I’m on my first week of 5x5 and tried calculating my max reps for the suggested starting weight, but since it’s been years I couldn’t remember and set things based off of my lifting with dumbbells while at home.
I completed my second day and I had to add weight to my bench press and bent over row today compared to what it recommended in the app.
Now I’m thinking I messed up and I’m lifting too light, but don’t want to kill myself and ego lift. Should I just keep going with what the app recommends or start over from the beginning.
(Side note: I’m already down 3 pounds this week after cleaning up my diet and eating close to my recommended macros instead of just whatever I can get my hands on.)
