I thought that using my 6 rep max for phase 2 worked well for me. I allowed me to get through all 12 sets with 4 full reps, but I was totally spent after. I noticed a big increase in muscle mass and strength during "Max Size", especially during phase 2. I generally worked out 6 times/week with the program, except in phase 3 I didn't have the energy to work out that often. Some of it was due to the increased volume of phase 3, and some was due to more demands in my personal life.
Please keep us posted on your progress. Good luck!
