Hello,
I am a 44 year old male that has been doing the NLP for several months now. For the last 3 months, I have transitioned to the 3 day a week "advanced" novice program where Wednesdays squats are 80% of Mondays and added chinups. While this certainly has helped, I feel like I am always feeling stiff (especially legs) and tired. With that said, I am still able to add weight to the bar every time, though my increments are no longer 5/10 lbs.
Here is where I currently am:
Squat - 315
Bench - 250
Press - 160
DL - 360
Given that I am able to still put additional weight on the bar, do I suck it up and keep pushing forward? Do others feel like this? At what point should I consider moving to a 4 day split to increase recovery time or some other option? Given that I am able to still add weight to the bar, I am hesitant to change what seems to be still working.
