Interesting how quickly Bench and Deadlift top-end strength is plateauing with this low volume "maintenance" approach following two dedicated blocks. This is only the third block trying this set up where slot 2 is medium stress maintenance + hypertrophy, and slot 3 is low stress maintenance.
Results over the last two blocks were mixed, with the first block showing generally very good results for the lifts that weren't the block focus, and the second block having poorer results. But on average, I showed improvement on the non-focus lifts within each of the 2 blocks, and even the poorer, 2nd block averaged an increase on those lifts.
Inter-block is a little bit of a different issue as I had generally poor results coming out of the pivot into Block 17, so although there was good improvement within the block, some of the non-focus lifts ended up with a lower Peak e1RM than in the previous block (Dips and Squats). Anyway, just something I'm keeping an eye on.
SSB Pause Squats still feeling really good.
