this is something ive wondered about ever sence i started reading this site. what's the advantage to ramping up the weight used each workout as opposed to keeping the same lower weight and useing it for each set. i was thinking about doing a 5x5 twice a week till football's over, but i dont want to go through all the hassle of ramping up the weight after every set. this is what a was thinking of doing.

monday-
JV football game (i actually play in this)

tuesday-
hell practice

wendsday-
5x5 rows
5x5 front squat
5x5 cleans

thursday-
5x5 bench
5x5 deadlift
5x5 lat pulldown

friday-
Varsity game (dont play more then PAT unless 2 guys get hurt)

and weekends the weightroom isn't open. i know im kinda asking 2 questions in one but, what do you think? it should be good enough for the next 6 weeks untill football's over and i can get back into the swing of things.
