I was coming off of Max-OT so I already knew my 5's. I also knew my 8's because my last week doing Max-OT I added a few more reps to previous weights. I did need to spend a day to find my 12's. It is very important. For you taking ph/ps, your maxes will probably change over the course of each mesocycle. I even had that problem being natural. If I was to do everything all over again in, say, 2 weeks, this is what I'd do..
This week:
Monday-Find my 10 rep maxes
Tuesday-OFF
Wednesday-Find my 5 rep maxes
Take 10 days off so I can begin on a Sunday (less crowded) Also stick to only very light cardio because this program's success is based on the fact that you will be deconditioned enough to get stimulation with lighter (submax) weights.
Sunday-Begins program: 10 rep week, everything 2 sets=20 total reps.
2 sets bench press
2 sets military press or push press (standing)
2 sets olympic squats
2 sets deadlifts
2 sets barbell curls
2 sets chin ups
2 sets calf raises
* I'd still keep going every other day, not just three times per week like it says. It stresses that the more the frequency, the more growth. That's 7 days worth vs. 6. So I'd just hit my rep maxes on my 6th workout like it says, but since I probably gained some strength, I'd increase the weights depending on what I can do for my seventh workout. If it's too hard to get the required 30 total reps, I'll cluster it.
Saturday-Start of my 5's. 3 sets=15 reps total. Adding on 1 dropset of ten on final set of each for added hypertrophy.
3 sets bench press
3 sets military press or push press
3 sets olympic squats
3 sets deadlifts
2 sets barbell curls
3 sets chin ups
