I've always been worried about waiting too long since there aren't any sets across.
I still think I'll back the weight down a touch this Wednesday, re-collect my FAHVE, and run up one last time. From there it's definitely 5 lb jumps and full intermediate programming. I bought a new notebook already. The old one is 3.5"x5.5" Moleskine. I can comfortably fit 3 days of NLP on a page with it, but it's too small for intermediate and I'm already getting creative fitting a week on a page. The new one is 4.5"x7" and I'll have a lot more room for notes and training complexity. I'll probably head over to the dark side and start an intermediate log at that time.
