5'7", 170lbs, 12.5%bf. 15.25" arms, 42" chest.

I have had the same numbers on Chest & Back (any all other routines for that matter) for nearly 2 years. I follow the workouts to a T, have a better diet than probably anyone you've ever met, but I'm plateaued.

DIET:I eat about 150-200gm protein a day, 200gm carbs (50-80 from fiber), and 70-100gm fat a day, mostly from almonds, olive oil & salmon. I eat about 2200-2600 calories a day. I eat about 12 servings of low-carb, fibrous vegetables (spinach, broccoli, cucumber, bell pepper, mushroom, collard & kale greens, etc). I eat almost no breads, grains, starches of any kind. I eat only lower-carb fruits such as berries (tons of blueberries). I get my protein from actual meat (vs. over-relying on whey).

To provide specifics, here are my numbers for the Chest & Back routine:
01 Chest - Standard Push-Ups: 35-40
02 Back - Wide Front Pull-Ups: 11-12
03 Chest - Military Push-Ups: 15-17
04 Back - Chin-Ups: 10-12
05 Chest - Wide Fly Push-Ups: 25-30
06 Back - Close Grip Pull-Ups: 10
07 Chest - Decline Push-Ups: 17-20
08 Back - Heavy Pants (I substitute barbell rows) 135lb x 10reps
09 Chest - Diamond Push-Ups: 14-16
10 Back - Lawnmowers: 90lb dumbell, 10 reps each side
11 Chest - Dive Bombers: 10 reps
12 Back - Back Flyes: 20lb dumbell, 12 reps
13 Back - Wide Front Pull-Ups: 8-9
14 Chest - Standard Push-Ups: 25-30
15 Back - Chin-Up: 7-9
16 Chest - Military push-up: 10-12
17 Back - Close Grip Pull-Up: 6-7
18 Chest - Wide Fly Push-Up: 18-22
19 Back - Heavy Pants (I sub barbell rows): 135lb x 8-10
20 Chest - Decline Push-Ups: 10-11
21 Back - Lawnmowers: 90lb x 9-10rep
22 Chest - Diamond Push-Ups: 9-11
23 Back - Back-Fly: 20lb x 10rep
24 Chest - Dive-Bomber: 8-9 rep

Sorry for the long exhaustive list but I wanted to show that I have been tracking religiously.

What can I do to break past these numbers?
Even 1 additional rep on each exercise would be phenomenal!

Intensity is not the problem: I know how to find actually physical failure (vs. mental failure). I lifted weights for years so I know when I'm actually failing (and I'm failing at the same point again and again).

Not sure what to do at this point...

i plateaued during p90x as well and it was only after i took a week-long break with zero exercise (and a clean diet, of course) that allowed me push past the plateau. i think my muscles were burnt out and needed that rest period.

have you taken a break longer than the program's allocated time?

while it's good to stay active, sometimes over training your muscles can be the one thing that's preventing you from getting over that hump. food for thought.

try P90X2
