    Hello Coach,

    Ive been on SS for a week now. Not really something to be proud of as in accomplishing a week but im getting stronger and thats the purpose of all this. Today, i squatted 3x5 with 95 lbs. However, on each set, i struggled on the fourth and fifth rep. I had done sufficient warm up prior to this stuff. Should i still up the weight on wednesday or should i keep 95 lbs for another workout? Sorry about the fact that i cant post a video. I dont really have a camera.

    Thanks.

    You're supposed to struggle. That's why it's training. Eat and rest, and you'll struggle next time too, but with more weight.

    I'm not sure how much you're stuggling (it should be hard and it'll get harder), but let me pre-empt a potential next post of yours: eat more and presuming your form is fine you'll be good.
