/fit/ — So am I NOT supposed to be lifting to failure or 1RIR on eve

When was your last deload week?

If you stuck in intermediate while doing 1RIR you aren’t doing 1RIR

>>77325943
I deload every 6-9 weeks, I had one like 3 weeks ago.

>>77325955
No, I really am, in fact, I fully, really fail most of the time.

U fell for the meme.

Never train to failure except on meme isolation cable exercises. The amount of stress and fatigue it adds is never worth it.

It definitely kept me in intermediate hell. I was running a program a few years ago and my app was setup wrong, so I was trying to do a workload completely out of my capacity. My 1rm at the time was around 315 for squats and it was having me so 230 4x10..... I almost grinded it out, had to wait 8 minutes between sets, was shaking between sets, and by the time I finished the 3rd set I was cooked.

It sounds good when influencers say it, but I promise you no one is actually taking every set to failure. Don't train like a bitch, but if you're ending every set shaking on the ground you're going to get cooked and see no gains.

So what are you supposed to do? As I raise the weight Im back to red lining it within weeks. What plans should I look like and how do I keep to like, 2rir and stl follow the plan?

>>77326160
You're just hitting a plateau. You might need to do some adjacent lifts to juice your lifts. Your body has adapted to.your routine.

>>77326160
how else are you progressing besides adding weight?

>>77326160
Are you maintaining? Cutting? Bulking?? That matters a lot.

Also putting weight on the bar will just come a lot slower once you get solid intermediate numbers. On a lift like the bench press, you should be happy to add maybe 5 pounds a month, once you get over 250 as a 1rm. That would make sense as to why you're quickly red lining. You're not a novice anymore..you aren't adding 5 pounds a week to your workouts.

5x5 of 80% 1rm, 5x3 85%, 3x6 75% mix it up n what not..

>1rir
Learn to fail bench by rolling or dumping pl8s
>cns fatigue
Do once or twice a week upper body only no cardio for a while and instead of a reload just stretch. Optimally a deload is doing 1pl8 bench when you can do 3pl8s for reps.

>>77326176
Literally I put 50lbs on my military press and it's just 50lbs on the bench ez.

>>77325969
>low rep failure
Fries cns but if you hit it wicked nasty pump base to add some sets to
>high rep failure
If you're doing 5 reps or more you gotta go to failure or 1rir

>>77325923 (OP)
You aren’t progressing because you either aren’t eating enough, aren’t overloading, or aren’t actually anywhere close to failure

>>77326215
I tryro add weight every week, in between sessions I'll try to add a rep, this is doable for isolations, not so much on compounds

>>77326398
Im. Bulking and I stick to the 5-8x reps in a set with 0-1 RIR.

>>77326432
All false, I am constantly getting heavier, I am literally failing, like people have to rush to get the bar off me for bench, I'm unable to stand on the squat and have to throw it back, and on deadlift I go till I CANT get it over my knees. Im raising the weight every week. Inbetween sessions I try for an extra rep of the same weight.
