5x5 plateau help

[robigd]

In general, how many weeks do you expect to keep advancing in the 5x3 workout once you plateau in the 5x5? I have been on the 5x3 workout for only a couple weeks since I plateaued on the 5x5, and already feel another plateau coming shortly. I am tempted to do 3x3's after this.


Any suggestions?

I think I was doing the 5x3 for a few weeks(2 or 3, muscle worked every 5 days) before switching back to the 5x5....

I will say though that once you plateau on 5x3 and go back to the weight you were stuck at on 5x5 you will almost certainly get all of the reps..
