If you're having a lot of trouble recovering and grinding through 3 days per week of adding 5 lbs to your 3x5 squat, then switching to increases twice a week is fine.

When to progress to advance novice
Currently running SS. Hitting prs on squats now (335x5,5,5) and today 340x5,5,4. I feel I would benefit from progressing to a light squat day as outlined in PP advanced novice. Should I do this now, or continue linear progression with attempts at 340 again or reset etc. basically---is it ok to go to advance novice with a light squat day even without having reset my squat stalled out on it. Thanks.

I also just noticed you posted this question three times. Don't do that, David.

And now I noticed you also posted the question down in Andy's programming forum. I'm locking this thread. Might want to read some of the stickys about the way things work around here before you annoy us too much to answer your questions.
