Add More Weight?

I am just about to start HST. I am sorta confused. Should I go the max weight for 15 reps at the end of the first two weeks, and then drop the weights down some for the 10 reps? Or should I go the max weight for 15 reps at the end of the first two weeks, and then keep adding weight everyworkout after that? I would like to find out the specifics on this. I dont want to do this incorrectly.
 
Read the FAQ. But basically, get your maxes at 15, 10, 5, and 2resp. Then, base your progressions on each max- I find a 5% increment to be best, especially if you have fractional plates. This way, you end up at each N-rep max without going too low at first (you'll always start at 75% max if you have 6 sessions per rep max).
