Isolation exercises progression..

[TryingBB]

I tried searching but could not get a proper answer.

Question about isolation exercises - this is for fierce 5. Program Says upper body movements to increase by 5lbs per week.

Also says if you fail two workouts in a row, reset to 15% below the current weight.

For bicep curls, it says do 2 x 10

Let’s say someone lifts the following

Week 1: 20lbs set 1: 10 reps, set 2: 10 reps
>>> Increase weight by 5lb to 25lbs
Week 2: 25lbs got set: 1 8 reps, set 2: 6 reps (failed on set 1 and 2 both for two workouts in a row)
>>> reset or what?
Week 3: go back down to 20lbs? And Stop at set 1: 10 reps and set 2: 10 reps ?


Or keep grinding 25lbs and try to get more reps each workout?

What do you do?

From what I've read in the original thread, the isolation lifts are just fluff that he put in because people would do these lifts regardless.

I personally deload if I fail twice in a row like the program states. I usually do those lifts close to failure so ab work to failure and then curls to failure.

Keep grinding

I don't have exerience on fierce 5, but i think as long as you can lift a weight with proper form, there's no need to go lighter.
Just make it so you struggle on the 6th rep or so on set 3 and 4. Progressive overload is the key.
There's no way you can always increase 5 lbs every week. Just do what you can and lift as heavy as possible with perfect form.
