Question about 15s,progression(HST expert pls read

[quickups]

I am going to try my first cycle of HST but I have some questions about it.

I've noticed that most people gain the most during 5s, then 10s, then 15s. My question is do I need to up my calorie intake during 15s or 10s?

For my maxes on the 15s, 10s, and 5s, some of the exercises I just guessed so would my program be ruined if i "zig zag" (using the same weight in a different workout)?

Is there a general rule for the progression of the weight?

Keep your calories at a surplus definatly.

Dont worry too much about zig zagging.

Of course you want your maxes to be a close as possible however if you are keeping your frequency up to 3 times a week and you are progressing up in weight every workout or every other workout and you have excess calories you will gain!
