Sounds like you're hitting the ceiling of linear progression. Worth looking at other programs - Boostcamp is a great app and has a few different ones on there and it's free.
How are your other lifts going?
Bainbridge-
Yeah I reckon. But it’s my first time hitting that ceiling so I thought the app would drop weights and then let me work my way back up. These are my next two workouts, bench, ohp and deadlift going fine but also starting to get heavy. Row is just too low. I should increase that to something like 80kg.
To be honest I was hoping to do 100kg bench, 100kg squat and 160kg deadlift at Christmas

I started StrongLifts a month ago, progression has been fine but I’m starting to struggle with squats which have always been my weakness. The last two increments have been so heavy. I can still complete but I’m starting to use the safety bars and I don’t go as deep as I used to and I’m afraid I might injure myself.
I’d like to drop the weights a bit and I might as well do so now before an injury but can anyone tell me how much weight StrongLifts takes off after a couple of incompletes?
