I think you'll be fine with the 5lb jumps.

i need to read Bill's program again , but i think he he always works with %'s . Might be 10% or 5% jumps that he does. Doesn't meen you have to do it that way.

Week 1 - Cycle 1 - Day 2 -Wednesday May 6th/2009

Parallel Box(Bench) Squats
bw squats 1x10
bar x 8
135lb 2x6
185lb x 5
225lb x 4
245lb x 3
255lb x 5
245lb 4x5
275lb x 3

I was going to start at 255lb but I thought it felt a little heavy for the first time at it so I backed it off. I think 245lb will be a good starting point. I also found it makes a huge difference if you actually sit onto the box vs just touch and go. (Touch and go = way easier... so I tried to do it the hard way... lol)

Rack Pulls from Knee
135lb x 8
225lb x 8
315lb x 6
335lb x 6
355lb x 6 (belt)

A tough bunch of pulls but very satisfying. I also practiced switching my grip under-over to over-under if you know what I mean.

Step-Ups
bw x 8
bw + 25lb x 8
bw + 35lb x 8
bw + 45lb x 8

I may have to use DBs next time so I can increase the weight. Or maybe I'll just increase the reps.

Hanging Leg Raises
bw 4x8

I found a bar that actually hangs my feet completely off the ground. Nice.

Thoughts

A good workout. Tiring but satisfying.
