Well, I am basically 72 inches tall, or 6 feet. More accurately 68.5 inches, BUT CLOSE ENOUGH RIGHT.

1 or 2 reps in the tank if a gun was held to your head is how I’ve always approached it. Usually, to me, that works out as 1 or 2 reps over a rep PR, especially if you’ve been running it for a while. Sometimes I get closer to failure, sometimes further away, but i almost always get a rep PR unless I’m doing something really stupid. I sometimes do really stupid stuff. Like you though, my rep PRs tend to fall somewhere between 8 and 16 reps, when they start getting much into single figures, I figure I need to start reassessing something because I’m likely to stall soon.
For what little it’s worth, I think 531 is an awesome philosophy and template for non competitors if you stick pretty much to Jim’s templates. It is boring as fuck though

As a genuine, signed up member of the 6 foot club, you can only come in if you wear heels.

10 inches should do it

I think that when you use a scripted, non maximal percentage and number of sets/reps you auto-regulate with Effort.
If you feel great, you Smash the weights that day. Maybe your rests are a little shorter, or the bar moves faster or your technique is super sharp. Or you just get through your session faster.
If you believe in physics, moving the bar faster takes more force than going slow. When you feel good and the bar feels light you can auto-regulate and make the workout harder (literally require more force) by adding a little weight to the bar. Or you could just push the bar faster.
Even getting through your workout with shorter rests (same work, less time) requires a lot more force and makes your workout harder without adding weight. This kinda seems impossible/too good to be true but Sam Byrd was a world record squatter who used shorter workouts to progress.
On days when you don’t feel so great the non maximal weights are enough to stimulate gains (like clinically proven by Russians, if you believe in those guys) without crushing you or impacting recovery for next time. Without having to worry about adjusting the bar weight or messing with sets/reps.
TL/DR: If weights seem light, auto regulate by getting a Double Flawless Fatality that workout.

It seems to always come up in this thread. Not sure why.

Maybe I should change the name of this thread to “Carry on Training!”

Tru it’s easy to forget there are many ways to progress. Powerlifters focused on weight on the bar because that’s like the most specific and shit
Well the back and leg soreness two days after training is real !! Got on the roller to work my glutes and back a bit but it’s still really tight. I have squats working up to a single and some back off sets tomorrow. That should prove to be interesting!!
