Hi all:
I am a newbie to HST, and also a relative newbie to weight training in any form. Several of my muscle groups are very weak - legs and chest in particular.
My question is this - when determining the weight decrement going back from the 15RM, how do I know what the minimum effective weight for the first workout is? Since some of my 15RM's are pretty small numbers, I don't want to take 10 lbs off 5 times and end up with a weight that is clearly trivial. How will I know for sure?
Thanks.
