1. Increase calories to 3300 or so primarily via carbs, keeping protein around 220.
2. Increase rest between sets to 5-6 minutes
3. Decrease to 0.5kg increments, if you have the equipment to do so.
Dear coaches,
Info about me:
1) 28 years old, male and 188cm tall
2) now at 88 kg bodyweight
3) started at 81 kg bodyweight
4) doing SSLP-ish
5) now in week 8 of the program
6) switched for 2,5kg increments to 1 kg increments in week 4 for bench press and press
7) eating 2900 calories-ish
8) eating about 220 grams of protein a day
9) 3-4 minutes rest between bench press and press
10) press weight started at 40 kg and bench press started at 60 kg. I'm stuck with a 52 kg. press and a 80 kg. bench press
11) I'm studying and getting plenty of rest/sleep too
As the title says I crashed on my motorcycle and this was two years ago. All on my left side I broke my scapula, clavicle and 8 ribs. My squat and DL are pretty decent (now squatting 133kg for sets across and deadlifting 150kg for a set of 5). But as you can see my upper-body lifts suck.
Could this be because of the crash? And would you have any programming-suggestions for me to boost these lift?
Fingers crossed I hope you can help me or shed some light on this situation
Best,
Troels

Calories increased, resting increased and fractional plates bought. Done! Looking forward to some more gains.
Thanks so much Michael
