How to Progress
[tabl caption=”” width=”100%” colwidth=”100″ colalign=”left”] InstructionsEvery time you complete Workout A then add a total of 2.5 lb to the bar for the next workout. If 2.5 lb is too light you can increase by 5 lb at a time. [/tabl]
What if I am stalling?
[tabl caption=”” width=”100%” colwidth=”100″ colalign=”left”] InstructionsIn the intermediate stage of training you may start having difficulties adding 2.5 lb each workout to your push press. This is nothing to worry about and in fact is a good thing. It means your body has adapted to a fairly simple routine and now needs a change so that you can keep progressing. To allow for the progress you’ll switch from a 3×5 to RPT. You’ll know when to switch to RPT when for 2 push press workouts in a row you either cannot complete all 15 reps or cannot complete all 15 reps with good form.
