Started Starting Strenth about three months ago. I am 6.0 feet tall, 20 years old and my current weigt is 85kg. Currently eating 3200-3300cals a day. Made progress in my lifts:

Squat 95kg to 113kg
OHP 30kg to 47kg
Deadlift 100kg to 128kg
Benchpress 70kg tp 78kg
Clean, just started.
Pushups, just started
Bodyweight: 80kg 85kg

My progress was not the fastest, probably because i first had to fix my terrible, terrible squat form. Been squatting for about 3 weeks now.

Squat: 113kg
Bench: 78kg
Back extensions: 3×10 bodyweight
Pullups: 5/4/4

It's always good to welcome a new lifter. You may need to pick up your caloric intake a bit to gain weight. Muscle weighs more than fat. How much protein do you receive daily? Should be 200 grams +.

27.03.2019
Squat: 115kg (3,2,0 -> Have quited thge last set because of pain in my left arm, probably a golferarm?)
OHP:40kg (Did some technique work becuase my arm did not feel that great)
Deadlift: 60kg (Same here, did some technique)

Gave my arm some rest and did not train on this day.
Additional note: Started to eat 4000cals.


01.03.2019
Squat: 114kg(5,4,3 -> Felt very good in form and i was not so tiered after squatting)
Bench: 79kg
Back estensions 3x12 Bodyweight
Chin Ups: 6,4,4

03.04.2019
Squat:114kg
OHP: 40kg (I read the book again and and i want to work in my technique + I failed them 3 times so anyways i had to reset)
Deadlift: 130kg
Workout felt great overall (because of the 4000cals), but the pain in my arm was still there.
I dont feel much when im not doing anything with my arm, just during the workout. Should I take another day off or just watch how it envolves?

Be very careful with injuries.
If you continue to lift, consider a deload and work back up to your working weight over a 2 to 3 week period.
If the injury gets worse it could easily set you back months in strength gains.

Squat: 115kg
Bench: 80kg
Back extensions: 3×10BW
Chin Ups: 7/5/4

So the pain in my arms did not go away, I will probably start a deload week next week. Any tips? Should I cut back on my calories?

Thanks!
