Firstly, thank you to Ripp and all the others I have quietly leached off for the past 2.5 months. My squat has exploded from circa 90kg to 145kg for 5 and seems to be charging on. Dead has stalled at 150kg (lower back problems previously so going slowly) not quite sure why I'd be gaining so much slower than my squat however when my back holds up absolutely fine in the squat. Mental barrier?
Bench, however, has ground to a halt at 85kg. Reading through the threads and I wanted to get some fresh thoughts on how best to approach this. I see re-setting is popular, also the addition of dips as supplementary work. I've recently reset back to 70 and will start ramping back in 2.5 increments again to see where that takes me. Thoughts?
Anyway, good to get it out. Thanks again.
