    Week Four has been terrible. Been doing it over 2 weeks due to illness.

    Can't remember what my squat went like on Day One. I think it was 140kg for 3x3. Bench was 85kg for 1x4 and 3x5, which I was pretty happy with, I guess. Deadlift was 1x2 at 170kg, which was a load of bollocks. Most of this is my own fault tbh though. Nutrition has been poor and I haven't really been looking after myself so the illness could really have been avoided.

    Also, my lower back doesn't want me to squat anymore. Ever since I lost all the weight earlier this year, I've been pushing to get strength back up (went from 140kg squat in March to 165kg in September). It's been tough and it's been rewarding. But I think my back is urging me to dial it back for a month or two. I'm gonna see how next week's squat session goes and let that decide. If it's unreal, the following week will decide. If it's awful, I'm gonna just cut it for a while.

    After reading your FB post earlier, I think I will! Any recommendations for starting %ages?

    70% 5x8+
    75% 5x6+
    80% 5x5+
    85% 5x4+
    90% 5x3+
    95% 5x2+

    ...then do it all again with 5kg more, and retest. You should be trippling (and more) the starting 1RM inside of the 10-12 weeks.
