Just happens that “100 pounds” on the stack tends to feel like enough weights for me to get a little resistance, but not so much that it violates the principles above. So that’s where I’ll usually land for these unless it feels too light or too heavy for whatever I’m doing.

Think I’ll give this a shot for the next few weeks on my bench press days - working up to one heavy triple rather than 3, and finishing with at least 3 sets of 10 at a backoff weight. Think I’ll benefit from some more volume and pump work.

Similarly - when I work out at the home gym, it’s just my one core lift and done usually - for the next few weeks, I’m going to try following my key core lift days with a workout at the gym where I do high-rep assistance work. So Monday squat days will be followed on Tuesdays by at least a 5x10 leg press and then some back work. Wednesday bench days will be followed on Thursdays by some chest and back pump work. This fits better into my daily/weekly schedule than doing hour-long sessions. Hopefully I get good results. Good, in this case, being that I stay healthy, look OK with a shirt off, and keep maxes around 405/315/500 for the big three.
