im not sure and perhaps im wrong but Hopper, arent you loading the bar VERY aggressively. as in, you add 5 lbs every session once you hit your target set-rep combo?
Yeah I am/was loading aggressively, but the purpose of this reset was to address a few form issues,todays 105kg was my last weight on volume day, which I could only manage 4s with,I will increase in much smaller increments from now on.I just read back a bit and realised I didnt link my advice from Rip heres the link http://strengthmill.net/forum/showthread.php?t=895

I basically reset the weights to work on those issues ,basically my feet, they move around on me too much,Eric has given me some tips on getting more out of my ankle mobility and some good stretches that have helped alot.I got vids of todays workout, I'll up them if I can.I changed my shoes today too, and things felt much different.Still waiting to find some cheaper weightlifting shoes for now.

What is limiting/preventing your progression on squats? The answer to that question should be what your variation is based on.
I tend to fall forward a bit when fatigue from a set sinks in, makes me think my lowback and hams are not as strong as they could be,which is why I though GMs may be a good option, I did 1 set today and my hams and low back were frying from just 5 reps!! Sent, Box squats will definately become more a part of my rotation too, I love em!!

Your thoughts are appreciated on my plan guys.
