im doing 5x5 stronglifts, for a few months, but kept taking breaks/being lazy at the start so didn't see much progress for a while. im 5'9 60kg (maybe more now, havent weighed self in while). my squat keeps going up but feel like other weights are lagging behind, what do?
Are you eating at a caloric surplus? When I started lifting my strength went up sharply (a total newbie will make strength gains no matter what they eat) then I plateaued like you. Made an excel spreadsheet with my calorie intake then realised I wasn't eating as much as I thought. Increased it to 3000 calories and my lifts started increasing immediately. So yeah, what Angry Cucumber said. Eat more.

been trying hard to eat more these past few days, might try make a spreadsheet, good idea.
mostly happy, squat form wasn't perfect for last sets, but never felt like I was going to fail. Bench press was decent, very slow, but again didn't feel like I was going to fail.
100kg 1x5 deadlift today. a new PB. other lifts aren't great but ive started a new diet recently which im happy with so we'll see what happens. I want to squat 100kg 5x5 by the end of the summer.

add in dips as an accessory exercise (since your OHP,and bench are lagging behind) + make sure you are recovering well. keep up the good work
