ive had this sort of response a few times now. i dont get it - i was doing SL a year ago, did a sort of texas method thing over summer, and have been running candito since october (ie i basically just train for strength). why do people say you should be hitting 1/2/3/4 in a year if people are also saying what ive done, which is significantly less than that, is impossibly fast? it certainly hasnt felt fast, at least not the last few months

>>40315019
It is, but I can do 40 kg for 5 reps. I'd estimate my 1RM for OHP to be closer to 50 kg

My experience is that people just do not know how to ohp properly.
I just passed the 100 score recently.

How the fuck do you break the 100lb weighted pull ups plateau and the 130-145lb weighted dips plateau?

I just can't fucking break it, I have tried concurrent training, block training, more sets for less reps, pyramid, it just doesn't fucking progress

Should i try with other exercises and retry after a month or so?

Dont worry bro you're not alone, same here.
You should increase weight somewhat if you can do over 3x12 easily. Even thats crazy high volume
