You keep reading that you can't gain muscle in a deficit. Well, obviously, you are.
Keep it up and keep us updated on your progress, please.
Your deadlift is almost three times what you started. You added 52% to your bench. Your squat went from a mere 75 pounds to 180, which means you are now squatting almost two and half times heavier than your starting squat.
There is no magic to instantly make you squat 700 pounds. You are going to have to work your way up to it, 2.5 pounds at a time, until you get there. It takes time.
Stop whining and keep doing what you have been doing. You only started lifting in April.
Keep this thread going for five years, with updates, and let's see how you are doing next year.
