I am in the same boat. I wish there was more detail in the books about what or how much difference there should be in weight amounts for each set. Is a 5 lbs increase enough, or should it be higher?
I used to work out 4-5 times a week doing the usual 3-4 sets of more heavy weights with very little increase between sets except for the last one, so now I am having some problems/questions.
Let's say my max without a spotter on the incline press was 155lbs@ 8 reps for the 4th set. In setting up my BFL plan, I figured I wanted to keep that weight in the 8 rep set and increase it some for the 6 rep set. So I would do only about a 5 lbs difference between sets menaing: 145 for 12 reps, 150 for 10, 155 for 8, 160 for 6. The problem is, I can barely do the 5th set of 12 reps at even 145. So is it better to lower just the 5th set weight amount, of should I lower the entire weight amount through all sets so I could do a higher amount on the 5th (and 6th)?
