help

[mazcaz]

Im new to all of this, so excuse the question, but need advice.

I started weight training around five weeks ago. I train 3 times a week. When i first done the bench press, i was benching 50kg (20 bar 2x15 disc). Done 3 sets of 10, not with to much difficulty.

A week later i could just manage 30kg (20 bar 2x5 disc). Five weeks later im still at the same weight. I just cannot seem to lift heavier. Iv tried and tried, and cannot even manage to get one rep out.

30kg seem hard at times, but any weight ontop of that it gets really hard.
This has been affecting every exercise i do, just cannot push any heavier, always picking up the light weights.

Im bemused by what has happened to me. I eat 2 bananas 30 minutes before workout for an extra energy boost, dont seem to help.

help?

is the first wt correct?

don't think about how heavy the wt is, which is what you did the first time...you shouldn't have such a large strength decrease like that

maybe dietary too, post what you eat each day and your training program

Sure if you want to feel alone it's a great site, have you not noticed that people actualy comunicate on shapefit.

I would imagine that one of the first rules of advertising would be to know your product witch you clearly don't.
