how much to add per week to the 5x5

[WORKOUTGUY]

Hi again, i asked this in my other thread with no response, prob cuz thread title has nothing to do with my question.

How much weight do you add every friday to your top 5?? im reading through the 5x5 at eclipse and cant seem to find out how much to add, is it a percent or do you just add what more u feel do able??

I know someone else mentioned this in your previous thread, but you really should consider creating a log in the training logs subforum. It can make it easier for you to keep track of your progress and easier for us to help you.
