Ignore soreness, soreness is annoying, I'd rather have no DOMS at all

The only thing that matters is recoverable progressive overload not including trash reps, abit by abit until you reach your genetic limit

Add reps > add weight > reset and add another set
rinse ad repeat

play around with tempo
play around with explosiveness
play around with eccentric
play around with rest time
play around with angle

after you have played around with all the variables then only think about changing exercise
