I was upping the duration, rather than the weight. It terms of gaining muscle mass I understand what you mean, but my endurance continues to improve with the same exercises. I will pick up a 53-pounder soon.
In any case, I'm going to spend another four weeks on the Program Minimum before I switch over to the Rite of Passage, which is a much more varied program (C&Ps, snatches, swings, and pullups.)
