Well, 85% is meet prep, not the 'easy' part. Although 85% of 90% would be easy for me for most things, but I may have an odd strength curve. Heck, I am currently doing 5 by 5 as back off stuff after three sets of heavy triples with that percentage for upper body, and I don't consider it hard - I'm like two, maybe three reps shy of failure with it on the last set. That's not really surprising, considering you must have followed the program from the Hercules Method. Aside from the urge for wanton destruction, they're the best!
