Finally starting to figure out the snatch. That lift has been giving me trouble for weeks

I’m having trouble getting gains. How much should I be hoping for in a month? I seem to be stuck at 150 lbs no matter what I do

2018-02-22 17:49:59 UTC  

@peytonT yessir

2018-02-22 17:51:28 UTC  

Nuclear, I’m kinda stuck between 160-165 and I’m 5’7. Just get strong as fuck then go into bodybuilding training and force feeds yourself

2018-02-22 17:53:09 UTC  

@NuclearReactionary gib more info. How much do you weigh? How much are you lifting? What program are you following if any

2018-02-22 18:13:29 UTC  

You gotta eat big.

2018-02-22 18:13:48 UTC  

If you aren't putting on ANY weight, you are not eating enough. It's that simple

2018-02-22 18:14:32 UTC  

If you are 150 and fat, that's a different situation.

2018-02-22 21:02:58 UTC  

Not fat, just not really gaining weight.

2018-02-22 21:04:44 UTC  

@Nick-NJ I weigh 153 right now. I’m not following a program. I just have a set of adjustable dumbbells and a bench right now. I lift 3 times a week, rotating between muscle groups.

2018-02-22 22:09:11 UTC  

@NuclearReactionary Start recording your daily calories and weigh yourself to find your basline, then add approx. 300 calorie surplus to gain weight. If you are eating a caloric surplus you will gain weight. Track in an app like fitday. You also need to be following a program and recording your sets/weight so you can see that your progressing.

2018-02-22 22:11:30 UTC  

If you arent tracking your weight numbers and calorie numbers so you can adjust them and doing it by "feel" you likely wont make the progress you want.

2018-02-22 22:12:32 UTC  

@NuclearReactionary For reference, I'm a naturally slender guy too.

I gained 20 solid lbs after following the Starting Strength program.

Like @Brandon Ironside- ND said, you need a REAL program, one you can keep track of, and chart your improvements, and you need to eat more than you presently do.

2018-02-22 22:14:53 UTC  

Ok. I am keeping track of my weight numbers, but I will look into a program.

2018-02-22 22:15:24 UTC  

I will also look into tracking my caloric intake.

2018-02-22 22:16:38 UTC  

I don’t have a barbell 😩

2018-02-22 22:17:18 UTC  

This is what I have for the moment.

2018-02-22 22:17:54 UTC  

Gyms do. ;)

Or,
I got 2 barbells and freeweights from Craigslist, for alot less than you'd expect.

2018-02-22 22:20:02 UTC  

Maybe I’ll get a barbell this summer, but for now I have to make do with what I got.

2018-02-22 23:11:32 UTC  

called a gym membership, nibba

2018-02-22 23:29:47 UTC  

Mark Rippetoe is the shit

2018-02-22 23:29:52 UTC  

And also funny as hell

2018-02-23 06:01:25 UTC  

Ok, dumb question. Is there a right time of day to weigh yourself or does it only matter that you do the same time every day?

2018-02-23 06:30:30 UTC  

Best time is probably right when you wake up

2018-02-23 06:30:42 UTC  

But mostly it's about doing it same time every day

2018-02-23 12:30:34 UTC  

Idk

2018-02-23 12:30:49 UTC  

Some people say once a week, in the morning

2018-02-23 19:10:31 UTC  

Weighing everyday is not only not a good gauge (weight naturally fluctuates from day to day which is not a reflection of your long-term progress) but is also a recipe for an unhealthy obsession with your weight, if you are prone to such things as body dysmorphia.
