    Morning coaches,thanks for the books and changing my life with it,so I have a couple of issues:
    -My squat turns into a goodmornig AND
    -Workouts leave me blasted,and I was thinking that I may have to switch to some more advanced programming beyond LP (Maybe TM)
    My numbers are: 120 kg squat for 3 sets of 5
    Press 46 kg 3x5
    Deadlift 137.5 kg 1x5
    Power clean (yep,I do them) 55 kg 5x3
    Bench Press 3x3 96 kg

    I'm on GOMAD and I sleep 9-10 hours a day(It's summer,and I'm Italian)
    I have been on LP for a little over 12 weeks

    I'm 175 cm,80 kg,16 y/o

    Thanks

    1. Read the sticky. All of it, including the links.

    2. Read this article: The First Three Questions | Mark Rippetoe. Then detail how your approach conforms to the article, and if not, change it so it does.

    3. Your next video will be a much better one than this bad one, because you will have read the sticky, but in the meantime:
    a) Cut off about 3 inches of depth - turn the squat around 2-3 inches higher than you're currently doing
    b) Get yourself tighter before each rep and maintain that tightness throughout. Chest up, back rigid - don't let anything squish or round as you perform your squat.

    Wrong answer. You can do better. Next post, you will.
