As an example: In the first phase today, I have to squat for 4 sets. Last week, I hit 250 for 10 reps on the final set. I plan to bump that weight today, but I'm unsure when to increase it. Should I only up the weight on the last set or for all 4 sets?
If you increase the weight by 5% for a couple of exercises and can only manage 10 repetitions instead of 12, does this mean I increased too early, or should I just do 10 and then focus on increasing repetitions during the following weeks?
When going from 10 reps to 5 reps, what's a good rule of thumb for choosing a weight?
