Starting Weight On Each Rep Range

I'm just starting out on HST, finding my maxes and I was thinking about the "Find you max for each rep range and then hit it on the last workout of that rep range" but what about if I can do 75lb on the bench press for 15's and 95lb on the 10's, I can only increase 5lb per workout so when starting the 15's I would be at 50lbs and in the end i would be at 75lb but when I start the 10's I would be at 70lb isn't that against the Progressive Load principle (75lbs x 15 to 70lb x 10)?
 
This is known as zig-zagging and is fine as long as you don't repeat the weights too much.

The other option is to use the same weight for multiple workouts for example start at 80lbs and use it for two workouts
