    Ohh ok got it.

    So if i were to be stuck with bench pressing (for example, not my real struggling weight) at 50 pounds and cant go higher, i should keep benching 50 until im strong enough to move on?

    Yes.  In the extreme case, it's like your 1rm is 50 lb and you add 5lb next time on the next lift.  It's very dangerous.

    Come on now. If you read in the website it clearly states:

    You will always try to lift 5 pounds more (that's 2.5kg) than last workout on each exercise.

    That's not a command, but a guideline, because there's that TRY word. Smiley  And when you tried, and failed, lessen the load or stick to it for awhile. Tongue

    When you stall retry next session with the same weight.
    If you get the weight for 5x5 you increase following session by 5pound upper body and 5 OR 10 pound if you wish for squat and
    deadlift.

    In case you didn't get it up for the required reps retry again with the same weight
    the following workout.
    If you couldn't get the reps with the weight for 3 workouts in a row deload by 10%or more if you wish and work up using the same increments.

    When you did this procedure 3times on a lift-stalling three times+deloading you switch to 3x5 on THIS lift.
    (Stronglifts Ladder Of Strength)

    I think you should read the FREE SL5x5 Report:

    Sorry for my humble English!

    Happy Lifting!
