Say you are stuck at 3 x 300lb for squats for some time.You just can't progress to 3 x 305lb no matter what.
It may be better to try for 4 x 300lb then 5 x 300lb. After you managed to hit 5 reps,you might find 3 x 305lb a breeze.
Not rocket science nor Weight training's Revelation of the Year,just something which has worked for me,hope it does for you when you are stuck.
Anyone understands the science behind this?
