Hello BBM-Team,
what my options when I repeatedly fail to increase my weight on the bar while maintaining the same RPE on a given template?
From the instructions:
“In other words, individuals who are actually getting stronger should be able to increase loads at regular time intervals, e.g. weekly or every other week, without significantly increasing the RPE ratings, reducing reps, cutting the range of motion, or requiring dramatically extended rest periods”
What shall I do if Iam not responding? Is this template specific?
What can I do after completing the bodybuilding template, if hypertrophy remains as my goal?
thanks and cheers
Are you saying that none of your lifts have gotten stronger in the past couple of weeks?
For hypertrophy, it’s not a pre requisite that you’re getting stronger per se’, but it probably still should be happening. Can you clarify?

Yes. At first I was making progress by eventually I was not able to increase the load while maintaining RPE for 3-4 Weeks. But I want to know what options do I have if I wont progress.
To keep it more simple:
- How do I monitor my progress for hypertrophy? Circumference? Being able to increase the weight on the bar?
- When do I need to intervene? Let’s say I havent been able to increase the weight on the bar for couple of weeks. Is this enough? What a good measurement for progress?
- What can I do if no progress is made? How do I adjust the template?
Basically I want to avoid stalling for couple of weeks or months. I want some information about how to avoid lack of progression.
For some reason my replies wont go through after posting the thread
