Started HIIT about three weeks ago, and loving it. I do that two of my three cardio days. My weight fluctuates a lot, but I've never crested 170lbs. Right now I'm 5'11" 165lbs. I'm at a plateau I can't get over for the life of me on incline and flat bench (Germ, help me out here, why is this?). I'm doing 5x5s for incline and flat. My flat sets are:
135 (warm-up)
175
195
205
210 (usually only get it up 3 times).
My incline is as follows:
135
145
155
165 (and I can't get past that)
Oh, and I know, I'm a wimp[&o]
I like it
Throw some decline in there also. One thing I do also is I alternate dumbells and bench.

I do 4 days lift two does off.
Day 1 Chest
Day 2 Back/core
Day3 shoulder/legs
Day 4 Arms/Core
Each day I alternate dumbells and machine. This helps not to get stuck in a rut. I also set time limts, I want to be done in 45 mins.
Off days I do cardio.
Another Tip if you want to pack on some muscle take protein at night before bed. Whey Protein is what I like to use.
