using same weight for 2 days?

[r4id3n]

I just want to make sure that is it ok for me to use the same weight for 2 days then move to higher weight?
For instance:
Day 1 2kg
Day 2 2kg
Day 3 2.5kg
Day 4 2.5kg
Day 5 3kg
Day 6 3kg

*note max weight that i manage to lift 3kg

yes thats fine it stops zigzaging(or helps) but i would use a bit more weight if i was you

Repeating a weight is not a problem, especially during the heavier part of the cycle (5's and Negs). For example, note that Bryan recommends reusing the 5RM for 2 more weeks if negatives are not an option. The adaption to the load probably doesn't happen nearly as fast as a lot of us are worried about. If I'm not mistaken, data indicating that it does happen quickly comes from rat studies. And the metabolic changes in rats generally occur much faster than in humans.  I think that the reason Bryan hammers "a mandatory increase in load" each session is to get traditional bodybuilders who have been lifting the same load for a year out of that mindset (besides the fact that you can't go wrong if you do).

Well it's good to see you're not too eager and getting ahead of yourself!

Yep, using the same weight twice is fine. You can even stick to it for a week. And yep, it is better to maintain perfect form than "heave" a heavy weight around.

i agree about the form mate..thought you just put that weight in for an example

for lateral raises you cant use a lot of weight..good luck
