For the past few months, I have been hitting a plateau with some of my lifts. (mainly by bench press)
I do a 4 day split, my workout is 2 days on, 1 day off, etc. I have lowered my rep scheme to about 6 min 8 max reps to try and build some strength. I pyramid up on all of my sets, which I may stop doing that. I change up my routine every 6 weeks.
I track my calories that I eat everyday and actually upped my calories (mainly protein and carbs) the past 3 weeks hoping that would help. I have my diet down on an Excel spreadsheet so I know exactly what I eat everyday. My current split is like this:
Chest
Back
Off
Legs/Abs
Arms/Shoulders
Off
Repeat
I am thinking about going to a full body split for awhile to try and get past this and work every muscle group twice a week like below. (I would do 3 working sets of each excercise) I still need to tweak it, but this is a quick routine I put together.
Day 1:
Flat Bench
Cable Crossovers
Bent Over Rows
Pullups
Deadlifts
Barbell Curl
Skull Crushers
Day 2: Rest
Day 3:
Incline Barbell
Weighted Dips
Military Press
Seated Rows
Squats
Shrugs
Hammer Curls
Pulley Push Downs
Day 4: Rest
Day 5: Rest
Day 6: Repeat
Any thoughts/suggestions on this? THX!
