stalling

I'm starting to stall on. 3x5 should I try 3x3 with a bit more weight for a few weeks ?
Cheers

Do you have a diary? Need to see workouts??

Perhaps a short period of 3x3 followed by a mega deload back to 3x10...

Starting to stall is not stalling. Keep going and try a bit harder for the next few weeks. If you do stall for 2 or 3 weeks drop back the weights a few kg and build back up.

It's meant to be hard.

Push through it, learn to love the hard weeks and know you can beat it. When you do finally feel fucked back off the weight a little bit and go again.

>I'm stalling, should I do less volume?
Hell no

At 29 that could be more difficult.

I have no idea what the op is doing, seeing the workout, diet and the amount of sleep can give more insight and inturn a more educated response be given.

Sometimes when a trainee is stuck on a weight at a particular rep range for weeks, the simple method of adding 2.5kg to the bar can stimulate strength increases.

Bazza is spot on though, and man-up it's called a workout, not a restout.

All mains. My bench is 3x5 77kg. Deads 3x5 150kg ohp 3x5 47kg my I've dropped. Squats rite back to 3x5 @ 70kg I keep pulling something in my groin.

You got hip mobility issues if you have groin issues imo...

I also think you should go back and do a 12 week cycle of the PTC beginner program..


Then do another run on SS

The thing that helped me the most when stalling on big lifts was some higher rep work, and definitely not [even] lower rep work.

But as always, ymmv. If nothing else works, maybe give it a shot though? Like, straight sets @ 10 reps or whatever.

Full disclosure: I'm not a big lifter, yet.

Have you tried resetting? When I stalled with my MP (twice) at 50kg, I reset it back to 45, progressed using microplates and finally broke through the plateau. Finishing the main workset with an 8 or 10 repper at a lighter (80%) weight as a back off set also helped.
