How much weight do you add to the bar per week?

I used to just go ahead and throw an extra 10lb on that bad boy when I was strength training. I'd try to lift as heavy as possible as long as my reps didn't go down. If I got stuck, I'd back off a little bit and then start the process again the next week

I only lift once every 6 days because I do other stuff and am old and need more recovery.

Squats I add 5 lbs every 3 weeks for 3 sets of 5.

The following week I go down to abut 75-80% of that amount and do 3 sets of 8/

The week after that I do about 85-90% for 3 sets of 6.

Then reset with 5 more for the sets of 5. So now all the other 8 and 6 ones will be adjust up accordingly as the 5 number goes up.

The hardest days are the 8's. its still heavy but I have to do more reps. I do this strategy for all my lifts. For deads its a 10lbs jump vs 5.

When they all fall due for 8's on the same workout its the toughest. Lots of sets of heavish weights. for me at least.

typically about 5 pounds every 52 weeks, so 0.1lb added to the bar per week.
