Let me just start by saying this forum is very helpful. So me and my buddy started it yesterday and holy shit is it tough! the bench part was ok but the squats were killer and so were the rows.
It took us about 1:45 mins to get through it which i think we could do in about an hour and a half.
My question is this. When doing the pyramid weights. were u get up to your top 5 by increasing weight, it says that each weight should be like 20% less then the next. This ends up me starting at like 97 pounds for bench for 5. Is this on purpose like a warmup or did i not do it right. seems wicked light for a set to acomplishg anything.
Also when it says your top 5, im confused if its supposed to be 95% of your max 5 reps or is it your max 5 reps. this was for monday squats and rows where the wording is a bit confusing. Thanks for any advice.
