This spreadsheet will build a 14 week workout cycle for you based
upon a University of Washington strength routine utilizing a 5
sets of 5 repetitions strategy. At the end of the cycle you should
realize approximately a 10% increase in your single rep max.
The original plan called for 3 workouts a week, this one uses 2.
Don't overdue it on assistance work while following this cycle and
be sure to do a couple warm-up sets in addition to the actual work
sets.

Enter your current SRM and the Starting date of the cycle
in the appropriate locations and the spreadsheet will give
you the workout schedule for the cycle. In cases where the poundages
for the set are in unusual amounts, round up or down to the nearest
convenient amount within 5 pounds.
