First round of CAP3, and just hit the first Major Progression lift day (DL).
My estimated Max is 300 (coming off of nsuns, so that correlates to the 270 TM I had there). My choices in the green row are:
215x6 -or- 230x4 -or- 240x2
The instructions say that if I complete the min reps, but don't set a new estimated 1 rep max, I should increase 5 lbs. This seems weird, as all three of the lift choices seem(ed) like they would be easy - I struggle a bit thinking that lifting 230x4 is enough to indicate that I should raise my max by 5 pounds. In fact the calculator (which, AFACT it right out of the Wendler book) says that if I can pull 230x4, that my estimated 1RM is 260.
Sure enough, I pulled 230x10 with possibly another few in the tank - but according to the estimated 1rm calculator, 230x10 puts my max at 306 (which I _could_ round up, but I'm not at all convinced I should raise my max DL by 10lb).
In a world without internet, I'd just raise my max by 5lbs, and move on, but I live in a world with reddit, so I will embrace the replies.
Also wonder if we need a pinned / regular CAP 3 question thread.
