Well I mean I did 135 to 275 in 10lb increments with a few bigger jumps so that's like 10 + sets so 5 reps of that is kinda tiresome lol
ya i was mainly talking to Hulk, doing 2 sets of 5 then a 3rd with as many as possible.
for me if I have the strength, then im pushing through. Especially just doing 5 reps, it's pretty hard to get exhausted from that. I think saying you are exhausted is an excuse that you dont have the strength(not you, just saying in general).
i think it would be beneficial to know your 1 rep max to get the most out of any lifting program. I assume like any other program they are giving you a % to work off of?

Greyskull is designed for very long term and slow progression. They don't really give you a starting % of max because it was designed for beginners. Some people start with just a bar, even. Usually after week 4 or so people find their maxes. The book itself is skim on info about starting weight, though.

The other thing is that I'm on lower calories at the moment and pushing a few more reps could mean a few extra days of recovery and I'd like to be good on the next workout and leave some in the tank. Another thing is that my form breaks down and I don't wanna risk injury. People at Westside have terrible injuries from pushing so hard.
