I have done starting strength workout and I don't know what skewed version you're reading but you're supposed to add 5lb/week. Some people do 10lb/week if you are doing that exercise 2x a week ... but just let me say at 20lb increments... you will not get far.

I don't think you thoroughly read my posts. I dropped 10 lbs because I was sick for a week. That felt way to easy. The bar wasn't slow at all. That is why I chose to go up 20 lbs (which is where I should have been the next workout anyways). Also, I have the book and read other things on the internet as well. Everything I read said to go up 10-15 lbs a workout on squat, 15-20 lbs a workout on deadlift, and 5-10 lbs a workout on everything else. Also, quite frankly, I was stronger before from lifting for years. My muscle memory will take over and allow for boosts in strength quickly. I hope this clarifies things.
