Now that I'm reading and will soon pick it back up, I can't help but ask why I'm stalling so early.
I am 24 male. About 5' 4" at 150 lbs (no more than 15% bodyfat, maybe lower). I should be in the 300s for deadlift and approaching the 300s for the squat. Should I aim to gain weight or am I missing something on the performance side?
