Ah, not again..

[leatherface]

Ah geez, as if this couldn't get any worse. Not only is my bench pretty stagnant, but today I did deadlifts for my main ME move for the first time and I could barely pull 365! I pulled 365 2 months ago, and since then my form has got so much better as well. I dont know what it is, i really like the WS concept but 2 of the 3 main lifts aren't going anywhere!

Where are you failing on your deadlift?

 

[louden_swain]

time for weak point training!

 

[spatts]

Yep, yep!

 

[coolcolj]

maybe he's not recovering - plateaus usually point to something like that if the training was sound.

 

[spatts]

Very possible. I rely on active recovery. It's also not uncommon for new(er) people to do too much. They try to make DE day a damn-near ME day. That's a good way to burn out fast.

 

[coolcolj]

I think you may try halving the volume on the DE days.

better to do less than more and see how you go

hey i know how u feel broly. i did box squats last week for the first time in 10 weeks for ME day. i could only get 265 10 weeks ago i hit 295 i was like wtf. thsi week i did them again and coulnt push 280 up. makes no sense but i did get to 275 today so i am up from last week. but my overall full squat has gone from 275-350 so i dont get it and my dead is up 100 pounds itself. my bench is doin liek u siad to i am losin out on ME moves but the differnece is my full bench has risin makes no sense to me. just find your weakness and work on it should help u out. adn i think that recovery issue is on point. try lowering vilume on de it helped me.

Well I put 360 up, and had a little trouble locking out at the top. 365 wouldn't even budge off the ground though. I think half of the reason was b/c i was VERY frustrated after realized that 360 was alot harder than it should have been. I'm not sure what the problem with my bench/DL is, I post my routines, my diet is good, I consume enough protein, i get enough sleep, i take vitamins, i take everyone on this board's advice. So I have no idea what it is. I'm lost Lifting is like the ONE thing i have in life so when it goes wrong, i just get all depressed and pissy. Blah.

The only other thing I can think of is to start doing flat bench and DL every week again or something. I know I upped my weight about every week when I did that, and now that I'm not doing them often anymore, they aren't moving. Just not sure what to do.
