I've actually been meaning to go to a chiro near my work to get assessed since I don't think a doctor has looked at it in 15 years. I think it affects my squat the most, where I find it very hard to have the weight evenly distributed on both my feet and my shoulders at the same time.

Ultimately I'd just be stealing the rep scheme/intensities, since the recommended progression is impossible for me at this stage. I do like ramping up 5x5 though, and I do it on most volume days (or ramping 3x5 when things aren't going so well).

Yeah I was away for the weekend so couldn't get a lift in, but I'm going to keep doing TM squats until I finish my 5/3/1 deadlift cycle in around 2 weeks.
I've pretty much decided that at least for November and December my programming will be:
| Tuesday | Thursday | Saturday | Sunday |
Squat | 6x6 | 7x5 | 8x4 | 10x3 |
Upper Body Push | 4-5 exercises | | 2-3 exercises | |
Upper Body Pull | | 4-5 exercises | | 2-3 exercises |
I'm going to start the squats relatively light, but I'm going to work on gradually decreasing my rest intervals. The upper body work will be almost entirely DB based, at least until my elbow/biceps stops bothering me.
