my training has come to a sort of a plateau, Ive done many things with training theses few months, but it seems lifting heavy always have turned out the most sufficient results. it seems light training days don't fish me the same standards, some say you need to train light in order to give your nervous system a break..but I'm training for size and strength and any other way seems to sterilize my progress..and i know this style of training all the time can result an injuries..but i do check my ego at the door I'm smart about training heavy...the reason I'm posting is this board has always told the truth, and has many powerlifters who have been in the game a long time.unlike all the premadonnas in my gym and in this town i respect the advise here.
my training and max lifts are as follows
Mon..chest-tris
Tue..back-bis
wed..deads
Thurs..shoulders-traps
fri-legs
sat-running-pull ups,weighted dips
sun..off
bench max..435
incline bench max..405
squat..565
dead..650
weight..265-275
age..23
ht..6ft
Try this:
Week 1:
Mon..Heavy benchpress, and a LITTLE shoulder work eg side raises (don't forget rotator cuff), Deadlifts, abs, one set each of lat pulldowns/chins/DB rows, heavy.
Tue..Rest
wed..Squat, Stiff deadlifts (light/moderate weight, focus on the hammies)
Thurs..rest
Friday..Triceps (Board benchpress, close grip benchpress, et al) biceps, abs
sat..recovery walk (30 minutes, optional)
sun..rest
Week 2:
Same as week 1, but use 10% less weight on all excersises, still the same amount of reps.
Should help you get out of the slump IMO.
