Thread: Getting frustrated

Cam, Can you post up some information on your actual workout routine. I was stagnant at bench for an entire year until I ripped my routine apart I found it it was due to deadlifting before bench day. My delts and tri's would be to exhausted to have a successful bench the next day. Also have you tried doing any DE work, single working sets of heavy triple/heavy double. And do you rep out any weights after going heavy to work your tendons. Would love to help if you give me some more info!

You didn't mention, have you been using a bench shirt; or are you raw? Also what always seems to help is the use of boards; although obviously you can't bench with the boards without someone helping you. When I "stagnated" on my bench I went to the use of boards, both raw and then putting the shirt on (in getting ready for a meet). Also wrist wraps are a God send, there are so many varieties out there.

the goal was achieved. Hope to hear about the increase soon bro!!!

I have to agree with this. It your get stuck it means your body has adapted to it, just like everything you do in life. Change it up for about 8-10 weeks then go back at. Cycle you workouts like you would cycle your "cycles"

Sometimes it's as simple as overtraining or form , I alays go back to basics when I hit a wall. This is the site that's a monster of archives from the greats http://www.deepsquatter.com I just go back over details n form, maybe switch up the routine? jus my 2 cent
