Cut going well. Strength still down.
20 pds down since I started fasting 5 weeks ago.
Last week, tweaked my lower right back, still there. Then something in my right neck too. Over the weekend. Kinda banged up!!
Sunday session I skipped ab wheels to not irritate my back and just did my reverse curls. Stretching n hotshowers are helping. Got some sleep too.
Changed things up a bit to cater to this, goal just hit top set and get out, high rep warmup or cool downs for blood flow instead.

Just finished up writing a weight lifting program. Now im gonna run it.
The idea is that its a 5x5, but you can run it long term.
I took brandy lillys cube method and used his undulation. Where each/day or lift is at a diff. Stressor. Heavy/medium/light. And the rotate each week. Taking 3 weeks to complete the cycle.
I apllied it to 5x5 like this
Heavy-1x5
Medium- 3x5
Light- 5x5
The idea is to still start light, can rep out on top sets, time effective as youll be doing one true 5x5 per session, not 3.
3 week cycles allow for adjustments such as adding more weight or deciding to deload as needed.

Got my 5x5 written. Its in 3 week runs.
Its a combination of ss5x5,rippetoe 3x5 and even the original 1x5. The trick to avoid stalling is i undulated it using The Cube Methods version of undulation.
Cube method has you do all the 3 days at diff. Loads. Heavy/medium/light. It takes 3 week to rotate all days through that cycle. What this does is ensures you only have 1 heavy session each week vs. All on typical periodization programs.
So
Heavy= 1x5
Medium= 3x5
Light= 5x5
So all 3 lifts you do would be at a diff. Load each day whereas in a typical 5x5 all 3 lifts would be 5x5s. A ton of volume that stalls fast.
Bench5x5
Squat5x5
Row5x5
Vs mine
Bench 3x5
Squat 1x5
Row5x5 (rotate eack week for 3 weeks)
I used the same percentages as the cube method as well. Which are low and safe. .65/.70/.80
If you complete all reps n sets over 3 weeks. Add 5 -10 pds and do it again.
I think this is something that woukd work longer term and for intermediates.
Also you have an option to rep out on last set
And on 3x5 and 1x5 weeks theres an option to rep out 80% of your top set.
