I’ve done that in like 3 months. @tlgains just eat how you’re eating and do conditioning work, you might just be too gassed to finish supplemental work. conditioning will help that. and you’ll get stronger because you’ll be able to do more work in less time.

I honestly feel like my squat is still in noobie gains position. I’ve never actually gone up in weight last year due to form issues. Who knows I can or not.
You’ve never actually gone very long without changing your process or just stopping lifting altogether. Just stick with it dude - same form, same progression, for a year without stopping. I don’t know of any healthy, average-sized male who just cannot squat above 2 plates or whatever, no matter what. Anyone can get past that, just might take time.

My squat will go up in 6 weeks right. I don’t have to do SS like training to make the weight go up right?
Yes, if you train hard and eat right.
No, but you do have to train hard. Can you? Wrong question. Will you?
As others are saying: yes you theoretically could, if you put the work in.
65lbs on a TM in the space of 2 cycles is pretty out there though, especially if you’re already struggling with the weights. That’s over 3 times the recommended increase.
I just put it there for motivation idk if I can hit it lol same with deadlift. I feel confident about benching though. I feel I can definitely hit 205 lbs x 5 after 6 weeks.
All I know is. Whatever increase I get in 6 weeks from now on squat and deadlift, I won’t be satisfied with it.
Considering you are on a program with a goal of gaining size, not strength, it’s not something to be concerned about.

Unrealistic goals are completely counter productive for you.
Fancy a challenge? Myself and @mortdk have already spoken about a fake meet between Christmas and New year. Come beat us.
I thought it was both.
Oh so deep water is the strength phase
It will lay a foundation to realize strength.
Your goal was to build muscle when I laid out that training. BBB has it in the name “Boring but BIG”
Wdym realize strength?
After Deep Water, you will be in a good position to follow a program that focuses on lifting more weight, if that is your goal.
I think it’s entirely possible to do something like BBB or whatever, but maybe it’d work best for you to just work on building your base first. Size, strength, conditioning, all of it. If you feel you’re not strong enough, but you’re doing a program that prioritizes size, maybe try something else. I’m doing @isdatnutty 's beginner program, as is @Voxel (I think). I don’t know who else is.
It’s really not that innovative or anything, it’s just consistently getting stronger at the big lifts and using some smaller movements to hit weak points (like any good program should be). The only reason I’d recommend something like that or a more generic form of 5/3/1 is that there’s a little more variety. Different rep ranges than just 1-5 and sometimes 10.
Just a thought. I think BBB works fine too, but not if you quit halfway through workouts.
What are you lifts as of rn on nutty program?
I’ve always thought of it as a pyramid (@T3hPwnisher may correct me here). Programs like Deep Water build the base of the pyramid by improving form, building bigger muscles and improving work capacity. Programs like starting strength or any peaking program build the top by forcing your body to adapt to lifting heavy weights.
Build the base first, then peak later if you choose.
9 days later but skip it haha nhs is tarded
I am lost now. So I should build strength first then do what @T3hPwnisher told me or vice versa?
