End of the Press LP?
You cannot finish the NLP weighing 182 lb for 6 feet. You will get 200 lb of BW or even 220. And probably you could finish with a 75-80 kg press.
Tell us what are you eating. I guess you are eating few calories. Believe me, the NLP eating poorly and the NLP eating like 4000-5000 calories a day are two very different things.
I am eating around 3700 calories, i guess i have to bump it up around 5000, rather than that just do the work,
Sir mark just a quick question,
I have workouts like this on 2 of my LP lifts
Example
### x 5 , 5 4
### x 5 , 3 , 2 (same weight)
Third workout ### x 4 , 3 (same weight)
Provided that eating and sleeping correctly, with the use of proper weight increment
It’s a kind of frustrating
How should i do my next workout?
Thankyou so much,
Also lately i have been experiencing lowback fatigue specially on my Squats and DL, and slight shoulder soreness, when pressing,
Does this need a reset 10%?, to get a little break from very hard training, i know it’s supposed to be hard, but now it’s “very hard”
You're not listening.
If it were me, I'd re-read the book and take notes!
I would add that if your serious about progressing, you should get a coach.

From my experience, LP doesn't end until much later than most people expect. Someone good with programming can help you navigate through the process of later LP.
JMHO
Reason why i am “underweight for a 6’0” i have done wrong cutting 190 to 160, as i have corrected it, now i want to get strong, i have regained almost 25lbs the at weight i loss,
While gaining that bodyweight i started SS, dropping all unnecessary accessories, and focus on the program,
Update on the workout

Just to make the workout good
Today
165 x 4, 4
Again
I just did
160 x 5
162.5 x 5
Just want to get my sets of 5,
What would be the clear explanation for this? Am i stuck, undertraining aka ( not enought adaptation to drive progress) ? or not recovered?
Should i reset or moved on?

You aren´t doing the program. Do the NLP at 5x3, alternating with the bench press; like it´s estipulated in the book. Make 5 lb increments on the press, when you can no longer hold those increments, start doing increments of 2-2,2 lb. When you can no longer do these increments, start doing intermediate programming. Eat at least 4000 calories with 2,5 g of protein each kg of BW.
