I'm ok with fluff. I want to get the main lifts right. My bench and DL's look so light the first few cycles and that kinda has me down, but I was told that there is a method to the madness. At least with week 1 there is an unlimited rep set and week 3 multiple single sets.
Who knows though, this may be harder than I think. The squats don't look easy, but I've also had several back-to-back bad squat sesh's.
The first 2-3 cycles will be lighter, but remember the first few sets are really a rolling warm up to prime the nervous system for the movement pattern. Then you unleash hell on the heaviest AMRAP set and try to always set rep PR's here, every workout. Or, if you feel very froggy, you only do the prescribed reps for the 3rd set and then start doing Joker Sets - you keep adding 5% of your training max to the bar and rocking out singles as long as you're confident you won't miss. Wendler advises to only do these at most every other week, as you're basically doing a higher volume Max Effort day instead of the bread and butter repetion-based work.
If your squat is too heavy now, it's gonna bury you within about 4 cycles. When in doubt, use a lighter number for your training max. Your TM should be 90% of your CURRENT 1RM, generally. You should be able to work up to your TM if you had to on any given day, whether you worked overtime or only had 2 hours of sleep or missed 3 meals. Your TM should be your any day of the week number.
