Switched to Madcow 5x5 today from Greyskull LP. More intermediate-oriented program; GSLP is a beginner program and I was sticking with it way too long. My workout volume is decreased and weight increase is slower, but my set intensity will (I hope) ramp up gradually once I push past my PRs. It seemed like that was the case this morning at least:
Madcow 5x5 Intermediate/Linear week 1, day B
Overall felt good. I used to be against doing lower volume programs but that's mostly because of my beginner mentality--higher volume at the weights I'm using will only cause me to overtrain. I'm gonna try as hard as I can to pull all the power out of my testicles on my max work sets.Also, I attribute my recent deadlift streak to this:

It's probably a good sign you're working hard, but could also be dehydration or some kind of deficiency. Try to drink a lot more water (I do at least a gallon a day without trying) and if you think you need it take a multivitamin or other supplements. If you're already doing that and this happens constantly, you could be overtraining, so if you think it's that then tone it down a little or take some days off.
