Hey everyone,

I'm doing Static Contraction Training (SCT) right now and I was wondering how much weight I should increase every workout? I'm going to be training 2 times a week for 2 weeks then 1 session per week for 3 to 8 weeks. I began today and my starting set for my bench is 134 lbs for my first set, 154 for second set then 184 for my third. I'm 140 lbs. I read that at the beginning, I should add 15% of the weight from my first set, so on my next session, theoretically , I should be bench pressing 154 lbs for my first set. Anyone want to help/clarify this? Any help would be great.

I also want to ask if I should continue my protein/creatine intake even though I'm only going to carry weights once or twice a week? On my non-workout sessions, I do 45 minutes of cardio.

Thanks again
