Finding out what the last rep before failure feels like will probably be the most insightful thing to do tbh (which as you might have guessed, means going to failure) - that’ll inform you best as to what your jumps up should be.

That sounds like a good way to progress (sometimes called a ‘double progression’). Do you think it’ll be hard going from 60x8 as your hardest set to 60x8 then 70x8 straight after? Id be tempted to go up 5kg as an intermediate step.

Again, I’m a bit more basic- When I can get my last set to 60 with no break I’ll try 70 next time, starting at 40.
On the incline bench press I don’t have the confidence to try 60 for 8 as I think I might fail to put it back on the rack at some point, so yesterday I tried 55 and got all my reps. I’ll likely do 55 again next time, or until I can get all 8 in one smooth set, then go up to 60, repeat. I’d like to get beyond bodyweight (80kg) but other than that don’t really have a goal.
