Gonna add 1 remark, tho, and a pretty interesting one


Because vegetables have no nutrition value, but the usual more difficultly digesting fibres and so on, they are quite a good filler.
Males eat in volumes, women are picky and eat smaller higher calory portions (generally). Therefore, if a male can eat the same volume, but with lower caloric value, he'll pretty easely drop weight.

For this reason, increasing the vegetables while cutting down on carb sources in your food is a rather effective way to diet.

I am currently on my 2nd month of 5x5, my weight is 77kg and I am 172cm.

Currently I am at 95kg squat, 95kg bench press, 60kg overhead press, 80kg deadlift and 70kg barbell raw.

I do abs between reps with minimum rest, on the odd days I play squash, boxing or football and rest once a week.

I am not using any supplements at all, not even whey protein.

So this directed toward the experts around here, @Zacheryah in particular. What would you recommend to improve my routine?

Zach, I am hitting the breaks on 5x5 after two months and I am finding it extremely difficult to raise my current numbers (specially squat and overhead and to lesser degree bench), any suggestions?

What vegetables are you talking about, man? Iceberg lettuce? Celery? Some vegetables are very good, low calorie filler. Others have insanely high nutritional value.

Kale is considered a superfood for a reason. A medium 67 gram serving of Kale contains 206% of your daily vitamin A daily value. 134% of vitamin C. 684% of Vitamin K. 5% Thiamin. 5% Riboflavin. 3% Niacin. 9% B6. 5% Folate. 1% Pantothenic acid. 9% of calcium. 6% of iron. 6% magnesium. 4% Phosphorus. 9% Potassium. 2% Zinc. 10% Copper. 26% Manganese. 1 gram of dietary fibre, and 2 grams of protein... (of course daily recommended % of things like Vitamin C and Vitamin K is still low imo, so those percentages are somewhat inflated, regardless, it packs a punch)

What about the above says "no nutrition value" to you? I'm confused.

So many veggies have great nutritional value. Salad maybe not so much but squash, potatoes, eggplants, cauliflower, carrots, and so on.

Yeah you can survive without em if you take vitamins but theyre far from useless.
