@visakanv@JHunterUnited@eli_schiff Ah that makes sense. It's the first genetic limit you hit if you're training everything harmoniously.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@JHunterUnited @visakanv @eli_schiff See which measure plateaus first. If squat, deadlift, bench, v. jump, maybe v. jump plateaus first
