New lifter looking for advice.
With any linear progression program, eventually you get to the point where every training session is at a new PR.
Suppose I just hit a 225 5x5 squat for the first time in my life. Then the next time I go to the gym, I'm supposed to hit 230 5x5 and that's exhausting, not to mention mentally intimidating.
I've reached a point where I'm not confident with the weight on my back anymore, and I think form is suffering on the last few sets. Starting to worry that anything could affect my success the next day- a bad nights sleep, a cheat meal, work anxiety.
Any advice for powering through?
