Dialing in on Sub 5lb Increases
When one stops making progress with 5lb increases on an exercise, what increment do you drop down to in NLP?
I am on week 6 of NLP and my both my press and bench have stalled with 5lb jumps
I see 2.5lb advances often referenced here on the forums, on PPST 3rd ed p 88 specifies 1/2, 1, and .1.5lb fractional plates for loading at sub 5lb increments.
My question is where do you start when 5lbs is too much? Drop to 3lb jumps, and if that fails, then try 2lbs and so on? Or start in the middle?
For a female, same question (as my wife will be hitting this soon as well).
FWIW, I already have fractional plates in .25, .5, .75, 1lb pairs. (It was a set).
