I was thinking about going up to 78.5 and even considered jumping to 80 but good job i didn't because i could barely do 77.5. Felt really weak through out and my last set was only one full rep the rest was half reps. I got that fed up i sacked the rest of my training and just went straight back to work! It was then going through my head, why was the session so poor. Was it that i am not on creatine anymore, was it even lack of my usual pre workout coffee! I was on a real downer after that session questioning whether i am ever going to progress on my bench. I think that my expectations were too high. |
Maybe you might need to deload and ramp it back up.
You are training hard and that's for sure, but harder isn't always smarter.
Here is a scenario that happened to me. I hit a peak on chest exercises that I was focusing on. I stopped focusing on chest so much and focused on dead lifts. My deads went up 100lbs and my chest exercises that I was not focusing on went up, who knew.
You can deload on the bench or switch to db's and make some gains and go back to bar when you hit a platou on db's.
If you don't keep the body guessing you will stall!
