I just started a cycle of "TBT for Strength and Mass" and noticed that the prescribed starting weight for Week 1 of 80% 1RM is too much for the 4x6 exercises. I'm only getting around 6/5/4/4 at 80%. So, for the 4x6 exercises which of these progressions would be best to follow:
Option 1:
Week 1 --- 80% 1RM 6/5/4/4 (approx)
Week 2 --- 80% 1RM 6/6/6/6
Week 3 --- 82.5% 1RM 6/5/4/4 (approx)
Week 4 --- 82.5% 1RM 6/6/6/6
Option 2:
Week 1 --- 75% 1RM 6/6/6/6
Week 2 --- 77.5% 1RM 6/6/6/6
Week 3 --- 80% 1RM 6/6/6/6
Week 4 --- 82% 1RM 6/6/6/6
Basically, I'm wondering which is more important: 1) starting with the 80% load or 2) getting all 4 sets of 6 reps every week regardless of load.
