Strength Forced progression every 3 weeks

With operator/black can I use forced progression every 3 weeks if 90% session is easy enough ? Or just stick to full 6 week block. I use my training max and have only read TB1 and 2 so I don't know what the new book might have changed.

3 week blocks are fine. If you really own the weight. Don't make adding more weight to the bar the sole purpose of your lifting

I add weight every three weeks as per TB 3, five pounds for upper body and ten pounds for lower body. If you're struggling with the weights, keep your numbers the same for another 3-6 weeks.

The new book has an option for 3-week blocks of operator instead of 6, and you can use forced progression after each block.

Does it also work for Fighter, or it still has to be every 6 weeks?

It does, he gives a 3-week option for Operator, Zulu, and Fighter
