Baby lovers SS - 1 Months progress (no pics, just stats)

[LozzS]

Ate above 3000 calories. Raised Squat everytime, didnt manage to raise bench 2 times and didnt manage to raise deadlift once.

Weight is in Kg

8/5/12
Squat 35
bench 30
Deadlift 35 - did 5 reps, 3 sets, first time. so this could be why its low?

8/6/12
Squat 65
Bench 40
Deadlift 62.5 - everyother time except the first i did 1x5

Do squat 6 times per 2 weeks
DL 3 times per 2 Weeks
Bench 3 times per 2 Weeks

Does this look like a good start?

I'm not familiar with Babylover's SS, but it looks pretty average. Keep it up man

[Hughsey1995]

Looks good man, so longs as lifts keep going up you are making progress so keep on going .

As you say, should be able to raise squat everytime, same really for deadlift by 5lbs, but missing it once isnt a disaster, bench will be harder to progress on every week.

Yeah kg. wth what?

[Ensix]

Yeah kg. wth what?

Are those your lifts or the sum you moved up by? Confused hurr.

[LozzS]

Lifts, 20kg bar + 21.25kg each side for deadlift

Everyone's got to start somewhere bro.

[Ensix]

Everyone's got to start somewhere bro.

Just baffled by the ridiculously low deadlift, unreal tbh, 35kg.

Anyway, progress is good, and that's what matters!

80 pounds is not ridicolously low for someone lifting weights for the first time

[bonercoaster]

80 pounds is not ridicolously low for someone lifting weights for the first time

yes, yes it is

[JaredPunch]

yes, yes it is

no it's not and absolute strength means nothing unless in relation with the person doing the lifts, since someone who is 200 pounds as a beginner, even if lot is fat, will be stronger than someone who is 130 pounds when starting out. Reasons are amount of mass, leverage, connective tissue. So the only meaingful way to measure strenght is by percentage of own body weight. And most people starting out can't lift 50% of their own weight. Consider that according to many survey most people can't do one push-up

its low for a starting DL. Nothing wrong with that, but is low. End of story.

Lol wat? You must have terrible genetics

[LozzS]

Oh yeah i just remembered the first time i did DL i did 3 sets of 5, thats why it was so low, i wasnt doing 1 set

[JaredPunch]

Lol wat? You must have terrible genetics

I don't have anything
Most people who don't train are like that according to most survey
So how much did you deadlift the first time you did the lift in your life?
I don't care about ego-based pounds, what I'm talking about is what percentage of you bodyweight?
And were you sedentary or involved into other sports?
Note that no one mentioned maxes

I disagree about it being ridiculously low but there we go. February 1st I deadlifted for the first time, at about 40kg. Progress Is slow but up to 110kg x5 after 4 months now so getting there

Think that could be why its low??

[daavig]

Yea and its not just that he has to start somewhere because his deadlift started at his squat and now its below. LozzS, ur deadlift is really, really low. It should be above your squat. Consider mastering the form and pushing yourself more.

[comps]

Thought weight was in lbs, was dafuqing heard.

Squat progression is good.
Bench progression is good.
Deadlift progression is is 2.5kg too low, but the 3x5 could explain it.
Only do 1x5, you will thank God for that later on.

As with the rest of this thread, I disagree with your statement. Yes, for many, squat will be lower than Deadlift, but it doesn't have to be, and it can be thee other way round. Please tell me why it has to be higher than squat? I think questioning OPs effort is somewhat unfair when he is clearly making progress.

I only did 3x5 the first time, every other time i raised by 5kg and did 1x5

[LozzS]

By how much should it be above squat? is there a formula like x1.25 of squat or just should be higher in general?
What should i try tuesday with my DL about 70/75kg?

[Brenjam]

Lifts are pretty low, but you increased all of your lifts by a substantial weight good work, keep going.

[NightcoreStyle]

Deadlifts are way too less. After 2 months of deadlifting 1xweek, I got from 60kg to 120kg. No SS , just upper-lower.

[Rowbro]

Yeah that's pretty good progression. IMO I would be lifting more than 3 times a week if I was that new to weight training, but hey it's solid progress and if you can keep that up for 6 months you'll be squatting over 315 pounds.

Proportional squat/deadlift to a 225 is 315/405.
So just estimate using that knowledge.

[YungKDaGawd]

I've seen lots of HS kids pull 185-225 their first time, 80lbs on a deadlift is indeed very low

[LozzS]

Proportional squat/deadlift to a 225 is 315/405.
So just estimate using that knowledge.

405/315 = 1.28... (2dp)
65(squat) x 1.28... = 83.57...

surely i wont even be able to do a 82.5kg, i dont think i'll even be able to do 75kg
82.5kg is a +20kg to what i did last time?

i'll give 75kg a go and i'll video it next time but im highly doubting myself

Dw, most peoples' lifts aren't completely proportionate.
It is expected to have variations between people.

Just work on all your lifts equally.
