I was worried at first too...but I really think you should jump up to a weight that is difficult to do for the entire 5x5. Hit a weight close to your 5x5 max and then push yourself every workout to beat that. It should make the workouts a little more exciting too, rather than sticking to a set increase every week. If you get stuck, you get stuck, as long as you make
a positive change in the weight without losing form then everything will work out bro. My increases have slowed, in some cases, to the point where one week I do 1 set with a 10lb increase, 2 sets with a 5lb increase and then the next week I do 1 set at 10lbs over and 3 sets at 5lbs over...it's a slow progression, but it is progress none the less
