During this phase of training there shouldn’t be any stalls. You should be able to add 2.5 lb each time you do Workout A. If perchance there is a week where you are unable to add weight – the next time you do Workout A stay at the same weight. If you are unable to add weight again you will stay at the current weight until are you able to complete an entire 3×5 at that weight.
