Started mid January with an empty bar. I did a little screwing around in the beginning but for the month of February I've definitely been following the program. I know I will be missing 2 days because of a trip I'm taking, unless I luck out and get a workout in somewhere while I'm out of town. I am counting more on eating…

Today I noticed that my weaker arm isn't staying out perpendicular from my torso while I was doing my full weight reps (75lbs) I stalled I may go back to 70 next time to work on form. I stalled out and feel like maybe form was to blame, it's just so hard when you aren't supposed to look at yourself in the mirror.

I went up to 65lbs and was able to do something like 3, 3, 4, 5, 3 the first time at 65lbs so the next time I didn't add any weight, the…

I am on a deficit to lose weight which I have heard can contribute to DOMS. It is nowhere near as bad as it was at first but I am generally always sore from my…

Thanks! That gives me some perspective. I was a bit discouraged until I started making this post and realized that my sleep had been pretty ****ty the last two nights so hopefully next time I will at least get back to what I got the first time at 65lbs.

So then with stalls it is not unusual to stall more the second time than the first? Or is it kind of that I probably still wouldn't have completed the 5x5 this time but with better rest I may have performed more closely t last time. The OHPs are really hard, I'm not surprised to be stalling on them at all!
