I really like this program due to its minimalism - only one lift a day. However, I don't see why I can't simply add 5lbs every work out as opposed to doing a light BP and light SQ day, and then add 10 lbs the following week -as the program calls for. is there particularly good reason for doing light days and making 10lbs jumps instead of progressing with every work out with 5 lbs jumps?
Would it be a bad idea to just add 5lbs and progress with each workout (similar to say Starting Strength) instead of doing the light BP and SQ days? What would be the pros and cons of this modification?
I understand the importance of doing light days and back off days when you are an advanced lifter and it is more difficult to add weight, but it seems to me that that a beginner shouldn't have issue with the above modification.
