Well that sucked.
Top strength on Bench was completely flat for the 2nd week in a row, but this time back-off set strength nose-dived after the first set.
I then backed way off to see how Close Grips were going to go, and the back-off weight ended up being the work weight.
Sleep hasn't been great this week, so maybe there's a recovery issue. Looking back at the last year+ of training with Emerging Strategies, I've never had two lifts plateau in week 4. This is really throwing a wrench into the experiment of doing back-to-back, 4-5 week "greatest hits" blocks. When I started this experiment, I told myself I would switch to Phase 2 if two lifts plateaued or regressed in Week 4, but I didn't really expect it to happen. On the other hand, it might be fun to have different stuff to do next week....
