I started FPP with 5 rep max, and here's how my progress goes:
Day 1: 5 4 3 2 1
Day 2: 5 4 3 2 2
Day 3: 5 4 3 3 2
Day 4: 5 4 4 3 2
Day 5: 5 5 4 3 2
Day 6: Rest
Day 7: 6 5 4 3 2
Day 8: 6 5 4 3 3
Day 9: 6 5 4 4 3
Day 10: 6 5 5 4 3
Day 11: 6 6 5 4 3
Day 12: Rest
Day 13: 6 5 4 3 2
Day 14: 6 5 4 3 3
Day 15: 6 5 4 4 3
Day 16: 6 5 5 4 3
Day 17: 6 6 5 4 3
Day 18: Rest
Day 19: 7 6 5 4 3
Day 20: 7 6 5 4 4
Day 21: 7 6 5 5 4
Day 22: 7 6 6 5 4
Day 23: 7 7 6 5 4
Day 24: Rest
You can see on Day 13 I tried to repeat from Day 7 because it took all my effort to do 6 reps .
I'm now on Day 25, but I can only do 7 reps with my max effort. I've tried to make sure I have adequate rest, my rest periods are usually 20 mins, 15, 15, 10 and 5 mins for the last set.
Looking back 6 weeks ago, my progress has been great though, started at 3 max reps, doing GTG for two weeks, and got 5 max reps. Tried to do FPP because it will save more time, but the progress isn't as good as what I've seen from a lot of people.
Can anyone point out what I did wrong? Should I go back to GTG instead?
