I would increase by 5 lbs per dumbbell, so 10 lbs in total.

Did you try micro loading...only adding 1 lb etc?

I guess that is the downfall of using dumbbells, as I was only able to increase the weight in increments of 5 lbs per dumbbell.

BTW, do you have the book? Rip addresses all these questions in the book. If you don't I highly recommend getting it as you will see the best results having all the info instead of trying to piece it together online.

Yeah, I just got the second edition, so I will be reading it tonight.
