Did a TM test for 5/3/1 for the first time last week. (I just bought Forever and figured out I should do these regularly along with some other mistakes I've been making.) Had to lower my Press by something like 15 pounds, which is a big decrease when you're already only around 100 lbs. Lowered squat a bit too.
This week, I'm really glad I did. It felt great to get a lot of nice, clean reps in. After eating a slice of humble pie last week, this felt like one of my better weeks in a while.
It's a bit of a hit to the old ego but definitely the right thing to do!
