What does your strength program look like? I just work up to a set of 3 reps. Eventually I am able to hit 4 or 5 reps, and that's when I increase the weight.

I have gone from a 185lb Squat last year January to a 295lb Squat. And a 185lb incline bench to a 230lb Incline bench.

I do something similar
I just make sure i can do 5 reps for my working sets
So my bench sets look something like
1 pl8, 1.5 pl8, 1.75 pl8 x 5 sets, where 1 and 1.5 pl8 are warmup
When i can confidently do 5 reps of the weight at least 3x, ill move up

As for routine, im on break right now as i just graduated from university and am not active in my varsity team now, so i do something like

Mon or fri: 6km run (≈3.7mi)
Tues: program a or b
Wed: 6km run
Thurs: program b/a if i did program a/b on tues
Wkends : hiking with gf

Program A:
Benchpress 5x5
Weighted pullups 5x10reps
Forearm curls 5x10
Farmers walk 3x1min

Program B:
OHP 5x5
Weighted Pullups 5x10
Upper pec flies 5x10
Handstand progression (training to do handstand pushup)

Nice progress on your squat btw
