    Thank you everyone for the advice! I'm still sticking with the program (on week 8!) but I've done a substantial de-load this last week. I think I need to go back to focusing on my form and quality of my reps and then work myself back up. When I first started, I just kept trying to lift as heavy as I could but my knees and back occasionally hurt and I wasn't increasing my weight each week. With the de-load, my form has been feeling spot on and I just included a few extra reps to get my sweat on.
