Reminder that the above percentages are based on your training max, which is 90% of the heavy single weight that you found. For athletes going through the cycle for the second time we are adding 5-10lbs to our 90%. For example, if your heavy single was 200, then you would use 180 (185-190 for the second time through) as your training weight. Therefore, all of the above percentages would be based on 180 (185-190 for the second time through).
