moving past a sticking point

Should I try mixing up my workout reps/sets, compounds, or diet first? Ive always trained for strength, so I think going to a bodybuilding routine for a few months with high reps (15-20?) may help?
5'11 207lbs. I was up to 213 before carbon depleting and dehydrating for my competition to make weight. And can't seem to put it all back on. But even so, I feel stagnant recently. I've never been concerned with size much, but in last 2 months been trying to gain size.

I quit counting calories after 4000 everyday. I don't eat super clean by any means, but bf isn't a real concern at the moment as long as I don't get just fat. I could probably up my protein intake so more, im only getting 250-280gr a day. Pretty high Carbs though, most days over 550.

Pretty strong, I total over 1500 in big 3 lifts.

1200 test e
900 eq
And I just started tren e at 300
also do 100 test suspension on deadlift days

I want to bring up my chest and traps first. Then arms. My back, legs, and shoulders are solid

Changing your workouts will certainly help. However withe your competitive lifting I don't know if that is a good idea or not. Maybe dec11 will chime in or any of the other power lifters. But the change will work slightly different muscles and different fibers withe the rep change. But for what you do I don't know.

I'm not so sure about going as high as 15-20 reps. To give the joints a break and put on some size why not go to a 6-10 rep range? I'd stay with compound movements. They tend to build size better than isolation movements.

**OnTheSauce** · 10-24-2012, 11:02 AM

Right now I do 3 to 6 reps on compounds. 8 to 12 on isolated . I do both compounds and isolated lifts.

Squats would be like set of 5 while leg press sets of ten
