Hey bros,
The situation is that I have been stuck using the same weight for DB Press, and incline DB Press for weeks now. Some weeks I get an extra rep, other weeks I am down a rep or two from normal. I just don't get it. I'm up 8lbs from when I first started being able to do 10 reps with these dumbells. My deadlift has gone up 100lbs during this time, but my chest strength figures have stayed largely the same. :frustrate
Here are a few of the things I have tried:
-alternating bench press & DB Press every other week.
- doing a heavier weight for less reps.
-Incorperating cable chest exercises
- Incorperating DB flyes
Nothing has yeilded a tangible increase. I have not been getting the best amount of sleep lately (~6 hours), but if sleep was an issue would I be up 8lbs and up 100lbs in my deadlift 1RM?
I consider myself a "powerbuilder", but I thought I would see if you strength junkies had any ideas how to break through this bull**** I am enduring. FYI, I am 20 years old, just taking Creatine & multivitamin. No AAS / PH usage EVER.
