I do the pyramid with my 12 week program. I read you supose to do light, medium, heavey and then medium weight.
For example today I did seated cable rows. Light weight for me (I am 35 woman) was 70lbs (rep 1), medium was 80(rep 2), heavey was 90 (rep 3), then I went back to medium 80lbs (rep 4). When there is only 3 reps I do light (rep 1), medium (rep 2), light (rep 3). As you go along you will start to figure out how you will work it for your body type, whats light, medium and heavey. I do as I come to a exercise I've never done before.
In the gym you can not do 10% because the weights go up 10lbs, if I'm understanding what 10% means. So I work it how the weights are in the gym, I just go up one level from where I started. I'm on my second week of it and I'm having fun.
What I do is keep track of the weight I lift on the print out of the muscle group I'll be doing for that day. Then if I do the exact same exercise I will go up in weight, if possible. If not then I know what I did the last time and repeat that until I can move on.
Wellfully I helped.
