Do or do not, there is no try (my path to…….)

Didn't you start out with 135kg 5x5 last year? How's your squat progressing while on TM?

Actually started TM July last year with 112.5 for 5x5 squat. This was based on an estimated 5x5 max of 120. Got upto 147.5 5x5 in December but then decided to cut a bit in the new year and switched my programming. Faffed about until April 2012 then started 531, just about to start the 8th cycle and only had to reset on press so far.
