I did a slight reset to 155 after getting 5,5,3 at 157.5 and 4,4,2 at 160. I don't know if it is overdoing it yet but I am experimenting with 3 sets of 12 dumbbell presses after my work sets. I got 157.5 for 3 sets of 5 today so I am back on track. Keep eating it, keep hitting it, and don't give up. One more thing: on my last set I took like a 10 min. rest. The other two were about 6 minutes or so. And the last set still felt brutally hard but I got it.
