Thread: What is the appropriate speed to increase weight on lifts?

Hello guys... new here.

I'm 41, and have been a fitness enthusiast for years. Since I was in my 20's I'd mostly done body weight, dumbbells, and the general higher reps per working set that came with those. As I've gotten older I've been fighting some tendonitis and some other things. So, after a chance workout with a good friend of mine where I started lifting heavier with barbells and felt stronger/better I went out and bought a nice power rack, plates, bench, and barbell from Rogue. I've done a fair bit of research on progressive overload training and have been following Jeff Nippard, Starting Strength, and some others to educate myself.

I've got everything set up and have been running a program from Jeff Nippard (4x per week Full Body High Frequency) and things have been going really well. I've increased my weights and overall strength by somewhere between 15-20% on my heavier lifts though probably still light by the standards of this forum.

Bench -> 3 sets of 3 @ 170lbs to 3 sets of 3 @ 200lbs
Squat - > 3 sets of 4 @ 185lbs to 3 sets of 4 @ 225lbs
Deadlift - > 5 sets of 2 @ 245lbs to 5 sets of @ at 300lbs

Overall, I'm really happy with my progress. I do want to make sure that I'm not adding weight too quickly. I know my muscles can handle it it, but I'm not sure if my joints progress at the same rate. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appriciated.
