i guess that came out kind of wrong with no explainations!

this really only applies to my larger exercises like squat, bench press, rows,deadlifts and etc. these exercises i usually use pyramid sets.so I really dont think adding 5 pounds of weight to the larger compund exercises is that bad. The worst thing that happens is you dont perform as many reps as i want. When I find myself in a positon where im not getting enough reps on a given set, I will not add moreweight and use that weight again for the next set because its lower reps.

I would never continue adding weight to smaller isolation exercises where form and reps are absolutely crucial.

I think it was maybe a little misunderstanding…I meant every week for your first set add 5 lbs. if that was the case then in 3 months you could add 60 lbs to an exercise. But I think you meant to just add 5 lbs for every set within a workout. Which I would agree with.
