He's right, you shouldn't be eating less than 1200kcal a day bare minimum. Even then, 1200/day is enough to sustain a very tiny person who does very little every day.

On another note, I'm annoyed:

Deadlift: 5RM is 335, guessing my 1RM is 365~375
Squat: 5RM 295 (3 plates pls wat r u doin), 1RM ~335
Bench: 5RM 185, 1RM ~205 (AND I JUST RESET TO 165 BECAUSE I STALLED YEP CALLED THAT ONE)
OHP: 5RM 110, 1RM 125

I weigh ~180. I can squat and deadlift almost 2x my bodyweight.

Oh my god my numbers are so disproportional. My arms aren't particularly long so I shouldn't be that horrible at pushing weights, and even if they were I wouldn't want to blame it on that. Hell, my chest/shoulders are aesthetically well-proportioned compared to my lower body, but ironically they can't keep up in the gym--I should be able to do my projected 1RM as a 5RM for my bench and OHP. WAT DO

To add even more to the dilemma, I want to start lifting for aesthetics, which means I want a good strength base (I think I said earlier I want to hit 1000 DL/squat/bench first). But because I want to lift for aesthetics I don't want to eat at a huge surplus because I'll end up gaining fat, but if I don't eat at a surplus I won't gain strength, and if I don't gain strength I won't have a good base for aesthetics, etc.

what do you usually do when stalling?

my day at the gym was terrible. I felt incredibly psyched for it, I love leg day.
I was warming up for squats and all, no biggie, ATG as always.

then I racked up my warm-up weight.
and JUST as I went below parallel, my shorts cracked. not a big crack, but big enough to force me to go home and change into a new pair.

blegh......
