    Hi.

    Instead of doing a reset, would it be a good idea to change from a 5x5 progression to 4x4 and then to 3x3 so you can go on with LP?

    My other idea would be 3 steps forward, 1 step backward with the weight. Example: 225-230-235-230-235-240-235-240-245...

    Anyone tried something like this before?

    What program are you currently running? Are you squatting 5 x 5 thrice weekly?

    I do one major lift a day, 4 days a week. Monday bench, Tuesday squat, Thursday press, Friday deadlift. All 5x5 except deadlift.

    That answer would be good for 99% of the questions on the forums...

    When you crush a PR, you gotta rattle the plates at the top.
