You can jump to whatever you want, really as long as the challenge is there. The truth is adding only 5 pounds and doing 15 reps would be a back off. Unless you wanted to do ultra short rest periods...but I'd rather you push heavier weights.

yes i would like to push heavier weight too. i dont want to do any back-off work right now....

The beauty of all this is skipping around a bit, but the progression has to be there.
On the other thing you have to ask yourself if, at this point, there is a more direct and efficient way to progress.
If at this point you put on 10 pounds and got 3x5 that would be good. You're taking a break from the volume and getting more intensity. And then if you could build up the volume and density again, however it worked out, that would be the way to go.

adding 10 lbs = 130 lbs. fucking A...i wish i could nail 135 haha but i know that would be shit difficult. 130 is better.
ok, so E,
how about if i do this next time; 3x5x130. SO, if i am able to do 3x5 w/ 130,
Week 1 = 3x5x130
Week 2 = 3x6x130
Week 3 = 4x6x130
Week 4 = 5x7x135 (triple progression attempt like how we did with 120)
does this look ok for now? i wanna nail 3x5x130 but i think i could even do 4x5x130. either way, the progression stays relatively the same.
am i understanding u right?
