Free health & fitness tip: The smallest jump (step 6 of 7 from "Beginner Strength Program").
Hit 3×5? Next session that lift goes up 2.5 kg (5 lb). Upper body often jumps slower than squat. Missing reps two sessions in a row: next week use ~80% for the same sets, then climb.
Week 5 is a planned lighter week even if you feel like a hero. Joints like that more than your ego does.
Pro tip: If you only add weight when you 'feel good', you don't have a program. You have a mood.
