hmm lets see today u benched 220x3 and failed the 4th. I am on track to hit 220x3 on the first week of february

did I mension the plan is to bulk for all of this year? bwahahaha

I know I am actually pretty pissed about bench right now. I haven't made hardly any gains over 4 weeks on the Bill Starr 5x5 on bench I think my body was so used to the high volume of smolov that it will take a while to gain on 5x5. Sorry for a little thread jack, but does anyone know if I could do a smolov jr cycle on the bill starr 5x5 and just do that instead of doing the 5x5 bench?

I know but my bench has stayed almost the same and I've been stuck at around 220x3, then 220x4, then back to 220x3. It hasn't gone up in 5 weeks because I was used to smolov jr style.

I had the same problem when switching from 5x5 to 5/3/1 lol. It's kind of annoying how it works like that, almost seems like a 'fake' strength because when you get off the program you get weaker :/

Well I haven't really gotten weaker, I was doing 215x3 and 255x1 when I was doing smolov, so I have gotten a little stronger, but barely at all

You have to add sets to consolidate gains on neural effiency. That's why most strength training methods are about multiple sets with the heavy weights not a just the last set of the 5x5 intermediate scheme.
