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...

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.
