if you want to continue on with your 5x5 program then maybe step back 5-15lbs and progress from there again. this is called deloading. or else just change it to a 3x5 program like what I'm doing.
i find myself not linearly progressing as much anymore. i hit 235lb squat 3x5 monday and haven't had the intensity/balls to go up another 5lbs so i just did 225lbs for reps today. actually didn't feel as easy as it did a week ago.
diet and sleep has been complete crap this week and i felt it.
on the bright side i got a new PR for deadlifts. 245lbs for 3 reps.
still not improving on bench
wth is wrong with me
