I think I understood what you posted. 0311's explanation definitely clarified everything
After I do my loading and quick deload, I'll try and pick some manageable weights and make sure I stick to a set weight increment. So every week I'll increase by say 5-10 lbs regardless of how strong I'm feeling. So if I'm scheduled to do 185 on bench and I feel I can do 225 no problem, I'll keep it at 185.
Stupid Question(s)
How do I pick my weights for the 5x5? Should I start with something close to what I did in week 1 for DFHT, do I just guesstimate what I can do and adjust accordingy?? The weights should be manageable but not pussy weights right?
And How long should I plan on running the 5x5 for? I was assuming I run it until I stall on the progression.
What should I plan on doing after the 5x5? Do I go back to DFHT, rerun the 5x5 and try and hit more maxes, do something else, or should I wait and think about that when I get closer to that time?
Sorry for the bombard of questions but it seems like I've been bouncing from routine to routine without a definite long term strategy and I'd like to get my shit together a bit better and make some even more serious gains.
