So, I stalled on 60 kg bench press for 1 month with SS

so, I stalled on 60 kg bench press for 1 month with SS

I switched to PHUL, and after only one month of training, I yesterday did 65 kg 3x5 with proper form.

How do you explain this?

you were doing SS wrong.

adding 5kg to a 60kg bench press in a month of training is slow progress

it's still progress

the only thing I did wrong was not drinking 5 gallons of milk per day, which apparently I did not have to do with PHUL.

You discovered the standard answer to any plateau: Throw more volume and slower progressions at it.

You made all the gains you could make on that program eating what you were eating

1) how long were you resting between sets
2) how much were you eating and sleeping
3) were you doing a shit ton of accessories

1) 5 minutes
2) I am more careful with that now
3) no I wasn't doing any

no, you did a lot more wrong. SS is known to work well, so when people stall at ridiculously low weights it's obvious that they are the problem, not the routine. by switching to a routine with more rest you haven't fixed whatever you're doing wrong, you've just delayed it. you're going to stall again at low weights, and then what are you going to do? hop on an advanced routine with a 80kg bench press and aim for adding 2kg every month?

>2) I am more careful with that now

There's your answer you stupid fucking faggot.

I won't switch, I love PHUL due to the amount of accessories that it has. I did SS for 5 months, my 3x5 bench was 30 kg when I started.

also

>5 minutes

try 6-9 dummy
