Did Lisa write teh program or is it your design. If she wrote it, you should follow her advice.
Otherwise, bottom line, it depends on how much stress it puts on you. I've always guaged my readiness by how my body feels during warmups.
Example: I'm starting back up. I'm not actually doing break-in, more like break-in to the break-in. I started at 2x5, then to 2x8, now I'm at 2x11. However, my back muscles doing warm-ups for the deads but second set of warm-ups, my back wasn't feeling it. I know what DOMS feels like. This wasn't DOMS. This was a muscle that was seriously broken down. It wasn't pulled or torn, but it was stressed so far from the A workout, it needed more than 48 hours of recovery. I feel like an ass hat for losing motivation. I'll have to find a balance so I can keep it going.
Feel out your body, know how it should and should not feel.
