One question I did have was on the deload. Do you drop the weight 10% after 3 failed attempts at reaching the prescribed reps and sets or do you you drop it if you don't improve 3 times in a row.
e.g.
1. 8,6,5
8,7,6
8,7,7
(deload or not?)
Still improving in reps so no need?

Huh? Was a serious question, I actually don't know the answer to.
I had heard about doing an extra set so that total volume increases but that hasn't gone too well for my bench/sohp plateau. (And I'm eating heaps these days trying to gain and getting my 8hrs sleep/night
9.5 actually last night )
