Is this decent for 8 months of lifting, also any advice? 5’10 158lbs

I’ve been doing PPLUL, eating 2600 cals, 160g protein. my current lifts are 185lbs bench (1RM) and 205lbs and 225lbs on squat and RDL (reps).

I want to hit 225lbs bench to try to hide my gyno. My friend said he hit it within a year so I feel like im behind already. any advice? thank you.

Is this dandruff? Dryscalp? Sebderm? Please help im so lost

My scalp is itchy and when I scratch it there’s that nasty yellow stuff under my nail in picture 2. Then in my hair it becomes white flakes that hopefully are somewhat visible in picture 1.

Ive had this for as long as I remember (I remember in middle school a girl noticed a few flakes fell out and got grossed out not that I blame her lol) but don’t know how to fix it. I’ve tried head and shoulders in the past now I’ve been using nizoral every 3 days but still nothing. Im going to the dermatologist soon but wondering what you guys think.. to make matters worse my hair has been shedding cause of losing weight too fast

7 months of lifting, is this decent progress? Also need help- 5’10 155lbs

Hey guys I’ve been doing PPLUL routine, lifting to failure, and tracking all my macros for like 7 months now. pic rels are like 5 month difference (though after is taken after a push day pump...) is it ok progress?

my current lifts are 180lbs bench (1RM) and 185lbs squat/RDL (reps). Are there any tips for increasing bench? I want to get a stronger chest to hide my gyno. Currently for Chest I do barbell bench, incline dumbbell (up to 55-60lbs there), and chest fly. I also sometimes do dips instead some days since I heard that can help.

7 months of lifting, is this decent progress, 5’10 155lbs

The pictures are really 5 or so months apart but Ive been lifting since mid February. I do 5x a week PPLUL and lift to failure. I also track all my calories and macros (150-180g protein, small surplus trying to recomp/lean bulk I guess, since im skinnyfat)

What you guys think? My current numbers are 180lb Bench (1RM max..I keep failing 185 :/ ), then around 185lbs for reps on squat and RDL.

Should I keep lean bulking or do a cut? Help please (5’10 155lbs)

Hey guys, I’ve been lifting for nearly 7months now — the first 4 pics are today, and the last is near the start of my journey.

I’m in a weird state where im skinnyfat with too much fat and not any muscle so I’ve been eating in a small surplus. I have been progressively overloading and am currently at a 180lbs bench (1RM..trying to hit 185 rn) and ~185lbs Squat/RDL (for reps). But I look pretty much the same as 6 months ago. Should I do a cut or just keep at this? My goal was to reach a 2 plate bench and then enter a small deficit from there but idk if that’s stupid. I don’t even know how many lbs of fat I would need to lose to see my abs for example. Thank you.
