hi, so i want to start 5x5 because it seems like it will save time and hit everything i need to efficiently. that said, la fitness doesn't have 2.5 lb weights. is there a logical way to adjust the 5 lb bump every workout because of this? like a 10 lb bump every other workout? thoughts and advice are greatly appreciated.

you can alternate between increasing reps and weight so do your 5x5 next week 6 or 7 reps per set then go back to 5x5 but with 10lb added

It's probably for the best that your stuck like this. You'll need to truly master the weight you currently lifting, and that requires both strength and endurance. If you can increase your reps and sets during your workout eventually you'll be able to add those 5lbs and start over again.

You can progress with 10lbs a workout for first few workouts (a week or two).
Then either buy your own 5lb weights (quite cheap) or load unilaterally
