actually, i did the texas method for over 16 weeks and i never had to really reset the weights ever.
u know how i did that? i didnt use percentages. i only used lbs.
SO, i hit my 5x5 max on week 6 - NOT week 4 like everyone else.
also, ur 5x5 max is NOT 85% of ur 5RM. ur 5RM and ur 5x5 are two totally different things. please find ur 5x5 max and scale back 30-35 lbs.
what do u mean by

But... We know that lifting is both physiological as it is psychological... if I add my bench 5 kg, and my squat 7.5 kg, it'll just be good for my spirit, you know? I havn't seen a progress for a long time, and even though I know I should be smart and avoid my feelings and my desire for PR's 'at all costs', I just need these small PR's, like a 'breath of air' to stay in the game for a couple of months from now, you know? Hope you understand what I'm talking about, and don't think I'm such a stupid athelete, huh
