Weight increases


I've been picking scraps here and there lately on weight increases but I a devoted thread wouldn't hurt. By weight increases I mean of course performing the same routine but with a higher level of resistance the next week. Anyone else catch themself performing the same weight with the same amount of reps on a movement a few weeks in a row?

I'm finding different body areas respond to different tactics. For example for trap shrugs I can follow the simplest route and just keep adding weight. I've found my bench best respond to a disected routine. I.e. tricep work and off the chest, first 6" of travel work and then bringing it all together.

I'm still at a loss with Deadlifts though. I've gotten 300 lbs up to 6 reps now and can barely squeeze out a clean 1RM at 320.

Anywho, I figured there was probably some silent synergy in regards to this topic and a public discussion might answer a few questions.
