I was reading the articles and FAQ, and they mentioned increasing the weight by 10-20 pounds for legs, and 5 pounds for smaller muscle groups.
As a beginner are larger increments per workout "better"? My rep maxes aren't very high, so if I use 10-20 pound increments for legs my starting weights for a cycle aren't very high. In this case is it better to use smaller weight increments when starting out, or better to go with the larger increments?
For example - Trap Bar Squats are 150lb for 10 reps.
Is a 50, 70, 90, 110, 130, 150 pound cycle more effective than a
100, 110,120,130, 140,150lb progression?
2) Does it matter if for the 15s, if you increase the weight by 10 pounds per workout, and then for the 10s increase them by 20 pounds - or is it a good idea to keep the increments steady for each phase?
Thankyou.
