Question
Last workout i broke my 5rm pr for the squat with 125 kg. This was heavy but i made it for 3x5. Today i tried to do 127.5, but my lower back was fatigue as hell so i did 1x4(127.5 kg, 1x5(117.5 kg), 1x3(117.5 kg). I am 95 kg
BW, eating 4400+ cals a day with 300 protein and 451 carbs 140 fat. Sleeping 7-8 hours a night.
Should i try next session 127.5 for 3x5 and after that i will add the light day in? Or should i try 125 again, and then add the light day in for fully recover and hit the 127.5 again afterwards?

I would hit a midweek light day at 100 KG and then go for 127.5 again on your last training session of the week. You may be surprised how strong you’ll feel at the end of the week with the addition of lighter day.

just a thought, I dont know you're age but the older (and maybe taller) you are the truer this advice may be. You mentioned you've already reset squat. You may not be recovering. I had similar problem with squat and switched squats to monday and thursday, I have been able to add weight twice a week because I'm recovering between workouts where I couldnt doing them MWF

Agreed, light day becomes necessary at some point, sounds like thats where youre at. I still had another 40 kg left on linear when i added in the lighter squats, so rejoice you may have a lot left to go.
