but that's the whole point of fractionals and 2.5's. Adding 5 lbs or 2.5 lbs to your max is a new max...it could even mean a record to a competing PLer. It's also progression. And progression is what bodybuilding is all about.
Baby Beezekiel told me he could squat 500 from ass resting on his ankles for 5 or more. All BS aside he did pull a 585 pound dead last week but he just turned 16 so I told him he is still a pussy

its a pretty common method of progression...I mean if you've had some time off or something and are returning to the gym, by all means make big leaps until you're close to where you left off but the 5lb added to max each time you do the lift is sort of the norm.
increasing reps and maybe even a whole nother set is another method but not the preferred method
