Hello again

I went back to eating for strength a few weeks ago, and now I am stuck with my lifts. I cannot get my squat back over 270 x 5.

Likewise, bench and press are stuck. Lots of room to improve my deadlift.

I've also started power cleaning instead of rowing but my form sucks so I have some learning to do there.

Tomorrow I'm going to cut volume and drop weights by 10%. On Monday I'm going to start an intermediate routine described by Mark Rippetoe in Practical Programming for Strength Training called The Texas Method.

Essentially you schedule progress weekly using Volume/Recovery/Intensity days.
