Long week, forgot to update here. Rest times are all 6-8 minutes now and I felt like it helped a little, as does the belt. I missed squats again last Tuesday, so I'm deloading and I think once I get back up to about 265 I'm going to start incorporating the light squat day (80% of 5RM) in the middle of the week. Bummed about OHP already stopping after the 8 min rest helped me punch through 125. I'm well-rested, well-fed, and I'm resting as much as I need in order to feel recovered, I'm feeling like it might be time to use micro weights for the OHP, much to my displeasure. Also supplementing creatine since last week, figured it couldn't hurt.
