Similar situation here. Since aI dont have enough plates to keep progressing on the DL, my plan is to get to 1/2/3/4 for 3x5. Good or bad idea?

No one on fit lifts i guess.

I'm gonna try the rep route and see where it gets me. I don't really need to be huge in my profession, but endurance and a strong CNS does.

No continue to add weight on. 1/2/3/4 is average for a gym goer and far below average for those that actually lift with any frequency. I'm at (almost)2/3.5/4.5/6+ and I still won't settle for reps (in the chasing hypertrophy sense). I'm convinced that the best route for natties is to pursue strength. Size and strength aren't as mutually exclusive as /fit/ would leave you to believe

1/2/3/4 for 1RMs is a good goal, but once you reach you want 3x5. The way to accomplish that is by lift heavier on your work sets until you reach 1/2/3/4 for reps.

If you're doing 4 plate for 1 rep you still have quite a ways to go. Go for 1x5 but if you're already there, buy more weights.

I'm at
2.5/4/5.5/6.5

I do reps instead.
Honestly I did reps since I hit what OP did, just adding weight every time I felt like it, for 2 years.
Worked just fine.

Nope. Stop right there, you made it. 1/2/3/4 is all you ever need. Now you can do isolation pump work of 20+ reps for dem aesthetics brah

So you're basically the strongest person on /fit/?

I guess I could say I've been doing reps since Sheiko calls for so much volume but my primary goal is bigger numbers

I hit 1/2/3/4. I stopped doing strength and just went on to hypertrophy, which is far more efficient now than when I was a weakling with sub-500 total. I did try to continue strength, but the gains are ridiculously slow now which is why I'm tackling size currently.

After ~8 months of hypertrophy do strength for 2 months then take a week off. Cycle that 'till you die.
