Hi anyone on SL 5X5, My first program and I was complaining for 8 weeks the weights were too low. Now its getting too hard at a rapid rate. I have nothing left if I want to try a max lift so I feel I have ended up weaker cos I haven't lifted my heaviest weights in months. Every session starts with 25 squats excluding warm ups so when I get to BP or DL I am struggling to lift 70%/of my former 1rm. Last week was a heat wave and I could not get out of bed for a day after my last work out, brain literally was foggy and muscles rekt. All natural and not in physical prime so 8 weeks in might be starting to tax the CNS too much in recovery. Thinking of ditching program.
Anyone done it strictly as planned with warm up sets and prescribed accessories.
