Hey Ivan, please do not double post your questions in 2 different forums. I believe this was answered elsewhere.

Imerida, if we can all increase our weights by 10 pounds per week, we would all be lifting way over 520 pounds in a year right? Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. You may be able to lift +10 pounds after a week, but will probably max out after that. Strength gains are usually realized over a longer period of time.
