my first diary...5x5

"Of course you start with a good margin to give yourself a run so you have to back into the initial weeks' weights. That means using some math. Put your current 5 rep maxes at week 4, figure out what 2.5% of the number is and go back and put that for week 3, do that back until you get to week 1.....Some people seem to think this is very slow progress (and maybe it is for a true beginner) but for most lifters this 2.5% weekly is fairly aggressive scaling."

That is quoted from madcow, probally the site you go it from. Anyways, I would just start over, the gains you will make from this program(done right) will be worth it.
 
Oh, and the reason abear was doing 3x3 was that he was doing the advanced version.
