Do I lower the weight increases now?
I just finished my 2nd workout on my 5th week of SS. I have been increasing my lifts by 10lbs lower and 5lbs upper. Last week the app told me to start incorporating chin-ups into my workout A routine so I incorporated lat pulldowns because chin-ups are a little too advanced at the moment. Last Friday I got all my reps on all my lifts except for my overhead press where I got 4,4,3. Today I overhead pressed the same weight and got 5,5,3. On the last set I went slower on the eccentric because I have been feeling that for my bench press and overhead press I have been somewhat dropping the weight down rather than being in good control of it. I didn't do a 3 count or anything but just slowed it enough that I was in control the entire time. My squat has been awesome until today I got 4,4,3. I probably could have gotten another one on my last set but I would rather be safer than not get out of the hole. As I said, this is my 5th week. Should I do a deload week then continue? My weights are 80lbs on the overhead press which I failed twice, 205lbs on the squat which I failed for the first time today, 90lbs on the bench press which I got on Monday, and 235lbs on the deadlift which I got today. Should I switch to 5lb increases on my squat and 2.5lb increases on the overhead press, take 10% off and go up again, drop dead lifting 3x/week and start power cleaning (I would prefer to deadlift 3x/week as long as possible), or just attempt the weights again? Something else? Thank you.
