madcows 5x5 weight question(for everyoen not just him)

[Sub-Zero]

for those of u that have done/do this, how big of a weight space do u have between ur 5x5 and 1x5 space- and between ur 3x3 and 1x3,
and between ur 5x5 and 3x3

for example when u do 5x5 are u doing like 315 and then only 320 for 1x5 or is it a greater space gap.

and for ur 3x3 are u doing like 320 or somethin? or are u much higher than ur 5x5 weight

im just curious as to how yall fall

As a rule the stronger one is the bigger the absolute weight increment. On a % basis it might be somewhat close on average but you don't want to be using the average as anything more than a guide because few people are actually the average and you want any program to match your capacities as closely as possible.

For me on bench it was about 7.5-10Kg.

I ended 1x5 bench on 122.5Kg and 5x5 on 115Kg (275 and 260 in American weights)
I ended 1x3 on 135Kg and 3x3 on 125Kg (305 and 280 resp)

These all felt like maximal efforts. I don't think I'd have made the lifts with more weight. I actually started out too heavy from the beginning and was always adding the smallest amount I could each week which was 2.5Kg until the very last week when I added 5Kg to my 1x3. My post-program write-up is linked to from madcow's TOC in the motherthread.
