Hey everyone,
In your experience, is it worth adding 1.25 per side on an exercise like overhead press or bench each time or would I be better off just trying to add reps and increasing weight by a larger amount when the reps get higher.
I've always just added reps and increased load by 2.5 per side when smaller jumps were needed. I have 1.25 plates but haven't used them for a while. Just curious if anyone has had success with very small plates and also what percentage weight increase 1 rep roughly equates to.
