Maybe it’s just me, but do you plan on changing your rep range or adding anymore weight to the lifts? It seems like you’ve been using the same weights forever (as in poundages). Maybe it’s part of your planning though, I’m not sure. Are you just maintaining while you’re in SPP?

I’ve actually been increasing my weights-just slowly-More specifically, I increase the weight on my bench press after I can do a strong first set of 8-for example, this week I finally put up 200lbs for 8 reps on my first set, so next week I’ll start at 205lbs and see what I get-it creates a domino effect since I do 4 sets. I’ll start w/205, then do 210, 215 and 220

As for squats, I’ve actually moved up my weights quite a bit from where I began this year. I’m doing 295lbs for 3-4 reps on my final set whereas earlier in the yr I remember being around 275lbs for 3-4 reps. Also, I was starting with a set of 230lbs for 8 reps, now I’m starting at 260lbs for 8.

So, overall, I can tell I’ve made some solid strength gains-Bench Press just takes longer for me to improve than squats for whatever reason-

WRCortese5, did u have any specific suggestions?-or did I answer your questions?
