Currently weighing ~211lbs.
Squat 295 -> 345
Bench 255 -> 285
Military press 140 -> 150
BB rows 165 ->185
Deadlift 345 -> 365
Chin Ups bodyweight + 10 -> +25
On some exercises, i'm starting to feel a plateau and some i can keep on going. Anyone else doing this exercise? i'm gona stop doing deadlifts because i feel that my lower back isn't strong enough so i'm gona work on that for a bit and then get back into it and i also switched from military press to db press just because i do mini-push presses when i get lazy lol. post up your results!

switch to a different exercise for the ones that you feel you have plateued on, then come back to it after you have plateued once again
i wouldn't switch out deadlifts for the reason stated above, just keep at 'em and use a weight that you can manage safely... or if you are absolutely certain its your lower back that needs some work, then do rack deads in place of deadlifts and then come back to the deadlift
