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 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.
