I have a progression question fit.

Three weeks ago I started training with barbells; squats, deadlifts, bench press, rows, and overhead press. Overall, I've been progressing fairly well, being able to consistently add weight to my lifts. I was under the impression that I would be able to progress a lot further before I began to stall, but today, I tried to squat 100lbs up from 95lbs monday and simply couldn't do it. Is it normal to stall around this point, or could I be doing something wrong. I get at least .5g protein for each lb of bodyweight and get around 6 hours sleep a night. Any suggestions?

don't squat wearing suspenders. they're getting caught on the safety bar when you bottom out. wear a belt like a normal person, you look like an america's funniest home videos clip waiting to happen.

Try adding on only 5lbs to your squats a week until your body adjusts. Sounds to me like you're overtraining for your calorie intake.

Increase your calorie intake, get more protein and sleep more. Remember: muscle gain happens in the kitchen and bed, not the gym.

Moar sleep, 6 hours might feel like enough, but it's not.

Maybe I was just moving too fast then, I've been adding like 10lbs a workout.

not enough protein and not enough sleep.

get at least 1g/lb of bodyweight of protein and at least 8 hours of sleep.
