I have been reading everything available, but I have had a hard time putting it all together into a workout. I think I get it, but in developing a workout I wanted to make sure. So, let me give an example of what I'm planning for chest and see if this follows the principles well enough for a first cycle.
My 1RM is 100 lbs
All workouts 3 days per week on M/W/F
Week One: WU then 1x15 at 50 lbs
Week Two: WU then 1x15 at 60 lbs
Week Three: WU then 2x10 at 70 lbs
Week Four: WU then 2x10 at 80 lbs
Week Five: WU then 3x5 at 90 lbs
Week Six: WU then 3x5 at 100 lbs
After week six, I'm still confused but I can figure that part out later. I'm going to be testing my 1RM for all the exercises I am doing on Saturday, then I'm not sure if I should wait a week (seems to be suggested) or start on Monday. I have been doing a four day split for about 3 months with no prolonged (more than 3 day) rest period.
Thanks in advice for the tips. I know this is general, I just want to make sure I have the idea down then I'll get to work so I can "get it."
