The 10% rule is good. Once you become more experienced, you can bump it up every week instead of every 2 weeks. Just remember that it can take 6-8 weeks for the body to adapt to new loads being placed on it. Just like healing a broken bone, the body is trying to build mass (bone, muscle, etc.) to handle the new stresses.
