Last Sunday I was so sore…

switching from stronglifts...
I am looking into leaving stronglifts behind and moving on to a new program. Is there any special "transition" phase to do before moving on, or do I just finish up the week with stronglifts and start anew Monday?

hey friends :) Ive been doing 3x5 for the passed few weeks due to fatigue. My squats are now 140(145 friday) and I weigh 129.

when does a deload week become necessary?
I'm new to lifting. Started SL 5x5 roughly 6 weeks ago.. My lifts aren't extremely heavy at this point, but when does my body deserve a break? Just need a little clarification about deload weeks and why they are necessary. Should cardio be avoided during deload weeks? It is still too soon for me to worry about this?
