Ok thanks for the input DH and looking at your program it makes more sense. So im going to start a journal sticking to your plan. The only thing i need to know is, can i spend a week just experimenting to find my 15,10 and 5 maxes??

Im thinking monday finding my 15rep maxes
wednesday finding my 10rep maxes
friday finding my 5rep maxes
Then the following week i start.Does this look ok??

Well if you did that, then you wouldn't be deconditioned enough for most of the program to work. So in essence you'd be wasting your time when you're lifting such submaximal weight (first week of each meso). If I were to do it, I'd recommend something along these lines.

Monday - Test 15 + 10 RM's. That means just doing a couple of sets per exercise and guage about where you're at depending on how you feel. I could easily tell after a few sets. That could mean projected or absolute. If on a set of squats I start feeling really gassed on rep #8 w/ "x lbs", I would stop there and know +/- what my 10 and 15 rep max is. Get me? Same with all the exercises. You do NOT want to get to a "true" 10-15 RM because you are going to test again on Wednesday.

Wednesday - Test 5 RM. Same thing with those exercises. And do them IN ORDER because that's how you'll be doing it when you start.

Thursday - START OF STRATEGIC DECONDITION You start on Thursday, and take a long break.. All the way through the following week. Your official start would be on Monday of the following week.

* So that'll give you an 11 day SD period. To put things in perspective, I'd probably need a minimum of 14-21 days.
