Ya im gonna try the full thing. I know around where my max's are, i dont think 5 pounds makes much diff. As for deconditioning, i thought thats what the 15 rep 2 week piece is for???
Well...see...uh...light weights are effective for growth...IF you haven't trained for a certain period of time. 9 days is kinda the minimum. As much as it sucks, i'd really suggest you just take off the 9 days. Otherwise you risk either not growing or severely curtailing growth.
