I've been on 5/3/1 for nearly six months now, on a recomp/very slow cut. I've lost around 3kg in those 6 months, but leaned out a lot. I have been able to make the prescribed weight increases each...

This isn't the right message board for this question. Google it up.

Eat more. Continue linear progression. Unless you're benching 200lb for reps, you're nowhere near done with newbie gains.

Didn't have access to scales this weekend so I'll have to miss this week's weigh in.

First weigh in: 192.4. I move about a fair bit so I will have to use different scales quite often, so expect some fluctuations.

The issue here is that you care about what other people say.

I would join an October-Jan one too

My hands are tiny compared to my dads and I'm 20. Noone can predict what your body is going to do. I used to have tiny wrists and skinny fingers, but I've been a mechanical apprentice for a couple of...

Linear progression will net the quickest gains. Rippetoes SS or babylovers variant are good. Combine one of those with solid eating and rest.

Also, read the damn stickies!

Don't listen to them, you're not fat and you don't have gyno. Keep lifting and eating.

To be honest with you, if you don't know the answer to those questions, you probably shouldn't be designing your own program. Pick something tried and true like Starting Strength, or Babylovers...

Keep cutting, for atleast another 6-8 weeks

Try babylovers SS, there's a bit more accessory work involved.

After a layoff, I followed babylovers ss for 8 weeks, with theese results (5rm)
Bench
70kg- 100kg

Squat
90kg-140kg

Deadlift...

I like my callouses, I've never used straps or gloves, only chalk, I don't believe in using gloves, I can see the usefulness of straps for something like heavy farmers walks

All it takes is hard work :) I got to this PB on babylovers SS

Thanks man :)

Not that great of a PWO, I have to take 2 1/2 scoops to get any effect.

Reached a long term goal of 200kg (440lb) deadlift at 84kg (185lb) bodyweight today, small numbers for some, but a major point in my lifting career for me!

Adjust calories to limit your weight gain to 1lb a week, I eat at surplus workout days and maintenance on rest days. Don't eat at a deficit on rest days, because your body is recovering it still...

Look in to intermittent fasting
