As someone who has owned a gym for 18 years and coached clients from all walks of life for 20 years, percentages never made sense to me because when trying to stick to them, clients would get frustrated. Data shows that strength levels can fluctuate +/- 25-30% from factors like sleep, stress, dehydration, fatigue, etc.
This means that some days the percentages are too low and some days they are too high and the client could either push it more, or would have to back off some. People's lives don't do that well with most percentage based training.
What I learned from my friend Eric Cressey many years ago was one of the few percentage based systems I kept that has been extremely useful. For strength lifts, counting everything above 90% of the top lift for that day. This made sense because it goes based on the daily effort and readiness.
Check out the details and examples of how I use this percentage based system.

How does this compare wrt progression of strength over time to, using your eg, if you did regular 3 sets of 425x3 (after warm up)?

[@Luka-Hocevar]

Not quite understanding what you mean. This adjusts for fluctuations in week to week fatigue and performance, and still allows you to lift heavy and give you structure for that day. With this approach, over time, you're getting stronger but with less chance of burning yourself out or tweaking something.

@@Luka-Hocevar My bad, I get this. My question’s more if there’s literature/experience on, for eg, if you use this approach vs conventional for a yr, would strength progression on say a squat be similar or would you build less strength short term (but with upsides of reduced injury risk etc ofc)
