I'm confused by what you mean by this? Do you mean that each workout is 5 sets of (close to) your max? I'm just thinking that if I can already to 35 consecutive, that with rests and everything, 5 sets of only 10-15 won't be enough of a challenge. Looking at the program, if my max was, for example, 8, then I would start week one doing a set of 7, 7, 5, 4,max - so the program has you starting with doing sets of a number of reps that's pretty close to your max. If my max is 35, then shouldn't I start by doing sets of of something like 25, 20, 20, 18, max? Does that make sense? I realize there's also an endurance component to this as well, though....
