You can find several formula out there for working it out, but I believe (and this is my personal theory) there's a close correlation between the number of posts someone can make about HRT, clean starts, almonds and cheese and the weight they can lift.

Unfortunately it's something of an inverse relationship but the science is sound. Hows about you just try 180 for 5 and see if that works

What?!? Just go in and try it?

Some lifters are just too obsessed with picking up heavy weights rather than thinking through it.

Usually it's the stronger ones.

I used that formula.....worked pretty nicely, 60%, 70, 80, 90, 100 started around 95x5 finished with 175x5.......

Glad it worked - like has been said try to not overthink it. Why not just use Madcows spreadsheet and go off it for weekly numbers on selected lifts?

What's next week's program? HST? 5x5? HIIT? 2x20?? DC?? Personal trainer's handwritten program??

Cool - if your training one lift multiple times a week have a heavy day and a light day. Maybe 4 sets of 5 on the ligth day and 5 sets of 5 on the heavy day w/ maybe one triple then use the triple for next weeks top set of 5.
