Now it seems that I’ve hit a brick wall and 315 isnt even moving that good. I’m struggling to get the weight up consistently and I’m confused why? My diet has gotten better since my 1RM, my other PRs are making good progress, and my workouts have been going smoothly. Do have any advice on what I could try to get through this brick wall or any idea of why this is happening?Thanks for listening!
