Pulled three plates yesterday. Another short term goal accomplished! Four plates next.

I've already failed 3 times. Do I deload and ad a light day Wednesday or just deload and forget the light day?

Example: (5RM 120kg - 10% = 107.5kg)

Monday
Squat 107.5 x 5 x 3

Wednesday...

Had a read.

Shall I add the light day and deload or just deload?

I've searched but I can't find it.

What is the protocol for deloading?

Real bad is a good explination.

Failed again on the third set. I'm loosing tightness at the bottom on some reps, I know. Overall they felt better than last week.

I'm going to ad a light day...

Forget the Aussie's, come to the UK!

So you'd do;

Monday
Squat 3 x 5
Bench/Press 3 x 5
Deadlift/Power Clean

Thursday
Squat 3 x 5
Bench/Press 3 x 5

It doesn't seem an awful lot for someone as strong as you. How many cals per day is this?

Tom, thanks. And thanks for the music suggestions.

How should The Squat "feel" at the bottom? I've been analysing my videos and it seems I get better hip drive with a slightly more knees forward...

Let me ad some more information that may or may not help.

My first ever 3 sets of 5 was 60kg. I worked up to 100kg for 3 sets of 5 during my first shot at LP. At this weight I fkd up a hip flexor...

Missed it again. Got the first two sets. Third set, got two reps and decided it was too heavy -- felt fatigued as hell. I rested 5 mins between sets 1 and 2, 6 mins between sets 2 and 3.

120kg...

It means, please can you check my deadlift.

The deadlift you should be able to see just fine.

Let's look at the 122.5kg sets -- I'm descending too quickly and loosing some tightness at the bottom. I gazed was fixed, my head still tilts down but I'm still looking at the post it note on the bed...

Here's the 120kg sets.

Todays 122.5kg sets.

Fixed my eye gaze. I forgot to film the first set. You'll also note the wreck at the end of the...

Great thread. Change your attitude towards the weight, and life.

Tom, sorry I know you're busy. I squatted 120 for 3 sets of 5 today. It was my short term goal to hit this weight.

I have the video of these sets but I don't see any reason to post them as they...

117.5kg was OK. Some reps were kinda ugly like my 112.5kg sets -- descending too fast I think. I should be ok to move up to 120kg on Monday with some good food and rest this weekend.

I've been descending slower and it's made a big difference, it felt better and lighter than 112.5. Managed to make my rack a little more stable. Noted your advice on training in a gym and it is...

Just watched the video full screen and on the second set you can actually see the front part of my shoe lift up. Also, the first rep of the first set looks bang on to me, knees a touch more forawrd,...
