Quick question on increments.
In the Starting Strength book, it's stated that on average an adult man (34 years old here myself, 6'2" with weight somewhere in the 220s) can maintain 5 pound increases on the bench and overhead presses for "perhaps three to four weeks". I seem to have hit the end of these 5 pound jumps at about 2 weeks. I've gone over things like "The First Three Questions" addressing early training snags, and all I'm coming up with as a possible solution is to go down to the 2.5 pound increases. Is it time to get real and admit those magical 5 pound jumps are gone for good, or is being unable to sustain these for lengths the book mentions indicative of some other problem?
