I started lifting almost 3 years ago now; I started with SS, then later moved onto BBB when I started to plateau.
I've been lifting mostly consistently throughout; only ever stopped for an extended period when doing my Bachelor's thesis and even then only about 2 months and always did strength focused lifts; no fluff and pump splits.
I sincerely don't know what's wrong with me, my numbers are pathetic and there are people who are untrained who can lift more than I do. My diet might not have been totally on point all the time but most days I made sure I got at least 2 g of protein per kilo of bodyweight and enough calories, and in any case there's people half my age (I'm 25....) whose diet consists of a protein shake after the gym and mum's cooking and basically just mess around in the gym with no care for programming or form that can outlift me easily.
I'm thinking I must have ridiculously low testosterone levels or something, it's the only thing I can think of.
