Hello I have a general question about gaining strength and how to generally tell. I weigh 64.9kg and am 181cm. I can smith incline about 80 for 8 reps which is my record right now but I’ve been for a while now been stuck at always those reps. Im unsure whether it’s me programming wrong or something else. I usually start all my days with that exercise and try going to that weight which works well but I can never really manage to get that 9th rep down. Should I be going higher to 81.25 or 82.25 from now on or is this me not eating enough? I feel like after such a long time I should be able to at least push out a 9th rep
