Yeah, I think the difference between a goal and the reality are big when you look at each workout. But if I can lift 30lbs for this workout and the next, and then move up to 35lbs after that, I've increased that weight by five pounds, and if you average that over three workouts...well, maybe it's more about trends. Because he also says there are going to be days where you go into the gym and have a fantastic workout, and days where you go into the gym and it's sort of dismal. But you should always be TRYING to increase weight when you feel ready. Not just sticking with the Barbie weights for weeks on end like a gym bunny.
