I can't push anything for the next 24 hours, so yeah. After every recovery period (1 week), I can usually increase my max.

Go for the 25. Or even a 20. Really, it's about finding hat works for you.

My high school math teachers would kill me, but I do it all in my head. Still, I read about exercise ideas from Men's Health. They usually have some of the better trainers in the country write their workout programs.
