About me: 24M around 199cm 95kg currently doing 9 reps of BW+15kg pull-ups.
I started the Fighter Program at 4 reps, and have followed it to the letter, with an occasional extra day off, the start was difficult but I managed to make progress completely according to the plan.
When I got to my 9th rep week, the 9th rep was pretty difficult to reach, I'd feel out of breath and weak by the time I reached it but I managed to finish the week same as any other.
However when it was time to do 10, and I took an extra day off just in case, I found that I simply couldn't do it, which I wasn't completely surprised by but it sure put me out of it. I have since repeated the week and after that didn't work I started doing just 5 AMRAP rests with a day rest between each workout, nothing is working.
I don't think its fatigue, since I have taken several rest days and generally feel pretty good to go every time I work out, but reaching the 9th rep set after set for 2 weeks now without any progress it is starting to erode my confidence and motivation.
Do I up the weight to say +20kg to bring my reps down and start all over? Do I need to rest even more? Do I need more volume? I have no idea where to go from here.
