Awesome 👍 wish I could convince my wife and parents to strength train. Like she said it's simple, you just do it, do what they say and you get results. Huntsville Texas native here, live in Columbus Ohio now, would love to come visit the Houston SS someday!
Resets are totally fine and normal. My coach has encouraged me to back off 75% even 65% on lifts before and told me to LP back up to the weight I stalled out at. My initial reaction was "won't that make me weaker?" and her response was "once you LP back up to the weight you stalled at you will be that strong again." The nice thing about LPs is that it doesn't take long for the weight to start getting heavy when you add 5 lbs every session. Your body remembers all the work it did before and you will have an easier time getting back to your previous weight once you start training again.
I've put myself, my roommate and my wife on a reset at some point or another. Strength returns remarkably quickly for someone who's already trained some. You can start at 25% of what you lifted last for 1 or 2 sets of 5. Titrate up the volume to full 3x5 and add make 20lb jumps the first week or two on Squat/Deadlift and 10lb jumps on the presses. Expect to set 3x5 PR's this go round.
Dearest rip, I love you. Please could you give me an idea of what to do when training on a mix of night and day shifts. I'm a murse (male nurse) and sometimes the masterlords have me doing days and nights in the same week, especially during covid. 27yrs old 5ft 8 215lbs squat 295lbs Deadlift 345lbs bench 180lbs press 130lbs Powerclean-dyer
I'm not Rip, but when I trained on super 7 rotating shifts, I made sure I lifted every day before work day or night. Clocked in at 6 am/pm so woke up at 4 and just made it work. BUT it sucked dick. I don't envy you.

Great to see inspiring stories like this one. Keep up the good work, Melissa and Starting Strength team.
Absolutely great job on those deadlifts kudos to you girl!!!
Gym is opening back up Monday for us in SC. I was at the end of my NLP, and now gotta start all over probably.
Same in Texas.

Well done young lady. They may be good coaches but you gotta put the work in.
