    Thanks for the info SC. I have a question. Taking the example above, if I do 195 on my first week, do I do all 5 sets using that weight or do I build up to the 195? Like:
    155x5
    165x5
    175x5
    185x5
    195x5

    You keep the weight contstant, and bump it up the following week by a small amount...

    So, 5x5 @ 195...

    Thanks SC. I started this today with consistant weight like you said. I think this is the change I needed in my routine.
