Beginner here looking for feedback because I feel stuck.

I’ve been doing the Recommended Routine consistently since January. Since then I went from 70 kg to 80 kg bodyweight, but my pulling and dipping strength barely improved.

Current numbers:

Pull-ups: from 3x1 ugly form to 3x3 chest almost at the bar

Dips: from 0 to 3x4

Push-ups: some to 3x8

So I’m progressing a bit, but way slower than I expected for pull-ups and dips.

I train regularly and try to eat enough, so I’m wondering if the weight gain is slowing me down or if I’m doing something wrong with programming/recovery/form.

Has anyone else experienced this as a beginner? Any advice on how to break through this plateau?

My goals are simple: getting to 8+ reps of pull-ups and dips
