It's a way off for me but since we are discussing it, is there any benefit to starting a gym week with higher reps, lower weight squatting and finishing with high weight low rep squats?
Two different progressions but I feel the friday session would set you up to have your Monday session with the higher reps go longer and heavier.
Like when I was running I'd do faster run intervals that seemed to speed up my long distance a session a week
Ie.
Monday 80kg x 10 x 5
Friday 100kg x 5 x 5
I’ve done high reps - low reps session to session in the same week. Sometimes I did it when I’d chuck a secondary leg work out with say a back session.
But could you push the 100kg up, the weight is only increasing slightly and you are halving the reps. Or are you purposely holding back a fraction on the secondary session?
