or added stuff for snacks.My diet is like 80% protein, 20% carbs, residual fats
I'm just like you, OP. But I'm 5'6 with long arms whos been training for 3 years, nothing seems to change now but I do believe we just gotta eat more, I'm too afraid of getting fat.
>>77284754Eating more doesn’t make you grow more muscle, all that matters is protein and testosterone
>>77284758true but i believe the whole fallacy of "you dont gotta bulk" is kind of a meme perpetrated by the fitness community, you wont go nowhere being at the same weight or cutting, the only time I was able to see significant progress was when I was stuffing my face everyday and lifting harder than next time, but being fat also sucks
>>77284747Then idk bro, maybe change your exercise routine.I don't even track what I eat, never have.
>>77284764I shouldn’t have to eat more until at least a 160kg squat and a 120kg bench, so i won’t, i guess TRT or steroids are the only options left if it won’t budge
>>77284777lol trt wont do shit, youll just castrate urself and make 0 progress, if youre goin to roid atleast do a proper cycle
>>77283029>>77283031>>77283033>>77283036>>77283040bitch looks like a bunch of bees stung her face
>wants to have a good body>focuses on barbell compounds
>>77284822I want to be strong and muscular, i refuse to ”just eat more bro”, shouldn’t have to, thinking i should get my blood drawn and get TRT or T3 to fix my inability to gain muscle
>>77284809TRT will put more muscle on your frame if you have enough protein, that's all there is to itThey've done studies on people on steroids gaining more muscle sitting on the couch than natties working out
>>77282939this image feels antagonizing for some reason
>>77282939Why is she speaking like a nigger?
>>77283040Genuinely among the ugliest girls Ive ever seen. Sexless men are so pathetic.
>>77285237you're a faggot if you dont want to breed that
>>77283025>>77283029>>77282939I hate hipsters
>>77285171This is all just cope to give yourself permission to roid
>>77282939Apologies if you've actually considered and tried everything. I think what is likely happening is that you are deficient in one of a few things without realizing it:1.) Sleep/Recovery - INCLUDING recovery from whatever physical/mental stress you incur through work, school, or life. If you haven't, spend a month or two prioritizing recovery over all else and see if that gives you a bump in anyway. The unfortunate reality is that this is either incredibly difficult to balance with life or impossible for some people. Once you are out of college and working fatigue and stress from life can be costing you plenty of gains without seeming that significant.2.) Nutrition. I think it is very difficult for most people to estimate what they are eating. You might need to eat more calories, you might need more protein, carbs, or fats. If you haven't, spend a week diligently tracking your intake and expenditure then experiment a bit with more of something or less of something. 3.) Progression/Work This might be the most obvious but you might not actually be attempting to progress hard enough. Or you might be chasing the wrong thing. For example, I think some people respond better to volume and others to intensity. If everything else is dialed try something very different and see if you respond more or less. Worst case is nothing changes but you get a little variety.Keep at it and learn to enjoy the work as well as the results.
>>77285385I would also echo >>77283063 and say that you are getting good results but everyone will encounter sticking points in progress. You are stronger than you think and probably look better than you think.
>>77285385Sleep is good advice, rest is garbage, eating more != more muscle, every program and no program even should land a healthy man under 30 at a 225 bench and a 315 squat in under a year
>>77285424Eating more does equal muscle, but it could also equal more fat. IDK where this myth comes from but I've seen it around here recently. Saying rest is garbage is probably the worst fitness advice I have ever read anywhere anytime. There are two components to getting results, doing (hard enough) work and recovering from the work. Period.
>>77285500No it doesn’t without the right hormones
