Should you work through soreness? Your body is telling you no more but a trick is to lower the weight by 40 pounds and do your squats. it will make you feel better trust me. It will pump blood to your muscles helping them recover. |

What's the minimum amount of strength training that will yield a measurable benefit? If you ever read practical programing you'll understand that 5x5 or texas method is a more advanced program from mark rippetoe and moving to 3x5 program wouldnt do you any good. |
