The challenge is that I don't own 5,10 or 25 lb plates and I'm having a hard time finding them. Specifically MY OHP at 1 plate( 45 lb plates arent 45 lbs so it's not 135) is hitting reps of 13 after 2 weeks back into training. The next jump is to 225. I only have a flat bench, barbell, 6 45 lb plates and a power rack.
I'm hitting a stumbling block on exactly how to make this jump without the intermediate plates.
More reps? Slower reps to increase TUT?
A big issue I see is the neuro adaptation to the new weight with a big jump. I believe my shoulders and tri's can produce the force necissary but I see taking that kind of jump on an OHP as a recipe for injury.
Any advice on how to successfully make this jump?
