3 hoursadaw1 (1): Hi all! I'm new to this forum. Hope this is a good place to post this. I know this is a common question - but I feel having some opinions other than my own would be useful. I've been working out seriously for about 3 years now, and have made some decent progress for sure (progress pic attached below). I've been cutting for two-three months since June/July and I've plateaued hard now. It wouldn't be so frustrating if it weren't for the...

3 monthsframe (73): aha, I see the point, intermediate progression is purely for strength progress then, or if chosen for hypertrophy goals then other exercises for same muscle have to go up in volume which also complicates a program quite a bit, but still may be useful if strength gains plateaued for longer period of time..
