    Default SQUAT Stalled again after a reset

    I’ve done my first reset on squat
    270-285
    Added 15lbs on my 3 sets of 5, after a FIRST RESET

    Yes i am already doing light day


    Last successful was
    285 x 5 x 3
    2 days before i did light day squat + 330 x 5 Hard grind deadlift

    Today i did 290 x 5,3,2,2,2,1,

    Squat is getting slow and hard 4th and 5th rep of SET 1 , after 10 mins attempt the 2nd set, feeling not good unrack it and i call it a day , just continue got all 15 reps, with 1-2 mins reset in between those doubles and single

    Should i give it one more try 290lbs , after 3 days rest?, once i failed to do 3 sets of 5?
    Or should i do my SECOND RESET still do a 3 x 5
    Or continue to hit a NEW 5 RM + back offs,
    Or reset and do 5 RM + back offs

    You are stuck because you are 6' and 180. You are not doing the program.

    162-180- gained 18lbs in 6 weeks, Does a reset 10% necessary, while doing that trying to get my bw to 200+,

    Stick to heavy squats 3x per week?

    You keep asking questions that are answered in the book you will not read. I guess it's easier to ask us to type that for you to read the book. This is not the purpose of these forums.
