eric, i didnt begin the program knowing what my 15, 10 and 5 rep maxes were...

i've been guessing each step of the way..

for example, i've JUST begun doing powercleans and high pulls, so i just started with a weight i felt i was underestimating myself at, and i plan on steadily working up...

the smallest increments i can make are 10 lbs on most lifts...so, i needed to drop the weight a bit after my 10Rep weeks....

and no, i wont be maxing out in a few days on squats eric...

after Mark's 3x5 program, my 5 RM for the Squat was 115 kgs...

now, i have planned that in 9 sessions (3 weeks) i will reach 115 kgs for 1x5 provided i increase the weight only by 10 lbs each session....

i have understood most pronciples of HST, but what can i do if the smallest increments in my gym are 10 lbs (5 kgs)...?? i thought i had two options:

1.) start REALLY light and work my way up with the 10 lbs increments (i took this option)
2.) i start slightly heavy and i zigzag the load....

so mr. eric, what do you feel...??? what do you feel i should change....and do you think that for my next cycle of HST i should have a workout A and a workout B so that i can progress better...??

Anuj
