I haven't been lifting much lately, but the last time I was lifting regularly I'd describe my routine like this:<p>A small number of compound lifts (deadlift, bench press, Arnold press, bent over row, farmers walk, etc.), done using a 5x5 routine. Weight progression is based on RPE. I usually go in with an expectation that most sets will be RPE 7 or 8 at the target weight I set. If a set has an RPE of 6 or less, I up the weight for the subsequent set(s). Then next time I do that workout, I look at "last week's" numbers (which might not be exactly a week ago, but close enough) estimate my goal numbers for this session, and start over. So if everything was RPE 7 or 8 (or less), I'll add weight. If I had any sets that were RPE 9 or 10 (or if I failed before the last target rep on any set), I keep the weight the same. Note that I rarely go to failure. I've gotten pretty good at estimating the right weight for my sessions.<p>I was pretty much doing just once a week during that period, due to my schedule. Not the best for making fast progress, but at my age and everything, I'm not too worried about "making fast progress".
