I’m currently cutting and following the workout below however, I’m staying on the same weight until I start my bulk as I can’t progress in weight.
I’ve was following this program when I was bulking also and I found it difficult when I added weight, barely or even failing to get out all the reps on each set. What do I do? I was thinking of adding a rep each session then after 3 sessions, add weight. I need some help.
Also, Is it okay to change tricep pull downs with dips & romanian deadlifts with good mornings?
The workout:
“You’ll add 2.5KG to all your upper body lifts & 5KG to all your lower body lifts every 2 weeks. After 1 week increase reps by 1 each set.

You would follow the reset protocol which you mentioned before you never do. Try following it correctly before trying to make program changes.
I wouldn't do the tricep switch, thats changing an isolation for a compound exercise. The RDL for goodmorning switch is probably fine but if your issue is not knowing how to hip hinge then you're going to run into all the same problems with a good morning except now the bars sitting near the back of your neck.Bench: 365
Squat: 495
Deadlift: 535

When I start my bulk, I’ll follow it as it says and see how it goes again with the progressive overload.
I’ll keep the tricep pull downs then. And regarding the Romanian Deadlifts, I find it difficult to feel the stretch and consistently feel it, I only feel it abit when the bar goes as low as the floor. Don’t know if that’s when your meant to feel the stretch on the hamstrings. I feel the stretch way more on good mornings when I go just below parallel to the floor.Last edited by Cautious1; 08-12-2020 at 12:21 PM.

Don't change protocols or make decisions base off diets, now, if you need to make adjustments because of a **** day or week that's fine, but that's not presuming ahead of time thta you are going to perform worse, you might not. In fact you probably shouldn't as a novice
