Here are my numbers when I first got my rack and started a different program:

Bench: 135 -> 165
Incline: 115 -> 135
Squat: 225 -> 275
Shoulder Press: 75 -> 125
Trap Bar: 275 -> 285
T-Bar Row: 70 -> 85

Its hard for me to progress with my bench and squats without 5s and unfortunately there's no more space on my hex bar to add more weights. Also seem to be stalling on my OHP.

I do a reverse pyramid so I am making progress and gains. I used to do a PPL with straight sets, and I never thought I could squat more than 185 and I was happy as shit once I hit 225. Should clarify that with the combination of plates I have at home its hard for me to make the next level without 5 lbs plates. 10,15,25,35,45s. The jump from 15 - 25 is too big of an increment for me in some cases.

Have you been changing things up?

You body does what is called Adaptability, which means that after 3-4 weeks of doing the same things it has adapted to those stresses and you won't get much benefit out of it. You have to implement Variability in order to continue progressing, changing things up.

that's why you add weight...
 
Never had issues with adding weight. If you wanna switch things up that’s a different story but you don’t “peak” just cause you’ve been doing the same exercise. Sounds like broscience.

There is centuries of science behind the limitations of doing the same science.

The inverse to your statement is true, in regards to broscience. :twofinger
 
The real question is: should I workout today or should I not? Boxing is tomorrow which is brutal. I’m leaning toward working out since tonight is also the Feast of San Giuseppe and we’re doing Italian food, also Fogo De Chao for a birthday thing tomorrow night... shit, I better workout.

*EDIT: I decided not to workout:laughing

TODAY’S INSPIRATION

Dick Hoyt. Passed this week at 80.

He first pushed his son, who is quadriplegic and has cerebral palsy, in the Boston Marathon in 1980. Dick and Rick, in a specialized wheelchair, completed 32 Boston Marathons and 2 Hawaii Ironman Triathlons together, until Dick, citing health issues, retired in 2014.

2.5 hours of boxing with some sparring.

I think coaching is getting to me because I find myself helping the younger fighters while sparring with them. I did mess up a kid’s face (and kid I mean 19yrs old) but it’s never the point to bloody up a sparring partner.

Been studying Bruce Lee’s philosophy about deception. The kid is strong, like really strong, but I’m teaching him tactics via looking for patterns, and capitalizing off his opponent’s pattern, or making them fall into patterns.

I did get clipped a few times, but nothing serious, but I did get hit with a body shot that’s kinda bothering me. I feel sorry for anybody who tangles with the fighters we have coming up.

Of course, my students will be some to contend with. I’m hoping tournaments start soon because my kids want to get some!

In wrestling, boxing and tournament fighting the best tool was always learning their telltales then exploiting them. It's and extremely rare wrestler/fighter who doesn't have telltale habits that, to an observant opponent, telegraph what they're about to do.

When I wrestled, I used to watch my next opponent and use their go-to takedown on them, I also knew what their first move was likely to be from top and bottom. People are far more predictable than they realize.
 
Did squats on Friday after a two and a half week break. Was so sore yesterday I felt like crap all day. Still sore today but at least I feel okay.
