So I've been doing the sample 3x5 program in the book "starting strength" for 5 weeks now. I'm loving this simple but effective routine and have gained 15 pounds already
However, this last week my squats have stalled and my sleeping has been a little erratic. What do you guys suggest I do to keep my progress going? What would be the most optimal way to switch up my routine?
I was thinking dropping all my lifts down 20 pounds and working up again. But this time do ramped sets on monday, light squats wednesday and then go for PR's on friday, also with ramped sets.
