For example squats
take 85% of your 1RM, which would be your 6 rep max. And try and do three sets of 5 with it. Alternate between heavy and light days at varying intensities.

looking to vary w/o
ive been doing an 8-6-4 pyramid (after warm up) for the longest time now.
any suggestions? ive never actually done anything other than that.
would like to experiment with hitting different muscle fibers perhaps.
