Also, you’re not clear as to your lifting schedule leading up to 280 again.

Squat stuck on 280lbs?!
The other week I deloaded my squat from 280 lbs to 230 lbs, after I struggled to complete the reps with that weight, and worked back up in 20 lbs increments each workout, before getting back up to 270 lbs adding 5 lbs from there on. Just last workout of last week I squeezed out 3x5 with 275 lbs.
I plan on doing a lighter squat day on the middle workout due to the increasing weight.
However, today I was only able to achieve 5 reps with 280 lbs the first time then I could only squeeze out 3 then 1.
I don't know if it was just down to an "off day", since my bench press sucked as well, I could only do 3x3,3,2 with 210 lbs when I achieved 3x5 last time.

Sorry. Lols. I was too busy explaining the situation that I forgot to actually ask the question.Originally Posted by Steve Hill
Based on what I explained in my last post, I'm basically asking how do I overcome this apparent plateau?
I'm currently on Phase 3 of SS, and this week plan to make the middle day a "light squat" day, but even still, at this rate its taking me a few workouts to achieve 3x5 with the next 5lbs up from whatever I achieve 3x5 with. If that makes sense.
