Dear god, I thought this was gonna be a post about how you've been sleeping in an abandoned or empty house for 3 days a week.

Honestly pretty relieved here.

More fiber

Stop doing 5x5 specifically and work something into the routine. Instead of squats do split leg squats or leg extensions etc.

The problem I found with 5x5 is that I would plateau quicker than if I was just doing my own thing.

There's a good plan to move on to either here or s/fitness for Liftwaffe so maybe do a search for that on on it the subs.

Pretty much. Do max, then do 12 weeks of incremental percentage of max then at the end of 12 weeks do max again. Rinse repeat till you get sick of that then make your own plan off that

I prefer goblin squats with a 30lb dumbell.

Move over to pistol squats.

I heard an interesting strategy the other day. It was to run a 5k, then finish off with squats. It didn’t need to be large weights, but enough to really stress the balance muscles in your legs.
