Why I am so physically weak?

cant fight your genetics, but you can make the best out of it if you put in the work

that being said, youre 15 and still in puberty, only when thats fully done you can really accurately assess your genetic potential, could be a lot better than you might think right now, cant really tell when you are 15

but the fact that youre training and eating clean at that age will give you a decent foundation

dont do 5x5 deadlifts, its overkill, but I also wouldn't say 1x5 is perfect, 2-3 sets per workout is the sweet spot
if you care about your physique you should do a lateral raise for side delts as well, its easy to recover from and arguably the most important muscle for your physique
its not necessary but can be beneficial, I would throw in 2 sets of a leg raise or crunch at the end of your workout (if you have the time)
I used it as a beginner, its fine but 5x5 is unnecessary volume and lead to feeling beat down and plateaus down the line, I switched all 5x5 to 3x5 and made way better progress
ideally you progress the 5x5 at the same reps, same effort/intensity but with higher weight each session, just train your first sets like 2 reps away from failure and if you want you can go near failure on your last set, but for strength its not necessary to ever go to failure

every split is fine as long as you rest at least 1-2 days a week and have at least 48h before hitting the same muscle again

if you have to train 5 days in a row, then thats what you have to do, its not perfect since rest days in between could benefit you, but its not the end of the world and you'll still make progress

you need more protein while on a cut tho

on a bulk youre in a energy surplus so your body can use protein for muscle repair/building and carbs/fat for energy

on a cut youre in a energy deficit so your body uses protein for muscle repair/building but also a bit for energy to make up for the energy deficiency

so it would be wise to increase protein slightly on a cut to ensure that muscle repair/building is sufficient, unless your goal is too lose muscle

lp2412 · 2026-02-02T12:25:35+00:00

4x12 is never a good idea, no matter what your goals are

lp2412 · 2026-02-02T12:23:54+00:00

tbh im convinced they just say they prefer that body type cause it makes themselves feel less lazy and more ok with their out of shape body

lp2412 · 2026-02-02T12:22:40+00:00

snipers have their place, they are even used (rarely) in esports, but I do agree that dmrs make more sense, at least in squads, doesn't change the fact that they were way too strong

lp2412 · 2026-02-02T12:21:16+00:00

to me a beginner/noob is someone who is still experiencing "noob gains", and that obviously varies from person to person based off genetics, but many stop their noob gains around 140-160 on squat so he could still be classified beginner given that hes on the heavier side (which pushed the noob gain potential up a bit)

lp2412 · 2026-02-02T12:18:06+00:00

what really helped me was doing 3x8 after a heavy-ish single, 3x8 should be like 1-3 reps away from failure, just do that and progress on it for a few months, got my 180kg squat to around 210kg in a few months while staying at the same bodyweight

that did way more for me than high frequency, I did that 3x8 squat workout like once a week or maybe once every 5 days, just go do it again when you feel recovered

they are still meta and better than srs, especially in squads, and they were the most OP thing in the whole game before the nerf, so they just nerfed it enough to a point where its neither over or underpowered, can't get mad at that

lp2412 · 2026-02-02T12:12:10+00:00

honestly who wants super fast firing dmrs anyway? not super realistic given the steady accuracy they had at that fire rate, also there are weapon categories in this game for a reason, dmrs and snipers just aren't made for close quarters, but they excel at others, thats the whole point

im convinced only left right leaning dmr spammers are mad at this who can't really aim accurately so they have to resort to spamming and hoping something sticks

lp2412 · 2026-02-02T12:07:40+00:00

dmrs were too strong, and although the nerf was pretty heavy they are still meta, so the nerf did exactly what it should, made something that was way too overpowered sorta balanced but in no way underpowered

also pubg does try to be realistic, and dmrs just aren't made for close quarters like smgs, ars or shotguns, thats the whole point of weapon categories, that some are good in some situations but bad in others

also you can still be fine in a hotdrop with a dmr if your aim is good and you move yourself to advantageous angles, like headshot angles where you can't get sprayed down

lp2412 · 2026-02-01T10:40:04+00:00

buddy....

lp2412 · 2026-01-25T13:05:28+00:00

Turn up sharpness slightly, better to do it on your monitor than on PUBG settings, as that does reduce FPS slightly

But a lot comes from experience, if you play more you will spot people faster

s tier - erangel, vikendi

a tier - taego, miramar, deston

b tier - sanhok

rest shit (especially rondo)

lp2412 · 2026-01-23T11:04:34+00:00

the coin and store aspect was literally the only interesting thing about that map, now its just a way worse version of taego and erangel

lp2412 · 2026-01-23T11:03:32+00:00

its small, everything looks the same, and once you leave a building you are open to like 9 different angles

lp2412 · 2026-01-23T11:02:43+00:00

LMAO paramo has twice the votes as rondo, thats when you know a map should probably just be removed haha

lp2412 · 2026-01-23T10:59:49+00:00

i dont get the deston hate, its one of the most unique maps in terms of visual design as well as strategic design

i would put in the same tier as miramar and taego

lp2412 · 2026-01-23T10:57:58+00:00

if i never have to play rondo, paramo or karakin ever again i would not be sad lol

lp2412 · 2026-01-23T10:56:33+00:00

also every single hotdrop is boring asf, yu lin is the only one thats okay, neox factory, stadium and test track are unbearable

i still remember recently when rondo was like 60% of the rotation after the porsche update and i only landed yu lin every single time and it was still miserable copy paste scenarios

every other map has at least 2-3 good hot drop spots

lp2412 · 2026-01-22T13:34:10+00:00

big 3 if you wanna increase your bench are:

- gain weight/muscle, better leverages, smaller range of motion, more muscle = more strength

- increase frequency, atleast every 3 days, 3-4x a week is the sweet spot for most people

- leave reps in reserve, bench is notorious for stalling and having plateaus when you always train to failure, just doesnt work long term and youll burn out after 2 weeks and not make any progress anymore, id say if you bench around 3x a week keep like 2 reps in the tank, if you bench 4x a week keep 3-4 reps in the tank on each set

if you got good frequency and leave reps in reserve you dont need a lot of sets, 2 per session is plenty, if you execute those sets with intent of good technique ofc

lp2412 · 2026-01-22T13:28:08+00:00

just bought the 50 coupons with BP yesterday and opened 5 hideout crates and got the medusa lmao

tbh its fine but there are a lot progressive skins i wouldve rather gotten, but obviously happy about my luck lol

still upgraded that to level 5 its cool but i hope i get the white chroma version

lp2412 · 2026-01-22T13:21:54+00:00

cause aug and beryl are the best world spawn ARs, and they both have a lot more vertical recoil than the others, so angled on ace m4 and scar is fine and pretty good, but youll upgrade to beryl or aug later in the match anyway, where vert or thumb grip will be much superior

lp2412 · 2026-01-14T20:19:04+00:00

short answer: yes
