advice on switching to phase 2

[gauravbjain]

I am 5'8" (172 cm), body weight 65.5 kg (144 lbs) male.

I started with SS around 2 months back and here are current stats
Squat, start: 20 kg ( 44 lb), current: 65 kg (143 lb)
Press, start: 20 kg (44 lb), current: 37.5kg (82 lb)
Bench, start: 20 kg (44 lb), current: 47.5 kg(104 lb)
Deadlift, start: 40 kg (88 lb), current: 87.5 kg(192 lb)

I am stalling on Deadlift and Press. So my questions are:
1. Should I introduce Clean now?
2. What can I do to progress on Press?

Apologies if this is not the right subforum, but any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

You can start gaining bodyweight and that alone will provide the traction you need to start progressing on your lifts.

Unless you were like 120 pounds when you started I'd suggest a sandwich.

I was around 61 kg (134 lbs) when I started. So you mean I should eat more to get some mass?

If you're still enjoying your meals, then you aren't eating enough at this stage.
