. . .used to really, really depress me, but I've realized that it works better for me not to be too aggressive with weight-add. Since weight-adds come in intervals of 5 pounds, and I'd really prefer for them to come in intervals of 2 or 3, I prefer to take a weight from extremely challenging, to quite confident before advancing. This usually takes 2-3 lifts (although I was stuck at 65 on the bench press for an inordinate amount of time); even if I haven't added weight, strength build is still evident between adds, and that's pretty amazing.
That all being said, I'm woefully stalled on the squat at 105 lbs, and it's not even a subtly confident 105. It's been a month.
