Recently I was sold on the idea of Step Loading over DUP/Wave Loading/etc, and after laying out my very pretty, mathematically simple loading principle I ended with this:
"Start at 60%, 5x5 adding one rep to every set for 3 weeks (ending at 5x7), then jump to 70%, repeat, then top at 80%."
Now it's my understanding that at the end of these 9 weeks, I would go and test an AMRAP 90-95% load to test strength gains for a new cycle, but it's sounding more and more like I'm falling back on the idea of Waves.
Q: Am I on the right track, or those following step loading how do you choose to progress from week to week?
