Hey I am doing PPL Rest/ Cardio PPL Rest/ Cardio and so on.

Instead of a PPL A and B version I went for only “A” to track my reps better.

I noticed I am just not achieving anything. Monday I did incline bench press (3x8-12) and did 1. Set 14 Reps, 2. Set 12 Reps and 3. Set 9 Reps.

I thought I might go up with weight now on thursday since I hit my rep target in 1. and 2. set.

Instead I wanted to try and get another rep in 1. Set and 2. Set and 3. Set but to my suprising it didn’t happen. My first set today was 9 Reps, 2. Set 6 Reps and 3. Set I had to reduce weight to even get it up.

I recovered (imo) very well. I am off work, was sauna between the days, slept almost 10 hours a day and ate quite a lot (3.1k+ kcal and 200g+ protein every day). No stress at all either.

So I went to the gym today and this just happend. I wasn’t even expecting that much of a crash. My previous plan was even actually increasing weight - thank god I didn’t lol. That would have gone bad.

But now what?

My plan is following: Push:

  • Incline DB Bench Press 3x8-12
  • Seated DB Bench Press 3x8-12
  • Machine Chest Press 3x8-12
  • EZ Bar Skullcrushers 3x8-12
  • V Bar Pushdowns 3x10-15 + 4. Set (50% weight of working weight AMRAP).
  • Cable Lateral Raises 3x10-15 (+ also AMRAP 50% weight)

What am I doing wrong?
