I was going to reply to GP but you beat me to some of my points:
> realize that your muscles will get stronger faster than your connective tissue
The author, or another prominent advocate on YouTube, emphasizes the ability to get a workout done in under an hour. In my opinion this is rushing it.
There's a joke that you should add 5 minutes to your warm-up for every year over 30 (exact numbers vary). The point remains: always warm up thoroughly, especially the older you are.
I take a lot of time between sets to recharge my ATP. I also do days where I'm not trying to add the 2.5 kg, but instead focus power. Or even just do it with good form at a slightly lighter weight if I'm not feeling 100%. The newer you are to lifting, go slow and focus on technique. (Perhaps 20 year olds can add 2.5 kg every session ad infinitum but I can't.)
