Intensity Day stalling on Split Routine

[David Lee]

Hey Andy,

I've been rotating 5 singles, 2 triples and a single set of 5 on intensity days. All three are starting to stall.

I'm not sure if I should re-set, go to a consistent set/rep scheme on ID & try to add weight weekly, or something else.

I'm 46 6'2" 225# and in no position to eat through it. Current best singles: squat 340, dl 375, bench 275, press 180.

Your thoughts?

Few Questions:

They are stalling on all major lifts?

What are you using for weight/volume on your volume workout?

What are you using for weight on your ID days?

Please give only the info I asked for. I'll ask for more if needed. Thanks

Try cutting out the triples and fives on your intensity day. Just do your 3x5 weights for volume (possibly additional sets if even at a lighter weight). On your ID day, just stick with singles across. Reset your weights to where you can get 5 singles across. So then we just have a day for heavy 5s and a day for heavy singles.

Two questions:
Have you ever done stiff leg deads?
What is the template for your program? I don't need sets and reps, just what exercises are done on each day
