Waterbury taught that weight was not the only variable you could influence each set to lead to better gains.

Try adding an additional rep until you get to a point that you feel that weight can move up.

Maybe somebody else has a different idea but that is what I've done in the past.

You could shorten the rest periods too.

Just now got to check it out. Nice work. You post the log in here or put it in the dedicated section.

Is there cardio in the first phase? I noticed that you didn't appear to be doing any.
