I.. I failed my 5x5 squats today /fit/ hold me ;_; How was your day?

Hey so when this happens drop the weight and do hypertrophy work for your legs for 2-5 weeks and try again. Do not attempt every week or you'll risk no growth or injury

>>41759938
Recycle the week or I believe st recommends dropping to 3x5 if you keep failing.

This is horrible advice. Please never post here again.

>>41760289
i thought so too, is there like any minimum weight when i should drop to 3x5?

>>41760289
I mean if they want to be working at their failure point for multiple weeks they'll be constantly beyond MRV and will never recover. Rest for growth.

>>41760328
Probably between 85% and 95% of what you failed

>>41760328
When you fail the same weight multiple times you drop to 3x5 you don't actually change the weight.

>>41760674
Read above. Only the sets change not the weight. Cause it assumes you are failing on the 4th or 5th set.

Ya if you're an advanced lifter. This dude is doing SL. That's beginner gains 101. He'll be fine as long as he's eating and sleeping.

>>41760708
If he's failing sets 4 or 5 increased rest time between sets may be the answer actually

>>41760742
im already resting 5 mins

>>41760742
Stop posting cause you have no idea what you're talking about.

>>41760767
Drop to 3x5. What weight are you squatting dude?

>>41761029
75kg today. last time, 2 days ago, 72.5kg felt pretty doable, not sure what happened

>>41761081
You need to eat more. That's still light.

>>41761081
Are you doing Stronglifts?
How much do you weigh?

>>41763632
SL+ some 3x8 exercises.
250 lbs weight ;_;

also if anyone is still reading this: i struggle having a straight 8-9hours sleep since i sometimes wake up after 6h and start sleeping again for 3-4h after taking a piss. maybe breaking "no-fap" yesterday had an effect on it too?

did 3x5 squats 20kg for the first time
babby steps but I'm out there
