    Thanks for the replies. I will look into/try some of the ideas you have suggested.
    I will also be dropping to 2 days a week of weights and one day of yoga (the strength kind not the relax kind). I went to yoga today after not being there since I started weights and it reminded me that it was good for me. I know I will be more sore tomorrow from yoga than I have been yet from 5x5.

    Stuff like Yoga (or equivalents) is a good yin to the yang of heavy lifting. It'll keep you (joints, soft tissue, etc) healthy while you pursue strength...

    1) Learn to power clean (if you can't already).

    2) Front squat the weight.

    3) Badassery ensures...

    I love this! I have a shoulder injury so have been doing front squats for about a year. I didn't realise I was being badass but it's good to hear!
