I covered this aspect of progression, and added it to the original writeup post.
Basically, yes you can do this. Just look at the sample progression scheme to see how to continue to work from that point on.

You might consider only going to 8 reps on both the 2nd and 3rd sets, and then next session start to push on the 2nd.

There are various ways to work the progression. There is not really a wrong way perse', to progress, but there are some ways that make more sense to use than others.

This is an apsect that everybody needs to understand, and be able to work with. I've been really busy lately, but I'll try to do some more writeups on progression.

Thanks gl i know how ill do it now most likely- 135x12/170x8/190x8 or 185x8

[CoopDawg]

Gl can i do everyday like i did today, first set 12 reps, 2nd set drop to 8 reps+5 pounds, thirdset 8 reps +5 pounds, add reps to the 2nd set each week

You did this today

Squat-
135x12
170x8
180x8

Next time start building reps on the 2nd set until you hit 12. When you do, then start building reps on the 3rd set.

Go to the challange thread and look at the example I wrote.

[CoopDawg]

O i see now basically do it like this so that im not stopping the rep progression im still building reps i took a look at the example so something like

135x12
170x8
180x8


135x12
170x9
180x8

135x12
170x10
180x8

135x12
170x11
180x8

135x12
170x12
180x8

now drop to 8 and add reps to third set then reach both top rep ranges and add weight
