    Sounds like someone should ask Santa for Practical Programming.

    I think it's mostly that it's getting harder.

    When you can't make the target reps a few sessions in a row, once you finally make them then you progress by a smaller step. If it took you 3 workouts to get 5,5,5 with 185, there's no sense leaping to 195.

    The fact that you're getting closer to your genetic potential, and the principle of diminishing returns comes into effect. Since that's rather obvious though, care to rephrase your question? Or was that actually what you meant to ask?

    What makes it go from 10lbs to 5lbs is the fact that you can't increase the weight 10lbs a workout. What makes you start intermediate programming is the fact that you can't increase the weight at all each workout.

    What factors create those genetic limitations?

    You see when a man and a lady like each other in a very special way they can sometimes make a baby.

    So apparently now when you pull eggs to freeze them you can also order genetic testing. Like wtf gattica. Friend is freezing eggs for later and telling me she might also get genetic screening.

    So not just when a man and a lady make a baby. Could be when a lady freezes eggs and then orders the egg completion kit. With blue eyes and blond hair. Or muscles. Or not muscles.

    It's mayhem out there !
