Hey BBM team,

I’m currently running Phase 2 of the Beginner Template and am really seeing some awesome progress on my bench and deadlift. I’m running the 4th week of the phase on repeat for now. I know in the e-book that came with it that y’all suggest I run the 4th week until my e1RM on at least 2 lifts doesn’t increase, but subjectively I’m feeling worn out on some of the sessions, especially the Day 1 workout. Do you suggest transitioning to the next phase if a client subjectively is feeling like they should change things up a bit with the set/rep scheme or still encourage them to continue with repeating the last week until e1RM decreases on two of the lifts?

Thanks!

Hello! Given that you’re in the stage of repeating week 4 now AND you’re reporting this training “fatigue” (even if it’s a bit more mental vs a physical stall,) I’d have you move on. Often a bit of a change is helpful for many reasons!
