Do you think I should just continue doing the the weight that I'm at right now but just drop to 3 sets, or should I also reduce weight along with the number of sets?

I was doing Stronglifts 5x5 (straight sets) and I started missing reps on the squat at 245. I reset to 90% of the last successful work weight and continued with the program (at 220). After about two...

So I went in for my squat day of wave 1; the first two sets of 5 were kind of hard but the last set was insane - I finished only the required 5 reps, but I think the form was crappy. With that in...

I have been stuck at these weights for a week...

Is the 2 on 1 off scheme enough? I feel like training 4 to 5 days / week is too less.

1) why 5x5? max ot manual says that 6-9 (post warmup) sets per body part are enough
