This is the "First week" of my second part of the Strong Lifts program I am doing. I ratcheted back the amount of weight I was pushing and I'm trying to focus on increasing the weight and reps on my back off sets.
As expected, I completed all of the 5x5 lifts at the reduced weight (duh). I did notice some defects in my squat which I am trying to correct. Surprisingly it wasn't as easy to squat 60kg as I thought. Was I really planning on doing 80kg this week? Hmm.
The only thing I am lacking right now is duration/reps on the back off set. I did 10 reps of each exercise at the backoff weight. I want to 15. I really, really, want to do 30. That's the goal.
