That's a really cool approach ... Thanks @Browner :)
I'll give that light barbell circuit a try for a week or two ... I'm also booked in for a deep tissue massage next week.
Would you recommend coming back to these same weights and continuing the post 5s phase afterwards ? Or should I...

I think it's time for an early strategic deconditioning...
I grinded out 5 pretty sloppy reps on my squat 5rm and couldn't even manage a second set ..
Then I tried some of my usual back off sets but it just felt awkward and...

Workout A .....
Okay so today was a disaster ...
Yesterday I had some devastating news about my newly restored Ford Capri which I've spent my life savings having restored ...
And as a result I've been worried out of my mind all night...
Thanks @Browner your form looks very good to me with nice bar speed on 200kg
I know I can TNG 200kg for a decent number of reps as I did in my last cycle ...

Cheers @mickc1965 I forgot the cutting variation doesn't include 15s lol
I still find them very beneficial and would hate to skip them ... But I suppose for cutting its definitely best to keep loads fairly high to minimise muscle loss
Glad to hear your getting back into things mate.
Muscle memory is a fantastic thing and I'm sure you'll get back to where you were in no time ...
Just curious but why skip the 15s ? I personally love them and find they make the 10s and 5s seem much easier in contrast.
