Enter the weights for week one Squat in workout C.In fact, the app will handle it that way: It doesn't need to show in your work sets. This set is therefore not a workset but a warmup set.If you do 275lb for 5 reps, then 135lb for 5 reps is about 50% of your top set.Consider: in the Madcow 5x5 spreadsheet, the Squat in workout C goes from 5x135lb to 5x275lb when using the default 12.5% set interval.One misconception is that the workout C of Madcow 5x5 requires 6 work sets.For now, this limitation does not prevent you to log Madcow 5x5 using StrongLifts.
