Bill Starr's 5x5

Linear Version

This is the Bill Starr/Madcow Linear 5x5 Logbook Calculator. This was designed as a supplement to the 5x5 Program and is not affiliated with Bill Starr
or Madcow. Only edit the cells in yellow. The first column, “Current Max,” is where you will enter your your previous rep maxes. The “Reps,” column is
where you enter how many reps your previous maxes were tested at. The “% Increase,” column is the amount that you would like to increase each lift per
week (usually 2.5%). If you are unsure, leave this field alone. The “Smallest Weight,” field is the smallest weight increment that can be added to the
barbell. If you don't have microweights, get them here. The “Percent To Reset,” field is how far back you'd like to begin before hitting your former maxes.
It is customary to reset 7% so you hit old PR's in Week 4. Workouts are read by column and the rotation is Heavy/Light/Medium. Good luck and GET
