it's ok to not get stronger or to not make progress if you want to maintain your current size and/or conditioning level, but...
if you want to get bigger and/or achieve a better condition then YOU MUST PROGRESS IMO
if you do the same thing over and over then why would the body change?
this PROGRESS is the key/way to making gains
for examlpe my rows and tri extentsions have greatly progressed recently, and guess what? my lats and tris are MUCH BIGGER AND THICKER
and on the other side, my curls and calf raises have basically stayed the same (only up a rep or two) and guess what? my calves and bis have only very slightly improved if at all
excess calories pave the way when wanting to progress. need to pave the road first before you hit the road of success
dieting doesnt pave the way IMO, it only pays off for temperory leaness
if i dont progress day to day thats fine doesnt mean im going to quit my routine ill do legs everyday for a month if im not stronger by the end of the month maybe i should cut back training
so far its the type of training wich seems to make me progress injury free, that means for me preferring lunges to squats
i feel i lose momentem if i dont hit full body everyday, but thats just me, but i recommend people to atleast try dont assume youll overtrain IF you OVEReat
