Really having issues with my grip during this. I’m not finding the weight particularly difficult, but re-establishing a strong hook grip in the racked position has proven to be somewhat difficult.

Thus far have established 5 rep maxed each week and hit the 5×5 @ 90 . How long should I expect to make this linear progress? Because today’s squat was tough. I’m 43 and feeling good but if I miss a new RM, will this sabotage progress?
You won’t necessarily increase each week. It depends on your fatigue. Of course, try to increase, but just go as heavy as you can if you cannot.
