Your strength will go up pretty quickly on things like squats and deadlifts - so if you can barely make the 15 with 20# today you might increase that by 3-5 lbs a week - so in 6 weeks you'd need 45# to make the reps and if you were doing sets of 8 reps instead of 15 reps you might need 80# to be challenging.
