Zig zag : advise please

[dor_dru]

Mentally speaking, the calculation of the work program on HST is hard to for me feel comfortable with.

The 15s block ends and then the 10s block begin.
In the first week i supposed to lift less then then in the second week of the 15s.
If i can take the max RM15 wight, its pretty easy to lift less in the first week of the 10s.
The workout feels pretty easy.

what is the best solution?
1. Increase volume in the first week - add a set
2. Take the RM15 and lift it for a the first week (same wight for 3 workouts)
3. Add wight - take the calculated wight of the 3rd workout in the 10 block and lift it for the first week - 3 workouts?

Maybe its just in my head and you advised me to do nothing.
In that case if im not feeling sore like i used to (AB) is that ok?

Thanks

Zig zag doesn't matter.

Like Totentanz said, zig zag doesn't matter. Think of those easier workouts as a deload of sorts that will let you push harder when the weights get heavy again.

Yes. The overall load progression over the entire 8 week cycle is what is important.

As I said, zig zag doesn't matter.

Zig zag has not bothered powerlifters for a century. And they are big as fuc|<.

Yeah the zip zagging thing not being a problem is counter-intuitive, it hasn't affected gains in the past. So I don't worry about it now.
