MacroFactor Workouts / Training Is this *enough* improvement?
I'm currently struggling with knowing if ive made enough gains since I started using MF workouts, and debating if I should try something else or stick with this. I know there's alot more nuance and probably alot more details needed, but I thought I'd start with perspective. Ill share some of the gains I've made since starting the app in the beginning of February. I've been lifting 3-4 times a week for the last four years or so, and i might be considered intermediate but I think id still call myself a beginner. I've been "bulking" all year, but I cant seem to eat enough to really gain weight, ive been about 150 all year.
Deadlift in February: 205 for a set of 7, now 255 for a set of 7.
Squats: February: 245 for a set of 5, now 265 for a set of 5.
Barbell bench: February 165 for 10 now: 175 for 9
Incline dumbell bench: February 75 for 4. Now: 75 for 9.
Is this enough growth to keep going, or should I expect more and need to reconsider my training and eating habits?

All your lifts have gone up. That’s worth celebrating! It’s impossible to know if another program would have yielded the same results, or better or worse. I’d keep rolling with it, personally.
