I am a 15 year old male and I’m 5’9 140lbs. About two months ago I hit my pr on bench of 200lbs, today I tried to do 205 and it moved no differently then it did two months ago. My bench and my squat haven’t seemed to improve at all in the last two months and I’ve only barely improved on other exercises. I have been doing the same workout routine for about 4 months.

(Also I know there’s not a 6th day)

First thing I want to say is that I do go to failure on every set of every exercise I do. Also I have started to bulk and I’m actually gaining weight pretty fast but my overall question is how do I start improving again? Looking at the speed I’m gaining weight I don’t think I need to eat any more than I am right now. From looking at other threads I was thinking I should probably change my routine. What are some other PPL x Arnold routines I could do to start improving again or do you think it’s something entirely different. Also know that I go to a planet fitness so there may be some machines that aren't there.
 
@laluz12 Maybe stick to a PPL(I’m not a pro tho) and don’t go to failure to every set you do. 2 sets to failure per week per muscle group is enough I think
 
@laluz12 Plateaus happen. When I get them it's time to switch things up. I recently did a three week high reps workout: 20 reps, 3-4 sets. Just this week I changed to slow reps (5 seconds down).

I'm gonna bench 400 next month...
