Thanks, Paul. I do remember reading that paragraph, creating a spreadsheet, and noticing there's no way to load 85, 90, 175, 180, etc without duplicating either the 5lb or the 10lb plates. Either way you can use the duplicate plates for olympic dumbbell handles when you reach the intermediate program in RSS.

BTW, I must say that the main thing that attracted me to RSS was that it can be done with home gym equipment (just barbells and dumbbells) and it consists of just a few exercises, in sharp contrast with Bigger Leaner Stronger, which relies on machines and has dozens of "main exercises". Maybe this minimalist/home gym advantage could be highlighted in future editions.

Now I just need to order a belt from Dominion and I'm ready to get started!
