So basically i decided to switch upto. 5x5 for flat dumbbell bench press. I was doing 20kg i did 20kg 5x5 fine then moved onto 22.5kg. First day i was able to do 1st set with 5reps and 2nd set with 3reps. But next week is where things took turns. My left arm wasnt able to do more than 3 reps but right arm was able to do 5. So i lowered my sets and increased reps moved to 3x6. But the problem still remained. Now i have decided to do tomorrow 3x8 with 20kgs. Lets say if i am able to pull it off should i move to 22.5kg or should i go till 12 reps.

Don't make yourself think like you're making some great sacrifice. Believe that it is normal for you. Believe that it's a nothing burger for you to go without it for a year. It doesn't even take any effort.

Been a month and it just stopped one day i still get hard and watch porn think of mastrubating but since i am busy all day w kalej and shit i dont get time
have started lifting this week once again like all the tasks i started and left in between. mostly reason is lack of protein but this time i am just going ahead even with 50-70g whatever i can do. i just want to look a little better in 6 months even if it is just some muscle mass in my arms.
body is typical skinnyfat but on top of it i have wider hips and small chest and skinny/lean upper body, makes it worse for me. mostly fat is concentrated around belly, thighs, hips, calves.upper body is very skinny. not much fat, not any muscle, also my right side back and hip is very tight. will try to work on it.
equipment isnt much either, 2 dumbell rods weighing 300gm, 2.5kg plates(4), 1 kg plates(1), doing most exercises combing 2.5 and 1 making 7.5kg dumbells.

Gym isn't doable for me yaar, I am too much into hustleshit and can't dedicate time for gym, I lift at odd timings in first place like 12am. As for progressive overload, i can't do it for 6-8 months for now I plan to do reps till failure and give reps time to get more fatigue.
