Fierce 5 Progression Question

[Envoyy]

I've been doing this routine for a few months and it's just now occurred to me that I may have been progressing incorrectly and want to be sure. The original post says to increase upper body and lower body lifts by 5 and 10 lb respectively every week. I took this to mean that you repeat the lift at a certain weight for two workouts before moving up again regardless of whether it's the next week.

For example, using an upper body exercise:
Monday: 130, Friday: 130, Wednesday: 135, Monday: 135, Friday:140,...

Should I instead move up to 140 on the second Monday above regardless of the fact that I've only lifted 135 once?

Your example is right. Here's what Davis says

"This is a question I'm repeatedly asked so here is a progression example:
Monday-Squat-200, Bench-150
Wednesday-RDL-200, OHP-100
Friday-Squat-200, Bench-150
Weekend of rest
Monday-RDL-210, OHP-105
Wednesday-Squat-210, Bench-155
Friday-RDL-210, OHP-105"

I increase my lower body weights by 5 lbs every workout and upper body weights by 5 lbs every other week (I add an extra rep the second time). I also was confused by the term "increase lower body weights by 10 lbs every week". Accurately put, it is 7.5 lbs every week.

Yes. Because you should be recovered enough. Doesn't hurt to do the other way though.

The way I have done it has been:

Week 1
Monday - 160
Friday - 160

Week 2
Wednesday - 165

Week 3
Monday - 170
Friday - 170

Interesting, and I assume you haven't had a problem with this pace? I already feel super challenged with my progression so I'm wondering if it would even be possible for me to do your version

That quote from the post you have confused me in that I didn't know if he meant that the Wednesday workout weights were being lifted for the first time or second at that point, so that's why I wasn't able to get anything from it. There's some conflicting info in this thread, do you by any chance know if the guy who made the workout's clarified this? Really want you to be right so I don't feel like I've screwed up for months now lol

I don't think I have a problem. I have stalled at 150 bench, but after I reset twice, I was able to get it up to 165. I just failed on 170 so I'm hoping the same thing will workout.

OHP and Bench are the ones I have the most problems with. I haven't had to reset on dead lift yet, and it has gone from 130 to 250.

The first Wednesday weights are being lifted the second time. Notice how second Monday and Friday have the same weights for RDL.
