Seems like no matter what I do, I cant progress past ~250lb. I'll go real heavy for a few weeks and just do sets of 1-3.. maybe 5 sets total... or go real light for a while and rock AMRAP for maybe 8-10 sets.
I'm struggling because I feel like there's no real substitute for squats. With bench, I can go do dumbbells, switch grip position, or change angle. With squat, the only other choice is.... squat. Leg presses just aren't the same and I only really do them if I want to target the outer quad specifically, because it's easy to leg press with your feet extremely close together.
Seriously, I've been stuck on this weight for such a long time, it's really pissing me off.
