Questions about weighted lunges

Hi,

On the weighted lunges, when moving on from 25%bw to 50%bw and so on, should we;

a) Jump up in weight and start again at step 1/9 (3x1r), just like the program goes? Or;

b) Did the program intend for us to slowly increase the weight (for example, dumbbells will increase 4kgs every time you grab heavier dumbbells), build up the reps until we gradually reach 5x5r 50%, then 75% and so on...?

Hope that makes sense. 

PS. The weighted lunges are doing me good. Thank you Coach Sommer.

Hi Oliver, if you are in this stage of development you can eventually do an amrap test with the new weigth and see how it goes, if you cannot perform at least one rep maybe you can adjust the weigth with less weight.
