I was making steady progress on my press with 4x5 on volume day and 2x3 on intensity day for quite a while. I haven’t made any changes for a while except adding 2.5 lbs per workout. My progress is starting to run out though and i’m starting to miss reps on the press. Last press volume day I got 5,5,4,3. Last intensity day I got 3,2. So my question is what should I do from here. Should I do a reset on volume day? should I move to doubles and then singles across for my intensity day? My bench is not stuck. Eventually I want to prioritize the press over the bench in my training. I’m currently not doing any accessories except chins. Any programming advice is greatly appreciated.
