Cant recover from 3x5 Squats
Hello,
for the past 2 Weeks I`m experiencing extrem Fatigue from my 3x5 Squats. I dont know if its DOMS, its not the typical soreness you get from a lot of excentric work, but a deep aching, feeling. My Quads, Calves, Knees get extremly stiff, and my Legs in general just feel yery week, and that lasts up to 5 days or so, wich prevents me from Squatting 3x a week. I dont get that exhaustion from Deadlifts or any other excercise but Squats. I increaed my calories a lot since my beginning in March, but i guess i have to increase calories even more. Sleep is around 8-10 hrs a day. Now, in Practical Programming i read that if someone at some point can only do 1 Set of a 5 PR, and the strength drops off, he can do just 1 Set of 5 and the do 2 sets with around 90% of that weight. Would you recommend that to someone like me ? I can do 3x5 with the same heavy weight, but it seems i just cant recover from it at the moment, so i thought maybe that would help, until maybe the increased calories help me recover better and i can go back to normal 3x5.
I`m 5`9
200 lbs
Squat 315 3x5
Deadlift 370x5
Press 135 3x5
Thanks for your time :)
