A lift that comes up short of its reps does not get more weight, and it does not get quietly dropped either. There is a sequence, and every step of it is printed beside the week it happens in.
The first answer is the same week again. You were asked for a number of reps and did not reach it, so the prescription stands and you get another go at finishing it before anything is added.
The sets came up short of the reps this lift was asked for, at RPE 8. The same week is prescribed again, so you can finish it before anything is added. The load has not moved at 52.5 kg for four weeks, so this lift is offered for a swap rather than another week of the same.
Real engine output, not an illustration. Both rows were produced by running the engine itself when this page was generated.
That is eight weeks of one lift that never finished its reps. When the repeat has been tried and missed as well, the load comes down rather than up, and it lands on a weight the bar can actually be made to hold rather than on the arithmetic. Then it builds back through the same range.
And if it is still stuck
Stuck means nothing moved at all for three trained weeks: not the load, not the reps, not the sets. A week where the first set gets a rep more than last time at the same weight is progress rather than a stall, and it starts the count again. Waiting three weeks is coaching judgment rather than a tested number, and the reason it is not one or two is that a single week of reps cannot tell a real stall from an off day.
If the lift gets stuck again after the reset, the same three weeks with nothing moving, it is offered for a swap. That is an offer rather than a substitution: the movement is yours to keep if you want it. If you keep it, the engine leaves it alone for your next three sessions of that lift and asks once more only if nothing has moved. Keep it a second time and it stops asking, unless the lift moves and later stalls again. Three is coaching judgment, the same count the stall itself uses. The point of raising it is that another identical month is not a plan, it is a lift nobody has looked at.
That is the short version. The whole decision, with the numbers, is in Why you are not progressing.
