    Adding weights, reps, deloading, nothing leads to normal amount of progressive overload. Deload leads to tiny strength improvements, but diminishes after another 1 or 2 workouts. Goes back to before deload.

    I need excellent articles about this topic, please. No "add kcal" or "don't be a pussy" shit. Thanks.

    Cheers.

    I've read another book about resistance training, your book should have the same content.
    It didn't help me. Books are just increasing my paralysis.

    A Clarification | Mark Rippetoe
    don’t waste your opportunity to grow quickly. After this, the program and diet must change to reflect the reality of slower progress. I hope this clears up some of the confusion.
    If you don't gain 10 kg muscle in one year, but 1 kg muscle, that doesn't mean you won't have the newbie gains in the second year. Sure you wasted the first year by not doing it at optimum, You will always grow quickly as long as you can't lift x kg.
    That's already confusing to me, how you

    And why do you tell people to eat 4000 kcal and more? This is fat gain pure. Or do you all have a metabolic system like Speedy Gonzales/Flash/Sonic?
    I gain weight with only 2500 kcal. 183cm 77kg

    And after 1 month of weightlifting I could squat only 40kg. Started with 20kg. Could not add 5 kg per workout on squats after 30 days. I then already plateaued. Then I stopped weightlifting. I gained weight, followed the routine(not yours, but it's literally the same) and still Iam a looser.
