Very interesting!
But I find if I don't do my heavy set at set 4-6 I don't progress in more weight. Too soon and I'm not warm enough.

I think this is describing first set proper set. There was another study my running coach showed me which says most people only lift 54% of what they could as 1rm. So these two things combined made me think 3-4sets is ideal but ymmv
As a new dad if I can do a couple fewer sets here and there it means I’m getting a lil more bang for my buck 😁

Since I read this post from Chris Beardsley I’ve reduced most of my sets to 3 or 4. Also reducing reps and increasing weight. Added benefit is workouts are more efficient - although probably have more time between sets.
Also today I got up to 145kg deadlift so almost double BW 😁
