I need help understanding what the best way to surpass a weight is.
So i've abandoned 5x5. The progress is too slow. I've been on 185lb for 5x5 for a while now. Then I started trying just trying the heaviest weight I can do and just lowering the weight till I can't go anymore. It's clearly more effective. But I think 5x5 was good for beggining. However this new method doesn't really seem so, professional? if that makes sense. Like doesn't seem like you can really measure progress that way, but I guess if it works it works.
What do you guys do? Would it be okay to just continue doing this or will I hit a consequence of some sort eventually?

45lb plate + 25lb plate

yeah that's what I want to do, but I see all these routines that have like 80% max, then 70% max.
Like would it just be okay to just load up the bar and try to push it?

oh im sorry. i meant bench.
i have autism. please don't go

>>40623047
ok thats intermediate for bench so instead of what youre doing if you still want to get stronger i would look at some follow on and advanced programs from 5x5 like greyskulls, texas method etc, try them out and see what works for you. most of them will feature less sets at working weight like 3x5 with a couple of warmups.
also, microplates my dude.

yeah. but i made really fast progress with the whole deloading way. i just wanted to know if its possible to just keep doing it.
>>
>>40623195
yeah of course, as long as you progress do whatever works for you. deloading is legit but i've never heard of anyone doing it for an extended period of time. sometimes you just need it to boost yourself again. do whatever gets results.

yeah i saw this really ripped guy benching 4pl8 and i asked him how he got so strong and he told me to just fuck my shit up everyday so that's when i started doing it and im getting good results
