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.
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.
