Putting up some decent numbers for your age buddy. The shoulder and knee pain comments are a bit of a worry though. Remember this is the body you will have for the rest of your life. Pushing through injuries (no matter how small) just for numbers is pretty risky especially at your age where you are still growing.
Being strong is handy but being fit, mobile and healthy throughout your whole life is rather important to.
Happy lifting mate!

So i was diagnosed with bicep tendonitis about two weeks ago and i’ve been seeing an ostepat who has really helped me clean up my banged up shoulders. Started benching yesterday, neaturam grip bar floor presses with 45 kg for 5X5. Officaly starting bulk today as well, i’ve pretty much maintained up to this point.
Goals:
September: 125 kg Floor press
December: 155 kg Floor press
March: 175 kg Floor press
Depending on how my shoulders feel at that point i may transition to regular bench. Incredeble jorney ahead. Happy lifting everyone!
Not going to comment about your goals being unrealistic or what not but in my humble/unjustified opinion, fast progress in short periods of time is not only unsustainable, it’s usually detrimental in the long run.
Agreed, but I had to learn it myself as did most here, so it’s best just to let it run its course.

I appreciate the feedback, one of the reasons i started this thread is to see what more experienced lifters have to say.

So i’m finally ready to start progressing. Tendonitis almost gone and yesterday i floor pressed 75 kg with NO pain. I’m also gonna adopt a 700 + grams of carbs diet, i’m interested in seeing how my body will react. Will try to keep carbs around workout time, and i’ll do a 24 hour fast every sunday to reset insulin. Anyway here is my meal plan:
Breakfast:
250 g Salmon
A mountain of kale
1/2 Avokado
1 handful of almonds
Olive oil
Lunch:
2 scoops pea protein
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp fish oil
Pre workout:
200 g jasmin rice
Post workout
2 scoops pea protein
2 scoops maltodextrin
2 cups pomegranate juice
3 bananas
400 g jasmin rice
5139 calories, 210 g protein, 690 g carbs, 170 g fat

Yeah its crazy, i really want to see how my body reacts to a lot of carbs
$5 says that you’ll just gain a bunch of weight and if you’re lucky, 20-30% of that’ll be muscle.
I gained 10kgs in 2 months back when I was mid 60kgs (maybe 3/4 years ago?). I went up to 76kgs. Cleaned up my diet from then on but I haven’t went under 70kgs since. Then again, I ain’t exactly a good example since I do not have an appreciable amount of muscle mass. Bummer.

You’re getting plenty of protein for 75kg which is the important thing. I’m pretty excited to see how this turns out!
Holy fucking shit i feel so fucking amazing! I have so much energy and i finally are able to crush it again in the gym after months of joint pain and tendonitis. Yesterday i hit 35 kg X5 on the DB floor press. I’m weighting 74 kg today.
On sunday i will go on vacation for a week but i’ll try my best to get some work in and to eat a shitload of food.
The results of this diet change is nothing short of incredable.
Happy holidays everyone.
You lost weight eating 5000+ cals with nearly 700g carbs at a bodyweight of 165lbs? hmmm…
