When someone stalls out, the first thing that needs to be checked is diet. If diet is good, the second thing that needs to be changed is routine structure. Sweeping changes are often needed every 4-12 weeks for most guys unless you are on a conjugated periodized routine (Westside, MM, JA), or another form of rotation such as waved volume, DC training, or other rotational format. Once that is done, if it doesn't get back on track, the first logical thing to do is cut back the volume, and perhaps overall workdays/frequency. Most guys do the opposite and add a bunch of shit and end up stuck again. If the lower volume works, you can always add additional sets/lifts and find the point where performance falls off. But starting too high and working down is fools work.
