Thanks!
Pushing too hard over time just makes me a aching mess. Loving juggernaut for the way it instead promotes a steady and measured progress.Another question, for all of you; I'm in a slightly frustrating place w my bench/chest. Where I am at now, with 1RM just a smidge over BW, feels easy. And I recover quickly.
So one would think it's a sign that I should increase the numbers. But not far above my current 1RM I am unable to even move the weights.
My current solution of sorts is to add second, but simplified, chest day a week. Basically only mirroring the main bench lift on chest day. No idea if this is the way forward or not.

Repeat the cycle and your can adjust the numbers as your strength improves .
There's generally only two reasons you stall on a good programme :
Insufficient rest / sleep
Poor nutrition
Sometimes on Juggernaut if you push your AMAP sets too much in the early waves you can also burn out a bit on the final two waves . Going too close to failure will throw a spanner in the works when trying to gain strength .
