PPSA Grasshopper Questions

I decided to give the PPSA a try since so many people on this board talk about it but I have some questions. Should I post those here or contact the PPSA guys at their gmail account?

Liked it so much, I'm currently on the second round with new maxes. Happy to answer any questions, but there are some true PPSA experts on this board.

For the % of max, am I just supposed to max out on all the exercises to figure out the percentages?
On Week 1 Day 1 it says do barbell curls. How much weight do I curl?
For Chin Ups it says 2__ 2__ 2__ 2___
What goes in the blanks?

Pick a weight you can complete the sets with but isn’t too easy, better to start too light than too heavy.
The blanks next to chins is to write in how much weight you added. He says to add weight if you can.
You can guess a one rep max then use 90% of that and adjust a little as you go. No need to actually do maxes.

can also use one of the max calculator programs on the internet by taking a weight you are comfortable with, doing as many reps as possible, and plugging those values into the calculator to spit out a projected 1RM, then take 90% of that number - that's how I did it when I started the Greyskull plan. More recently I'll do a max day when I finish a plan cycle.
For Barbell curls, pick a weight you can comfortably complete the reps with very good form - don't start too high, or you will risk injury, particularly medial epicondylitis, and it will set you back. Like has been noted above, start light and keep notes.
Before moving to weighted pull ups/chin ups, I would make sure you can do slow and strict form un-weighted - if you can accomplish that, then add some weight and fill in the blanks.
