too many crappy workouts bro... you gotta get your diet/motivation/whatever is fucking you up together and kill it next time. Every once in a while, a bad session is ok but if you're really not feeling well, it's probably best to take a day off and go hard the next day. This is especially true judging your last few workouts.

I've only had two in a row, and the last one was only crappy because the gym I wanted to go too changed its hours. The actual workout I did was fine. The one before that was diet/too much nicotine before/tiredness.

The thing is with 5x5 it doesnt really matter as long as the sets get done

I'm behind so this is my 3rd workout from last week

Squat
250x3
185x8

Bench
220x3
160x8

DB Row
105x5 (used a strap to attach another 5 to the hundred lol)
forgot to do the x8 set no!

BIG QUESTION: So I'm thinking not being consistent is really throwing me off. Today on bench I almost didnt get the 3rd rep of 220!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!! I dont know what to do because I should be doing 220x5 Tuesday or Wednesday????

It's probably either your calorie intake, activity level or both.

I personally have a hard time gaining strength consistently if I am working an overly-strenuous job or not getting in enough calories to gain.

5x5 works really well if you are getting plenty of calories and rest. Not sure how great it is if either of those aren't optimal.

You have to keep in mind that 5lbs a week gain is fast as fuck past the beginner stage and if you aren't eating to gain or on anabolics it can be difficult to push 5 more pounds every week.

I wouldn't stress it too much. Try to eat more.

Thanks! I have been trying to eat more but I'm only at 184 pounds in shoes so I've lost a lot. I think the morning pt and schedule has been getting to me. I am getting in great shape thought at least. So do you think I should attempt 220x5 on wed like the routine says or no?
