It's cause you are a fgt.

But seriously you are holding it over your face. If you have safety pins and or side spotters you can get crazy.

Lol oh when I get my hands on you.

Simmons gave a nice old school block to try out on the Westside podcast.
6 sets of 6, add weight each week, when that stops working drop down
8 sets of 8, add weight each week, when that stops working drop down
10 sets of 10, when that stops working, do something else.

Also people just don't track volume with enough precision. if you don't know what your volume was for the past 3 months then how are you going to pick a program to push your volume up in the next block?

Don't run this algorithm like many people do:
Randomly pick a program based on what other people say
Said program will have a random amount of volume compared to what you are doing now and you won't know if you don't keep good stats
volume > than what you are doing now = GREAT PROGRAM!
volume < than what you are doing now = PROGRAM SUCKS, DOESN'T WORK!

Coincidentally this is what I've been doing but in reverse, bench feels stronger week to week

Good ol' sub-max
