What do you do when you hit a plateau? I've been using

in for answers

im assuming i should:

deload
bulk
creatine

Yes, deload if you feel beat up, else up the volume

>>40692841
please tell me that image is incline bench press
>bring the bar down on your neck

>>40692870
yeah i do feel beat up. probably because im cutting and slightly over training so im gonna take a day or 2 off (i go every day natty)

so volume is a good plateau breaker?

Eat more dumbass.
Sleep.

You're probably just not eating enough.

>>40692841
Bump the weight up even if it means less reps. You'll get stronger, bench is probably the most stubborn too

>>40692885
Well if you're cutting, your strength gains won't go up much

Try resting more, did wonders for me

I usually do a dumb megabulk to break plateaus, usually just up my daily calories to 4500+ for two weeks. Has helped me so far, I also deload 20-25% if I get past the plateau and then work up to it.

Also definitely recommend getting some 1.25 lb plates
