Well, remember that even if you're adding a pound a week you're still doing well. But, if you've stalled for more than a couple of weeks, I'd say try doing a bit of a strength program, aiming for heavier weights with reps in the 4-6 range, easy on the shocks, moderate on sets. It's about the opposite of what you are doing now, so it's sure to bring on the pain in a whole new way. Try it for a couple of weeks just to screw with your nervous system! Or maybe just 2-3 weeks of "weird yet effective" exercises... Squats on a Bosu ball, Cable Bench Press, stability ball pushups, cable deadlifts, ending a set up military presses with throwing a medicine ball up in the air (from hand to hand), jump squats... etc. Just do a few weeks of totally new exercises, even ones you don't use up in the tabs. Also, remember that shocks are hugely useful, but it's also good to change things up by doing a couple of cycles without shocks. Good luck! [/ QUOTE ] Thanks for the advice man! I just hope people will understand when they see me in the gym tossing a medicine ball around.... Ill try some heavier weights and moderate set amounts tonight for chest.
