Hey... I weight 76 kg, started at 83,8 kg in december 2024. Am 175 cm tall and eat about 2500 kcal and 1,6 gramms and more per kg bodyweight since december. Haven three days with less than 120g protein.

But my weight training sucks. I stsrted with 7,5 kg dumbbell presses and now I am at 12,5 kg. My barbell incline press was 2,5 kg each side now 7,5 kg so in total with barbell 35 kg.

Dunno what I am doing wrong? Doing Push Pull Leg 6 days a week, once I did PPL UL cause of time.

I feel so bad. Im doing everything I can

Do you think the exercises I chose are okay?

I am planning on doing a Push A, Pull A and Leg A and seperate from Push B, Pull B and Leg B cycle.

Like one week I do A and the next week I do B.

Push A, Pull A and Leg A would be the exercises I wrote above.

For the B version of all PPL days I'd remove one bigger exercise with a bigger calisthenics exercise. Instead of Triceps Pushdowns and Leg Raises on Push Day I'd take those two out and do Dips instead. Instead of starting with Lat pulldowns cable I'd do as many pull ups and negative pull ups as possible and then finish my lat on the machine with lighter weights. Instead of Cable rows I'd do Australien Pull Ups. Instead of Leg Press I'd do Dumbbell Squats in week B for leg day.

You know what I mean?

Yeah sounds like you've got a good plan. I'm far from being an expert, so can't unfortunately give you deep insights.

Just be mindful of the burnout. It's a marathon, not a sprint. That, and doing reps with good technique. Once the technique is not there anymore, it can be considered a failure and you can stop.
