I am on your 5x5 plan, and I really like it, done my first 2 weeks of if.
Did increase 5% on 5x5 lifts, but it was really HARD to manage that on some lifts...
That 5% each week is 10 lbs increase, isn't that quite much
?
This 3rd week, then I am on my 1 Original RM at last set lol xD
Well, in some lifts I don't increase 10 lbs, since I can't manage 5 reps at last set... is this okay? ^^
That's great, good job - keep up the good work!
To answer your question...if you absolutely can't get the 5% on certain lifts (remember it's 5% on every lift calculated based on each lift)...then you just need to work up to it. Do as MUCH as you can for 5 reps. Also you could try to get a spotter to help you with the last remaining reps.
