It really doesn't take that many workouts to figure out the weight that will work for you. Each time you start a new meso, you have to take some time to figure out what to use. You can always do the first week of each meso twice to both get in a workout and figure out the correct weight to use to start out in that meso.

I never thought about the "safety" issues of lifting heavy weights before. Well, accept the safety of wearing shoes and keeping my kids away from me. I think we all need to take some time to look into educating ourselves into safety of lifting heavy weights. I never thought it could be fatal. |

Me, too! If I had taken the time to do the 1-rep test, I never would have bothered with STS. I had strenght gains and was very happy with my results.
I'm sure the test is a great idea. I just don't have the patience.

I jumped right into STS and found I picked the correct weight 97% of time. Since I'm repeating every workout, I made minor adjustments the second week. |
